Encyclopedia of Islands - Encyclopedias of the Natural World
David Clague Rosemary G Gillespie
Islands have captured the imagination of scientists and the public for centuries - rare environments, their isolation makes them natural laboratories for ecology and evolution. This book examines many such insular settings - oceanic and continental islands as well as places such as caves, mountaintops, and whale falls at the bottom of the ocean.
