Brilliant text--but not substantially different than the second edition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Biogeography, Third Edition, is a beautiful new edition of a classic, but one that I suspect was encouraged by the publisher to sell more books rather than make much needed corrections and updates to the text. I certainly hope that the binding on this edition holds up a bit better than the second edition. Brown and Lomolino's Biogeography is THE authoritative introductory text in this field. I suppose if you can't lay your hands on a cheap used copy of the second edition, or want a pristine new copy for posterity, you can't go wrong by purchasing this book.
An excellent introductory approach to Biogeography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book written by some of the best authors known in the field comprises a quite extensive overall view of biogeography, its fundaments, beginnings, divisions, schools and relatively new applications and inner relations with other sciences.It contains also a copy of the original zoogeographic regions map created by Wallace. This book resembles the whole biogeography curse taught in the Faculty of Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, UNAM. which is quite exceptional and has the best scientists-profesors in Latin America. If you are looking for a "has it all" biogeography book this one is a must have for undergraduates and graduates students interested in comparative biology, systematics and distributions of taxa within time and space. The review has only four stars for strictly brand new additions of up to date biogeographical information are not included in this edition, yet, but for a three year old book it is a minor problem.
