Editorial Review Product Description Frigid, dark, and energy-deprived, the deep sea was long considered hostile to life. However, new sampling technologies and intense international research efforts in recent decades have revealed a remarkably rich fauna and an astonishing variety of novel habitats. These recent discoveries have changed the way we look at global biodiversity. In Deep-Sea Biodiversity, Michael Rex and Ron Etter present the first synthesis of patterns and causes of biodiversity in organisms that dwell in the vast sediment ecosystem that blankets the ocean floor. They provide the most comprehensive analysis to date of geographic variation in benthic animal abundance and biomass. The authors document geographic patterns of deep-sea species diversity and integrate potential ecological causes across scales of time and space. They also review the most recent molecular population genetic evidence to describe how and where evolutionary processes have generated the unique deep-sea fauna. Deep-Sea Biodiversity offers a new understanding of marine biodiversity that will be of general interest to ecologists and is crucial to responsible exploitation of natural resources at the deep-sea floor. |

97. Ark of the Broken Covenant: Protecting the World's Biodiversity Hotspots (Issues in Comparative Public Law) by John Charles Kunich | |

Editorial Review Product Description Blending scientific and legal expertise, Kunich proves that a devastating ecological crisis is imminent or even underway already, and that conservation law has yet to catch up with biological science. He challenges readers with a hotspots wager, arguing that he have vastly more to gain than lose by legally protecting biological hotspots, and that foregoing them in favor of the relatively minor and immediate returns arising from their devastation is both foolish and, ultimately, dangerous. Legal thought lags behind modern science in focusing on and setting priorities for global conservation. An extinction spasm is imminent, many scientists argue, due to the ongoing global devastation of biological hotspots, home to a disproportionate share of all life forms, including perhaps millions of unknown species. These hotspots have already lost 88 percent of their primary vegetation and are likely to lose much more, yet few legal measures exist to protect them. Environmental legal protections are often incomprehensive and feebly enforced. Even worse, 62 percent of all hotspots are unprotected. Kunich provides a brief history and science of extinction. He discusses the importance of saving species from extinction and analyzes the legal measures directed toward preserving biodiversity in nations that harbor hotspots. Customer Reviews (5)
Extinction can't be legal If that doesn't get your blood boiling, you're probably already extinct yourself.The last couple dozen pages in this book are the most amazing thing I've ever read as a plan to save our environment.I only hope enough people read them, before it's too late forever.
A Must Read Understanding of Bio-diversity Reviewer:Professor Richard Lester from Montgomery AL John Kunich has done it again!In this superb book, Kunich presents a fascinating and extraordinary map, guide and survival manual for protecting the worlds' endangered biodiversity.In more than any work on the market today, Kunich has written a most important and well-balanced book on this timely subject.He clearly explains how environmental neglect is destroying our quality of life and polluting us to death.His explosive, blockbuster style details the wasteful exhaustion of the world's natural resources.The issue addressed is a megaton bomb ticking.This is a must read.John Kunich's book is clearly a most intelligent, compassionate and totally understanding publication on this most important subject of universal interest.It demands our attention.If the academy had a Mount Rushmore for authorities on protecting the world's biodiversity hotspots, John Kunich would be up there.
