{"product_id":"topics-in-conservation-biology-tony-povilitis-9789535105404","title":"Topics in Conservation Biology","description":"Conservation biology is called a \"crisis discipline.\" In a world undergoing rapid change, this science informs us about research, technologies, management practices, and policies that can help protect the earth's naturally-occurring biological diversity. The six chapters of this book provide insightful analysis on managing protected areas (Middle East), conserving biochemical and genetic diversity of carob tree (Tunisia) and wild pear (Japan), determining the health status of Amazon manatee, manipulating sex ratios to benefit wildlife, and narrowing the gap between religion and conservation. The authors approach threats to biological diversity from varied angles, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the field. This book offers room for reflection on the definition and utility of the word 'natural' on a planet now overwhelmingly dominated by people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Povilitis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 953510540X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789535105404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intechopen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Tony Povilitis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089173917951,"sku":"9789535105404","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60340dd6-b81d-4bf0-964e-a2540fbd185d.jpg?v=1769108612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/topics-in-conservation-biology-tony-povilitis-9789535105404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
