Issues and Perspectives in Landscape Ecology

Issues and Perspectives in Landscape Ecology by John A Wiens

Through a series of personal essays, this book addresses a wide array of past, current, and future issues in landscape ecology. The essays have been contributed by leading landscape ecologists from North America, Europe, and Australia, and provide an overview of the rich tapestry of viewpoints and perspectives that make landscape ecology at once a well-defined and yet also a frustratingly diverse discipline. The contributions span a range of topics and approaches, addressing theory as well as practice, science as well as application, conservation as well as utilization, and aquatic as well as terrestrial systems. The volume therefore provides informative and entertaining reading for beginning and advanced students, landscape managers, conservationists, and teachers.

'… a comprehensive inspiring book valuable for practicing conservationists and postgraduate students' Tomáš Kučera, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
'…each essay provides the opportunity to broaden one's academic and personal horizons on a wide array of landscape ecological themes.' Phytocoenologia
