Reviews
Aus den Rezensionen: ... Das Buch ist sorgfaltig erstellt und mit zahlreichen -- auch farbigen -- Karten, Fotos und Zeichnungen illustriert. Wer sich in der Forschung mit der Pflanzengeografie befasst, wird die historischen Betrachtungen ebenso sowie die Analysen und Bewertungen des Autors zu schatzen wissen ! (Norbert Bartsch, in: Forstarchiv, July/August 2011, Vol. 82, Issue 4, S. 167 f.)
From the reviews: ""The physical geography and geobiotic history of Chile is carefully summarized ... thus making Earth history easier for, say, an ecologist to understand. ... the use of tracks and plentiful distribution maps does make it easier to understand and visualize the connections between floral elements globally. ... I highly recommend this text for those willing to incorporate geobiotic history, physical geography, taxonomy, and bioregionalization in their biogeographical pursuits."" (Malte C. Ebach, Systematic Biology, Vol. 61 (5), 2012) ""Andres Moreira-Munoz has written a book on the evolutionary biogeography of Chile, from the viewpoint of plants. ... I really enjoyed reading this book. It contains an impressive amount of information. ... it explores different ... approaches that have been proposed to explain biogeographical patterns, suggesting that the vicariance/dispersal dichotomy is just too simple a problem design to deal with the complexities of evolutionary biogeography. This book should be read by biogeographers, systematists, naturalists, ecologists, and any other person interested in biogeography and evolution."" (Juan J. Morrone, Cladistics, Vol. 28, 2012)

Author Information
Andrés Moreira-Muñoz was born in Los Angeles (Chile), studied at the German School in Santiago and graduated as Professional Geographer at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Botanical interest was inherited from his grandfa-ther and mother, both renowned botanists at the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural in Santiago. He obtained his doctoral degree in Geography from the University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, under the direction of the plant geographer Prof. Michael Richter. He currently occupies a position as assistant professor at the Instituto de Geo-grafía, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and develops research projects about the chorology of Chilean plants, conservation biogeography and field-based education.
