About this title

Review:

This edited book delivers exactly what it says in the title: an up-to-date account of the state of play of measuring and assessing biodiversity ... the intended target audience includes graduate students and advanced researchers and practitioners in the world of conservation ... anyone interested in the serious study of biodiversity should have a copy. (Robert H. Marrs, Biological Conservation)

probably the best single-volume book on biodiversity available to date. (Bulletin of the European Dry Grassland Group)
