Conservation Science: Balancing the Needs of People and Nature

Peter Kareiva has written an excellent book - one that offers HOPE. He is probably not much liked by the extremists, but his logical and practical approach is worth a second look. Although I do not agree with some of the things especially the whole issue of "global warming" as it is touted, his ideas speak more of keeping and dressing the world we have been given. He pulls no punches with the need for hard decisions, and he is clear that it will not be a 'happily ever after' but a world husbanded and nurtured to the best of (noble) man's ability. Not only should this be a part of environmental sciences, but also in planning - urban and rural.

I taught Conservation Science this semester and I thought this book was fantastic. Supper easy to comprehend and help teach students about the complicated issues involved in conservation science. It's an excellent introduction to conservation science.

this product was delivered as ordered, perfect/new condition, exactly as described and came about 7 days earlier than expected. will order from then again

Came in very great condition and overall great customer service. Would recommend!

The book was in great condition

This textbook rental was MUCH less expensive than buying it from the bookstore. Great bargain.

Book needed for school. Buying used books saves lots of money. Saved me about 50 bucks and worked just as well. Good book.

I know it seems strange to call a textbook "a good read", but this textbook is a great resource for anyone interested in conservation biology and ecology.
