... excellent and timely book ... The authors do a great job in their thoughtful and sustainable discussion of these complex issues. For the first time since the term biodiversity was coined in the 1980s, this reviewer feels somewhat comfortable that scientists are providing the leadership role in biodiversity assessment in the context of managed forests ... General readers; undergraduates through professionals.
