Reviews

a very accomplished text, providing a concise overview of a complex subject with admirable clarity. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anybody working in the field of environmental management or conservation. * Christopher P Cesar, African Journal of Range & Forage Science * Less frequently than the occurrence of a blue moon, a monograph comes along that not only crystallizes an entire field of research but also is such a good read that once one picks it up, s/he won't put it down until every page has been absorbed. Peter Petraitis' Multiple stable states in natural ecosystems is just such a book. * Aaron M. Ellison, Ecology *
