Reviews

Reviews from the Hardback Edition: 'This volume is written by a worldwide group of scientists and superbly edited by Myers and Giller. The book provides an excellent discussion of the theoretical bases of biogeography; moreover, it provides an astute and lucid description of what science, in general, is all about. The treatment of the various aspects of biogeography is diverse yet well balanced.' Choice 'Biogeography is as basic to biology as evolution, but the subject's development has been hindered by historical constraints... Analytical Biogeography shows that things have changed, and that biogeography can be a fascinating, rigorous and unified subject...' Nature 'No-one who teaches an advanced course on biogeography should fail to obtain a copy of this book.' Linnean Society Newsletter 'Deserves the attention of all evolutionary biologists, and of their students. It is one of the few books ... that performs the full sweep through the diverse fundamentals of evolutionary biology, including its strenghs, weaknesses, and some of its loose ends.' The American Museum of Natural History '...coverage of topics and approaches is better than one has any right to expect...The result is probably the best book available...' Evolutionary Theory
