Reviews

From the reviews: <p> The main aim of this book is to explore the ecological complexity in marine systems in the light of setting a new conservation agenda using the power of dynamic modeling via the graphical programming language of STELLA Research software. a ] The CD-ROM includes all the examples illustrated in the chapters and is a very useful traveling companion for this journey a ] . I recommend this book to anyone interested in actively learning about and understanding the new challenges in marine conservation and related issues. (Andrea Belgrano, Ecology, Vol. 83 (9), 2002)
