Summary, Etc. Note: |
Review: "Introduced Mammals of the World is an essential reference for students of ecological systems management and biological conservation. It provides an invaluable tool by which scientists can assess future potential introductions (or re-introductions) and so avoid costly mistakes. It also provides tangible proof of the need for political decision-makers to consider good advice and make wise and cautious decisions."--Jacket. |
