Recenzje

This book was overdue...This attempt to bring an environmental focus to the islands and the sea is an excellent place to start, a most enjoyable reading...This book delivers on its promise to document environmental changes in the Caribbean for the longue dur'ee. Undergraduates will benefit from this knowledge, while graduate students should draw inspiration toward topics that demand further research. The collaboration that these scholars undertook has paid off handsomely.
