Win-Win Ecology: How the Earth's Species Can Survive in the Midst of Human Enterprise

Author: Michael L Rosenzweig

Publisher: Oxford University Press

Publication date: 2003

Reviewer: Gretchen C Daily

EN

The book is a wonderful source of motivation and inspiration, entertaining and thought-provoking for lay and professional audiences alike. Even the most sceptical readers will likely be convinced of the need to rethink conservation strategy. The author paints a broad-brush vision for a future world in which humans and biodiversity coexist. But we are left wondering how possibly to implement it."
