Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'This is a fascinating insight into a world that is often seen as closed to all but a few specialists ... There's a wealth of detail here that could be used in a range of situations. Those regularly involved in conservation education would do well to read this text.' TENews

'It has many useful papers on the practice of taxonomy and how it is necessary for conservation. It has several chapters which directly address the gap between plant taxonomy as a science and use of the products of that science by practitioners in other disciplines ...' BGjournal

'The first section provides clear well written summaries of the scope and methods of modern taxonomy. It incorporates five chapters starting with a marvellous brief introduction to the subject ... there is a clarity and readability throughout the book that allows taxonomy to be presented as a vibrant and exciting branch of biology with a clear relevance to current conservation challenges. In addition to appealing to to the specialist it can certainly be recommended to those who currently only have a passing acquaintance with the subject.' Biologist
