RE: succint reading on biodiversity?
This jumps to mind. Emphasis on succinct! Ehrenfeld, David. 1986. Thirty Million Cheers for Biodiversity. New Scientist, June 12, 1986, 40-43 Cheers, Bill Hipwell -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of C. Epstein Sent: Monday, 31 July 2006 2:16 p.m. To: GEP-Ed Subject: succint reading on biodiversity? Dear All, can any one think of a succint, to the point, and shortish reading on biodiversity, that would present both the scientific issue and the existing policy arrangements/conventions? It seems suprisingly difficult to find anything that does that simply. This is for my undergrad course on 'Environmental POlitics and Policy' at Sydney University Thanks charlotte
RE: succint reading on biodiversity?
Erm, that should have been seminal, not seminar and the date on the Lyster book is actually 1985. Cambridge University Press's web site is showing it as 1993, but I think that's a straight reprint of the original 1985 text. I don't believe the book has been updated.
