Ecological Restoration
'The paradigm has shifted. While many mid-career conservation biologists cut their teeth on the notion of saving pristine ecosystems, we now know that there are few remaining pristine environments. Instead the future for many ecosystems lies in reclamation and restoration, and Sue Galatowitsch's new book points the way. Divided into restoration processes, approaches,and case studies, this book not only shows the way but boosts morale as the 19 case studies show spectacular results of restorations from ecosystems around the world. This book will provide perspective and background for researchers and the basis for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses for students interested in healing a broken earth.' -Michael J. Lannoo, The Iowa Lakeside Lab 'This book will be useful to teachers and students of restoration in educational programs at all levels. It is also a worthwhile addition to the personal library of any practitioner or researcher who would like to have an accessible overview of the current state of this field.' - Carla P. Catterall, Restoration Ecology
