『Frontiers of Biogeography : New Directions in the Geography of Nature』

Mark V. Lomolino and Lawrence R. Heaney (eds.)

(2004年11月刊行,Sinauer Associates,ISBN:0878934790 [hardback] / ISBN:0878934782 [paperback] )



Y日記からの情報(Science 誌[2005年3月25日号]に書評が載っているそうな).即注文しないと.ほぼ同時に出た Mark V. Lomolino, Dov F. Sax, and James H. Brown (eds.)『Foundations of Biogeography: Classic Papers with Commentaries』(2004年,The University of Chicago Press, ISBN:0226492362 [hardback] / ISBN:0226492370 [paperback] )の姉妹本.同じく,国際生物地理学会が進めてきたプロジェクトの出力のひとつのようだ.姉妹本『Foundations of Biogeography』が生物地理学の「過去の歴史」をたどったのに対し,この本『Frontiers of Biogeography』は生物地理学の「最前線」を見ようということだろう.なお,『Frontiers』は400ページ強の厚さなので,“兇器度”からいえば,1300ページもある『Foundations』の方が3倍アブナイはず.
