Recenzje

The book does an excellent job of introducing topics in a historical framework giving readers the background for the growth of thinking on the particular topic. By its nature, life-history analysis has a mathematical basis, but Hutchings provides considerable clarity on the mathematical underpinnings while keeping equations to a minimum.
