|  Conservation Biology: Foundations, Concepts, Applications Van Dyke's Conservation Biology, First Edition takes a contemporary and interdisciplinary approach to modern Conservation Biology, emphasizing the primary research and literature, and theoretical scientific foundations of conservation, combined with actual conservation case histories and vivid illustrations. The text is designed for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students as a one-semester course."This is a splendid book, and an extremely important contribution to the field of conservation biology." John Fitzpatrick, Director Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology "By weaving the strands of past, present, and future, Van Dyke has presented a book that brings students into the discipline of conservation biology and shows them things that are working, things that are not, and ways they can become a part of the solution. In a world in which biodiversity loss is so significant as to warrant the life efforts of thousands of researchers, writers, and ordinary citizens, Van Dyke maintains a text that empowers students, giving them nuance, thought, skills, and direction that they can take as they join their older colleagues as conservation professionals." Dorothy Boorse, Gordon College, taken from her review of Van Dyke's text in the June 2005 issue of Restoration Ecology.
