Review Index 2008

This page is the main index for the year. Items are noted when they arrive, when they have been first reviewed and as reference for later. The selection process is comprehensive (see criteria for a fuller discussion). If you know of anything that I've missed that would be of interest to others, please let me know.

Update: Belated Christmas and New Year's Greetings. I was about to file the final review and update the site and the power supply unit blew on the computer! Just back online. I will get a new page organised soon. I also want to switch format and redesign. Please be patient during alterations!!

Update 2: there are still some issues to be resolved. Just to help, new books received are:

  • Cain et al. Ecology
  • Cockell. Earth-Life systems
  • Ebert-May and Hodder.Pathways to Scientific Teaching.
  • Gregory et al. Environmental Science.
  • Gotelli. Primer of Ecology. 2e.
  • Hassell. Coastal Systems
  • Krebs. Ecological World View.
  • Laity. Deserts and Desert Environments.
