A lot of books claim to be for both specialist and general readers, but
unlike many others, Biodiversity II (Joseph Henry Press, £28.95, ISBN 0
309 05227 0), edited by Marjorie Reaka-Kudla and colleagues, delivers. Thirty
splendid essays by a who’s who of American biologists, written with skill and
passion. One book every biology student should have, for pleasure as well as
scholarship.
