{"product_id":"threatened-and-recently-extinct-vertebrates-matthew-richardson-9781108495868","title":"Threatened and Recently Extinct Vertebrates of the World: A Biogeographic Approach","description":"Habitat loss and degradation are currently the main anthropogenic causes of species extinctions. The root cause is human overpopulation. This unique volume provides, for the very first time, a comprehensive overview of all threatened and recently extinct mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes within the context of their locations and habitats. The approach takes a systematic examination of each biogeographic realm and region of the world, both terrestrial and marine, but with a particular emphasis on geographic features such as mountains, islands, and coral reefs. It reveals patterns useful in biodiversity conservation, helps to put it all into perspective, and ultimately serves as both a baseline from which to compare subsequent developments as well as a standardization of the way threatened species are studied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108495869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108495868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.87h x 8.35w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023","brand":"Matthew Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44122497974527,"sku":"9781108495868","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_568401f6-8b27-4cd0-91b4-a5b64a2fb939.jpg?v=1687425461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/threatened-and-recently-extinct-vertebrates-matthew-richardson-9781108495868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
