"The best hope for protecting and sustaining the earth rests in
understanding the way it works, particularly the ways in which
human activities shape the natural world. The geographers reporting
here bring a special set of skills to their work. They show us how
complicated, delicate, and enigmatic the interactions of people and
nature can be, and how careful we must be in our tinkering if we
want to keep celebrating a planet like this one."--David R. Brower,
Earth Island Institute
"This is a substantial and scholarly contribution by geographers to
the biological conservation literature."--Thomas T. Veblen,
University of Colorado
