"Ecological Restoration is a well-written, well-produced, and well-illustrated overview of the science of restoration ecology. The text is clear and readable. It recognizes the biological, social, and (to a lesser degree) economic aspects of modern restoration. It deservedly will become a required text in many restoration ecology courses, and should be on the shelves of restoration researchers and practitioners. This book does an admirable job summarizing the current state of a diverse and ever-changing field."--Truman P. Young, Ecological Restoration "Finally, with the publication of Ecological Restoration by Susan M. Galatowitsch, students and other users will have a more circumspect and comprehensive understanding of what really is required of successful ecological restoration projects. Nineteen case studies from around the world add clarity and depth to the process and acts of restoration. I would recommend Ecological Restoration for an introductory ecosystem restoration course as well as for advanced coursework and practical field courses, along with other complementary books."--Steven I. Apfelbaum, Ecological Restoration "Until recently, practitioners and those teaching ecological restoration to future planners, policy makers, managers, or researchers have been without a comprehensive text addressing this complex subject. Thus, Ecological Restoration represents an important milestone for the discipline and fills a gaping hole in the instruction of ecosystem and species restoration. What I like most about the book is its clear writing, the accessibility of information, purposeful organization, and thoughtful integration of case studies throughout the text."--William L. Hohman, The Journal of Wildlife Management "From the very first chapter, the case studies are carefully woven into the text to illustrate specific points or concepts and used in often demanding student exercises. This is extremely effective and keeps the theory and practice in close juxtaposition. Overall, this splendid book more than meets its stated aim of improving the outcomes of restoration practice by strengthening the connections between ecological concepts and real-world decision-making."--Bruce D. Clarkson, Ecological Management & Restoration, 'The paradigm has shifted. While many mid-career conservation biologists cut their teeth on the notion of saving pristine ecosystems, we now know that there are few remaining pristine environments. Instead the future for many ecosystems lies in reclamation and restoration, and Sue Galatowitsch's new book points the way. Divided into restoration processes, approaches,and case studies, this book not only shows the way but boosts morale as the 19 case studies show spectacular results of restorations from ecosystems around the world. This book will provide perspective and background for researchers and the basis for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses for students interested in healing a broken earth.' -Michael J.

Synopsis
Ecological Restoration provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies being used around the world to reverse human impacts to landscapes, ecosystems, and species. This book aims to improve the outcomes of restoration practice by strengthening the connections between ecological concepts and real-world decision-making: students explore each topic considering both research-based knowledge and lessons learned from nineteen actual restorations. Details of these ecological restorations, from underwater reefs to mines in hot deserts, are woven into each chapter, presented as case studies, and used in exercises. Because introductory ecological restoration courses are taken by undergraduate students from a wide variety of academic backgrounds, the book explains and applies basic concepts from many supporting fields that serve as the foundation for practice, including ecology, conservation biology, earth and water sciences, environmental design, and public policy. For Instructors (Available to Qualified Adopters) Instructor's Resource Library The Instructor's Resource Library features all of the textbook's figures and tables, provided both as JPEGs (high-and low-resolution) and ready-to-use PowerPoint presentations. All of the images have been formatted and optimized for excellent projection quality., Ecological Restoration provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies being used around the world to reverse human impacts to landscapes, ecosystems, and species.

- c***e (43)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAbsolutely stellar and speedy shipping by the seller! I really love when a seller has a tracking number for you and doesn't take a week to actually get it to the post office. Packaging was nice not a lot of wear or anything which is great and the box was padded well and I can't complain at all about how good it all looks. He absolutely meant it when he said it was brand new. I'm very pleased with the fine service and the fine product that I got for the money. It was an excellent value.
