Principles of Conservation Biology

martha j. groom gary k. meffe c. ronald carroll

Principles of Conservation Biology, Third Edition features a wholly revised organization, emphasizing analyses of different categories of threat and approaches to conservation. Coverage has been expanded to incorporate both terrestrial and marine conservation issues, and efforts in the U.S. and across the globe. Principles' eighteen chapters introduce the major themes and concepts of this diverse and dynamic field. The biological and social underpinnings of conservation problems and potential solutions are interwoven throughout the text, which is divided into three foundations of the field, threats to biodiversity, and approaches to solving conservation problems. Guest essays and case studies provide a diversity of perspectives and real-world examples that add insight and provoke discussion. The text is richly illustrated, and concludes with an extensive glossary and bibliography. This book is intended for use in conservation biology courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as by researchers and practitioners, and assumes a basic background in biology and ecology.

I read this book during my master's degree program. As bulky as it looks, this book is quite comprehensive. It provides you with a wide range of conservation issues and their potential solutions. Case studies are also presented to make it more insightful. I would recommend the book to conservation biology students and anyone who works or is interested in the field of conservation biology.
