Media Reviews
This book has one very interesting feature: it comes with a CD Rom complete with exercises and an evaluation copy of a mathematical calculating/drawing program called Mathcad... Overall, a comprehensive text, well designed, aimed at the more experienced student/conservationist. (Teaching Ecology Group Newsletter) The scope of the book is broad and the subject matter logically presented and well-explained. (Bulletin of the British Ecological Society)
