From the reviews:
“This book is aimed at researchers working in ecology and conservation who are interested in making use of the vast amount of information stored within the fossil record. The greatest strength of the book is that it teaches conservation planners how to access the vertebrate paleontological record, in order to extract the long-term demographic data that they require. … it provides the building blocks required in order to achieve greater integration between palaeo- and neo-ecology and conservation biology … .” (Elizabeth S. Jeffers, Frontiers of biogeography, Vol. 5 (1), 2013)
“This book is a must read for ecologists interested in biodiversity and the impact that human populations are having on the environment. Louys … has done a superb job of pulling together papers that highlight the interaction between the fields of paleontology and ecology. … Valuable for all ecologists and students in paleontology (earth sciences) and ecological studies, as well as students and faculty with an interest in biodiversity. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Students of all levels, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners.” (T. A. Franz-Odendaal, Choice, Vol. 50 (4), December, 2012)Editors and Affiliations
