Reviews

This special volume deserves a wider reading audiencethan ecologists and conservation researchers (for whom it isprimarily intended). It should be read by all of us inenvironmental, pollution, and human ecology research. It offersmost useful material to be discussed in classes on theinterdisciplinary nature of environmental sciences.
