      abstract = {This book provides a thorough, up-to-date examination of  conservation biology and the many supporting disciplines  that comprise conservation science. In this, the Third  Edition of the highly successful Conservation Biology:  Foundations, Concepts, Applications, the authors address  their interdisciplinary topic as it must now be practiced  and perceived in the modern world. Beginning with a concise  review of the history of conservation, the authors go on to  explore the interplay of conservation with genetics,  demography, habitat and landscape, aquatic environments,  and ecosystem management, and the relationship of all these  disciplines to ethics, economics, law, and policy. An  entirely new chapter, The Anthropocene: Conservation in a  Human-Dominated Nature, breaks new ground in its  exploration of how conservation can be practiced in  anthropogenic biomes, novel ecosystems, and urban habitats.  The Third Edition includes the popular Points of Engagement  discussion questions used in earlier editions, and adds a  new feature: Information Boxes, which briefly recap  specific case histories described in the text. A concluding  chapter offers insight into how to become a conservation  professional, in both traditional and non-traditional  roles. The authors, Fred Van Dyke and Rachel Lamb, draw on  their expertise as field biologists, wildlife managers,  consultants to government and industry, and scholars of  environmental law, policy, and advocacy, as well as their  many years of effective teaching experience. Informed by  practical knowledge and acquired skills, the authors have  created a work of exceptional clarity and readability which  encompasses both systemic foundations as well as  contemporary developments in the field. Conservation  Biology: Foundations, Concepts, Applications will be of  invaluable benefit to undergraduate and graduate students,  as well as to working conservation scientists and managers.  This is an amazing resource for students, faculty, and  practitioners both ne w and experienced to the field. Diane  Debinski, PhD Unexcelled wisdom for living at home on  Wonderland Earth, the planet with promise, destined for  abundant life. Holmes Rolston, PhD Van Dyke and Lamb have  maintained the original texts emphasis on connecting  classical ecological and environmental work with updated  modern applications and lucid examples. But more  importantly, the third edition contains much new material  on the human side of conservation, including expanded  treatments of policy, economics, and climate change. Tim  Van Deelen, PhD Fred Van Dyke and Rachel Lamb break new  ground in both the breadth and depth of their review and  analysis of this crucially important and rapidly changing  field. Any student or other reader wishing to have a  comprehensive overview and understanding of the  complexities of conservation biology need look no further -  this book is your starting point! Simon N.
