Biodiversity - Softcover

This important book for scientists and nonscientists alike calls attention to a most urgent global problem: the rapidly accelerating loss of plant and animal species to increasing human population pressure and the demands of economic development. Based on a major conference sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and the Smithsonian Institution, "Biodiversity" creates a systematic framework for analyzing the problem and searching for possible solutions.
