Both are now accepted as key components of the increasingly urgent search for sustainability at global, national, and community levels - hence the phrase 'New Frontier' in the title. While the first edition focused on ecosystems and landscapes in Europe, this new edition covers biomes and contexts all over the world. Several new chapters deal with broad issues such as biological invasions, climate change, and agricultural land abandonment as they relate to restoration science and ecological restoration. Case studies are included from Australia, North America, and the tropics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an accessible textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate level students, and early career scientists. The book also provides a solid scientific background for managers, volunteers, and mid-career professionals involved in the practice of ecological restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview of the first edition: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I suspect that this volume will find its way onto the shelves of many restoration researchers and practitioners and will be used as a key text in graduate courses, where it will help fill a large void.
