Reviews

“The book focuses on ethnobiology, or the interaction of humans and their environments. … The book is nicely illustrated with color and black-and-white plates. The text is very readable and will be particularly helpful to coral reef biologists/ecologists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in how humans interact with a specific environment. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; general readers.” (L. T. Spencer, Choice, Vol. 53 (12), September, 2016)
