Purchase options and add-ons

Principles of Conservation Biology, Third Edition features a wholly revised organization, emphasizing analyses of different categories of threat and approaches to conservation. Coverage has been expanded to incorporate both terrestrial and marine conservation issues, and efforts in the U.S. and across the globe.

Principles' eighteen chapters introduce the major themes and concepts of this diverse and dynamic field. The biological and social underpinnings of conservation problems and potential solutions are interwoven throughout the text, which is divided into three sections: foundations of the field, threats to biodiversity, and approaches to solving conservation problems. Guest essays and case studies provide a diversity of perspectives and real-world examples that add insight and provoke discussion. The text is richly illustrated, and concludes with an extensive glossary and bibliography.

This book is intended for use in conservation biology courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as by researchers and practitioners, and assumes a basic background in biology and ecology.

5.0 out of 5 stars 保全生物学の体系と課題、実践との関連性がわかる本
Reviewed in Japan on 17 September 2010

なんといっても、ボリュームが多く、ハードカバーなのに安いのが魅力です。
保全生物学を学びたい学生さんにお勧めできるスタンダードな一冊です。図表がとても豊富で、授業で教員が楽するのにもちょうどいい資料となります（チャプターごとにあるエッセイとケーススタデイーが優れていて参考になる）。
いわゆる生態学の一般的な理論から保全の意義や歴史にはじまり、気候変動の影響、外来種の問題、restrationの考え方と実例が解説されています。これにつづいて、保全計画や生態系管理の考え方やUrban Ecologyの事例と意義紹介、ミレニアムアセスメント、2010年目標、合意形成や国際的課題、保全教育といった学際領域にも触れています。最後のチャプターにある"Meeting conservation challenges in the twenty-first century"がとても新鮮で、頭の中を整理してくれました。
生態学の基礎的な理論を背景として、実践的に保全に関する活動に取り組みたいと思っている方におすすめしたい本です。お気に入りは、Ch.12:Protected Areaです。数多く実例をあげて、理論と実践がリンクされています。
