Recenzii
From
the
reviews:
“Another addition to Springer’s range of mammoth tomes addressing important fields across the sciences, this covers the geology, biotic composition and physical geography of coral reefs around the world though 260 fully referenced entries. … Presented largely from the perspective of earth sciences, this will … prove to be a valuable reference for biogeographers working in these systems.” (Frontiers of Biogeography, Vol. 5 (3), 2013)
“The Encyclopedia of Modern Coral Reefs is one of those exceptional scholarly works that is bound to make a lasting impression on the existing literature. … researchers from other relevant disciplines would undoubtedly find it of use. … This is a remarkable addition to the literature on coral reefs … . a sound investment for libraries which cater for students and researchers of marine science and other related disciplines.” (Anna Franca, Reference Reviews, Vol. 25 (8), 2011)
Endorsements:
My feeling is that this single book is the best compilation on coral reefs ever written, and it will be many years, if ever, before another book like this is published. I for one appreciate having my best references both in book and electronic form, and I appreciate the efforts of Springer to continue to produce important publications in book format.Jim Maragos
The book is truly outstanding! What a magnificent and well-assembled compilation of what clearly represent the best up-to-date summaries of significant, decades-scale bodies of work on global coral reefs, on old and new technologies employed, and on the early grandfathers of reef research. I fully expect that the volume will quickly fit well into the realm of classic literature on reefs, past and present.Barbara Lidz

His

research
into

to
his

Experience
with
coral

extends
to

Coral
reefs
are
the
largest
landforms
built
by
plants
and
animals.
Their
study
therefore
incorporates
a
wide
range
of
disciplines.
This
encyclopedia
approaches
coral
reefs
from
an
earth
science
perspective,
concentrating
especially
on
modern
reefs.
Currently
coral
reefs
are
under
high
stress,
most
prominently
from
climate
change
with
changes
to
water
temperature,
sea
level
and
ocean
acidification
particularly
damaging.
Modern
reefs
have
evolved
through
the
massive
environmental
changes
of
the
Quaternary
with
long
periods
of
exposure
during
glacially
lowered
sea
level
periods
and
short
periods
of
interglacial
growth.
The
entries
in
this
encyclopedia
condense
the
large
amount
of
work
carried
out
since
Charles
Darwin
first
attempted
to
understand
reef
evolution.
Leading
authorities
from
many
countries
have
contributed
to
the
entries
covering
areas
of
geology,
geography
and
ecology,
providing
comprehensive
access
to
the
most
up-to-date
research
on
the
structure,
form
and
processes
operating
on
Quaternary
coral
reefs.
