This revised second edition provides an introductory guide
through the maze of interdisciplinary themes that comprise
'biodiversity.' It combines biological sciences with insights into
the origins, variety and distribution of biodiversity, analysis of
the social and political context, and the threats to, and
opportunities for, the survival of natural systems.
Whilst retaining its existing structure, this updated new
edition reflects advances that have demonstrated the importance of
living systems as drivers of environmental services vital to human
health and security. The final chapter has been revised to tackle
more explicitly the contrasting approaches to conservation, and
throughout, the book has been updated to reflect new research and
developments.
With highly original international case studies and ample
illustrations to explain difficult topics clearly, this excellent
book remains the only introductory text which brings together the
full range of theory and practice of biodiversity and conservation
.
