Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Landscape ecology focuses on spatial heterogeneity, or the idea
that where things are and where they are in relation to other
things can have important consequences for a wide range of
phenomena. Landscape ecology integrates humans with natural
ecosystems and brings a spatial perspective to such fields as
natural resource management, conservation, and urban planning.
The thirty-seven papers included in this volume present the
origins and development of landscape ecology and encompass a
variety of perspectives, approaches, and geographies. The editors
begin with articles that illuminate the discipline's diverse
scientific foundations, such as L. S. Berg's keystone paper
outlining a geoecological analysis based on soil science, physical
geography, and geology. Next they include selections exemplifying
landscape ecologists' growing awareness of spatial pattern, the
different ways they incorporated scale into their work, the
progression of landscape ecology from a qualitative to a
quantitative discipline, and how concepts from landscape ecology
have come to permeate ecological research and influence land-use
policy, conservation practices, landscape architecture, and
geography. Together these articles provide a solid introduction to
what is now widely recognized as an important area of research and
application that encourages new ways of thinking about natural and
human-dominated ecosystems.
