Large Carnivores and the Conservation of Biodiversity
"The tension in this summary of the ecology of large carnivores is between the ecologists wishing to understand the role of large carnivores in ecosystems and the conservation biologists wishing to use these charismatic chaps for saving biodiversity. Both viewpoints and their intertwined interactions are brought together in an excellent manner here. You cannot help but to be carried away by the enthusiasm shown by these biologists for both goals. A top score to all the authors!" --Charles J. Krebs
