From the reviews: "This is the tenth volume in the Springer Landscape Series, the purpose of which is to provide a forum for dealing with the complexity of landscapes worldwide. ... The text may actually be of greater use to someone working in environmental policy who may need a broad perspective. ... it is most certainly a valuable broad-scale reference." (Brian C. McCarthy, Landscape Ecology, Vol. 26, 2011)
