Biogeography

by James H. Brown

Starting from simple facts and principles and assuming only a rudimentary knowledge of biology, geography, and Earth history, the updated and revised text explains the relationships between geographic variation in biodiversity and the geological, ecological, and evolutionary processes that have produced them. Written in an engaging style, Biogeography emphasizes the interplay between unifying concepts and presents evidence that supports or challenges these concepts.

Good

[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

A useful text with clear and concise illustrations and diagrams. The text is thorough yet readable and describes the links between the physical and biological environments very well. A very useful text for any who want to understand why some habitats are where they are and how everything on Earth linked through the numerous environmental processes.

For BIOL 2251: Biodiversity and Conversation of Animals

Overall a good textbook. Some parts were dry (e.i. the intro about different people in biogeography). I particularly enjoyed the section about metapopulations. I wish I had bought this textbook instead of renting it.

First, I must complain about the glossy pages. When trying to read it, the glare made it more unenjoyable. This was decent beside that.
