Review


"If a book could receive a standing ovation - this one is a candidate. Sodhi and Ehrlich have created a comprehensive introduction to conservation biology that is accessible intellectually, and financially, to a broad audience - indeed it is conservation biology for all. The quality and clarity of the writing makes this book an invaluable asset to the conservationist's toolbox."--Ecology


"Conservation Biology for All is a textbook that aims to be a one-stop shop for conservation education. The book is packed with information, is wide ranging, and includes most emerging issues that come under the umbrella of conservation biology today. Does the book live up to its 'for all' title? In its entirety it does, and I challenge any reader not to find something useful and relevant in it."--Trends in Ecology and Evolution
