About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Having a thorough textbook that explains the principles and techniques of landscape ecology is an important resource. … This book takes a North American approach at an introductory level, filling a void in the landscape ecology literature. … The discussion questions and recommended readings at the end of each chapter guide teaching and learning. … The text is a real boon to professors and students. … The book is a thorough treatment of the current activities of landscape ecology, and I recommend it highly." (Nancy E. McIntyre, Ecology, 83 (1), 2002)
"An ecologist’s viewpoint on the theories and uses of a burgeoning multidisciplinary subject is proffered. … It is an informative, comprehensive, up-to-date and generally well-written account which will be of considerable use to its target readership of advanced undergraduate, postgraduate and professional ecologists." (Robert Jones, Geography, October, 2002)
"All chapters end with a series of stimulating questions for discussion and some well-selected recommendations for further reading. … This is not an introductory text; it assumes, for example, a background knowledge of GIS, fractal geometry, and modelling principles. It will therefore prove useful for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate courses in this discipline." (Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, Vol. 33 (1), 2002)
