Jared Diamond, Professor of Geography at UCLA, is the Pulitzer-prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, and other best-selling books. This is an excellent book; a key volume in conservation biology. The coupled human and natural systems approach provides useful insights from local studies for global sustainability. Paul R. Ehrlich, President of the Center for Conservation Biology, Stanford University. No work like this has crossed my desk in the 10 years I have been reviewing books in the field, and I feel sure it will come to be viewed as landmark in wildlife:human interactions. David L.

Hawksworth, Biodiversity and Conservation * Author InformationDr. Jianguo (Jack) Liu is Rachel Carson Chair in Sustainability and University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife as well as Director of the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability at Michigan State University (MSU). He is also a guess professor in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His major research interests include coupled human and natural systems, telecoupling, conservation ecology, and integration of ecology with social sciences and policy for understanding and achieving sustainability. His work has been published in journals such as Science and Nature, and featured in the global news media. Vanessa Hull is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability (CSIS) at Michigan State University. Her research interests include animal behavior and ecology, landscape ecology, and conservation biology. She received her PhD in Fisheries and Wildlife from Michigan State University in 2014. Her work has been published in journals such as Biological Conservation, Ecology and Society, and Science, and has been widely featured in the news media. She has also previously co-edited a book Sources, Sinks, and Sustainability (2011, Cambridge University Press). Dr. Wu Yang is an Associate Scientist and Manager of Monitoring & Evaluation at Conservation International, Arlington, Virginia. He is interested in quantifying and understanding the interactions among policy interventions, natural capital, and human well-being.
