{"product_id":"understanding-biodiversity-david-zeigler-9780275994594","title":"Understanding Biodiversity","description":"The idea of biodiversity has become increasingly important for those who wish to preserve and protect the varieties of life on Earth. While most works on biodiversity look at only three components-the diversity of genes, of species, and of ecosystems-\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Biodiversity\u003c\/i\u003e examines the diversity of life in all of its manifestations. The living world is diverse in many ways. Animals and plants vary greatly in their size and shape, in their behavior, in how they reproduce, in how they sense the surrounding world. \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Biodiversity\u003c\/i\u003e argues that there are many ways in which biodiversity has an intrinsic value - for humans, and for the living world as a whole - and that biodiversity should be better understood and appreciated by everyone, not just those in the scientific community. Only through such comprehension and appreciation will we come to value and protect biodiversity more than we do now. Humanity can only gain from such an expanded view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Zeigler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275994597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275994594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.57h x 6.45w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2007 pg. 60","brand":"David Zeigler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47930648494335,"sku":"9780275994594","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1f57ca9-ba54-489b-93eb-13a2b864389a.jpg?v=1766343299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-biodiversity-david-zeigler-9780275994594","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
