"A reflection of how far the Þeld of biogeography has
come in the past two decades can be seen by comparing
the first and second editions of the popular text
Biogeography. Fifteen years after publication of the first edition by J. H. Brown and A. C. Gibson, the
second edition has been entirely rewritten. Although
it still emphasizes ecological as opposed to phylogenetic
aspects of biogeography, the text has greatly
expanded coverage of topics, reflecting new advances
in various subdisciplines of biogeography. The text is
extremely well illustrated, which greatly facilitates
uptake of the presented concepts. For a relatively
comprehensive and fascinating review of developments
in biogeography, this new text fills the bill well
and strikes a realistic balance between vicariance and
dispersalist perspectives."
Essas são palavras de James B. Whitfield, da Universidade de Arkansas. Acho que já explica um pouco sobre o livro.
