"Eight years ago, Biodiversity helped sound the alarm that we are in the midst of a global bioidiversity crises—a modern day "sixth extinction." Now, BIODIVERSITY II takes us the next step, outlining the strategies necessary to stem the tide of this mass extinction event. In its pages , we learn how far we have come—and where we still need to go to salvage the precious living resources of planet Earth." Niles Eldredge, curator"An important and highly infulential volume." Peter Raven, Director"This is a substantial and scholarly contribution to the biodiversity literature" Michael H. Robinson, Director |
"E.O. Wilson and his colleagues have done it again. It is hard to believe that nearly a decade has passed since the pathbreaking Biodiversity was published, and now we have a worthy successor in BIODIVERSITY II. Anyone interested in what arguably is the single most important human problem, the loss of our biological capital, will want to own this book."
Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies |
