From the book reviews:
“This work remains a necessary resource for basic research in environmental science, management, and program development. It can serve as a textbook or reference for students in relevant programs such as geography, ecology, and resource management. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (J. Chen, Choice, Vol. 52 (4), December, 2014)
““Ecosystem Geography” is the most clearly written and content-packed book I’ve ever read. Let me state that again: it is the most clearly written technical book I’ve ever read. I really admire Bob a lot. The latest edition of his book, “Ecoregions,” has the simplest, best summary of climate change I’ve seen.” (David D. Diamond, Director, Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership (MoRAP), University of Missouri)
