Reviews

Taken as a whole, this collection of chapters will provide a benchmark for understanding how we are to understand the global consequences of human consumption. * Quarterly Review of Biology * The editors of this volume accomplished their goal of reaching a broad audience and providing this audience with an understanding of the factors affecting wildlife and their habitats. The book will be most useful for wildlife students, but will also have immense utility for managers seeking to understand and address emerging habitat threats, and for researchers aiming to broaden their perspectives on the variety of factors influencing habitat. * Landscape Ecologist * In this very worthwhile book, the editors and chapter authors have accomplished the important task of setting forth a path to guide habitat management and conservation. * Great Plains Research * An excellent contribution to the understanding of what habitat is and how to conserve it. * Conservation Biology * A timely volume . . . A useful book for those interested in natural resources. * Choice *
