Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... excellent and well written book ... the second edition of Monitoring Ecological Change is the equal of the first in accessibility, clarity and comprehensiveness ... This highly technical and often complex subject matter is rendered clear and accessible ... this is a timely and useful addition to the literature. Spellerberg has managed to improve on an already impressive piece of work and I am sure it will be read, reread, and used by undergraduate and postgraduate and postgraduate students, practitioners, and fellow academics.'
