"...a comprehensive and timely presentation of applied ecology... One of the obvious strengths is that there has been a conscious effort to integrate work by a wide range of specialists including ecologists, economists and engineers. ...the organization of papers was logical and allowed easy identification of specific papers pertaining to issues, whether they be related to ecological theory or political policy...
The material presented would be an ideal source for a graduate seminar course or as supplementary material for undergraduate courses in Sustainable Development. The stated objective of this series of publications from WIT is to provide current information on basic and applied research, as well as practical applications to the field of ecology... They have done a laudable job of covering the spectrum of ecological sciences: ecological modeling, socioeconomic ecology, conservation, management and recovery of endangered species and degraded areas, sustainable development, information techniques and tools, ecological engineering, health and development, urbanism and land use, and legal and ethical concerns.
This volume has successfully achieved their stated objectives and I recommend it to any scholar interested in the field of sustainable resource management and applied ecology."
CANADIAN SOCIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGISTS NEWSLETTER The tasks facing ecologists now require collaboration with a wide range of specialists including scientists, engineers, and economists. Placing emphasis on areas that will most benefit from the application of scientific methods, this volume contains edited versions of papers presented at the Third International Conference on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development. Over 75 contributions highlighting recent work on different aspects of the engineering, modelling and theory of ecosystems are included. These are divided under the following headings: Sustainable Development Issues; Environmental and Ecological Policies; Ecological Modelling in Environmental Management; Erosion and Soil Management; Biodiversity; Natural Resource Management; Environmental Risk; Water Resources Issues; Wetland and Lakustrine Issues; Forestation Issues; Sustainable Agro Systems; Energy Generation and Conservation; Ecotoxicology Models; and Mathematical and System Modelling.
