Product Description
Review
"This is an excellent and much needed book that finally brings together the social and anthropogenic insights needed to push conservation biology to a higher and more pragmatic level. I was hooked from the preface on, and found interesting and thoughtful ideas throughout." - Andrew P. Dobson, Princeton University; "This is an extremely interesting, well-written, wide-ranging, and very timely book. It covers a vast range of literature at the crucial yet rarely synthesized interface of biology and the social sciences, and should be very widely read. It is particularly helpful in the way it sets our the background to key debates, clearing up often-confused terminology and muddled concepts." - Andrew Balmford, University of Cambridge"
Review
Balancing the rights of local people with the obligation to preserve viable ecosystems for future generations is the single most pressing challenge confronting global citizens in the twenty-first century. In this book, Borgerhoff Mulder and Coppolillo provide a lucid and admirably interdisciplinary synthesis of anthropological, biological, and economic perspectives essential to scientifically enlightened dialogue in this domain. Conservation: Linking Ecology, Economics, and Culture grew out of a pioneering course titled 'People and Conservation,' but this unique synthesis will be as helpful to policy makers and park managers as it will be to teachers and students interested in conservation biology and anthropology. It is a book that deserves to be widely adopted.

Broadens your conservation perspectives
25 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
This was a required text for an environmental anthropology class I attended last semester at BSU. If you're looking for a single place to get brought up to speed on conservation practices and/or environmental issues on a macro level, this book is for you. Most of the information presented by Mulder and Coppolillo is straight forward and unbiased.
