Editorial Reviews Review The list of contributing authors is imp ressive and includes most of the important researchers in plant population biolo gy and genetics. Theoretical and practical issues are well balanced. . . .This b ook also gives an appreciation of how much research on rare plants remains to be done. It contains a well-organized and concise presentation of why research, co nservation, and management are important. . .as well as practical strategies to apply existing knowledge. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in th e genetics and conservation of plant populations. --Prairie Nat. The chapters a re of consistently high quality and will interest plant conservation biologists and those seeking genetic sophistication in their reintroduction or restoration efforts. . . .Many chapters stand alone as summaries of great value to populatio n biologists interested in the causes and consequences of rarity. . . .This volu me has greatly advanced the field by crystallizing the genetic issues and provid ing a convenient and authoritative source for those practicing in the emergency.
