『Panbiogeography: Tracking the History of Life』

Robin C. Craw, John R. Grehan, and Michael J. Heads

見出しをざっと見た感じでは、「意外にイケるかも」という感触です。かつて、Leon Croizat の著作群に痛めつけられた私から見れば、本書は「天国」ですね。そのまま"涅槃"にとどまれるかどうかは、読んでみなければわかりませんが。汎生物地理学ははじめてという読者には、実例が数多く含まれるこの本はたいへん重宝すると思います。一連の特殊なキーワードの説明を知るだけでも役に立つでしょう。一方で、Croizat の著作を手にとる人が今まで以上に少なくなるのではと私は危惧します。［2000年1月14日記／2014年4月14日改］
