内容説明

Completely revised and updated, Biogeography, Second Edition , summarises the diverse approaches to the study of the distributions of living things. Starting from simple facts and principles, and assuming only minimal knowledge of biology, geography and earth history, the books explains the relationships between patterns of plant and animal distributions and the processes that have produced them.
