"[A] valuable book... Highly recommended." — Choice

"This small volume is packed with ideas, concepts, and references. It should be on the bookshelves of conservationists." — Terry L. Erwin, Quarterly Review of Biology

"This book presents an opportunity for a diverse readership to gain a new perspective about corridors and to spark new ideas of how their disciplines can participate." — Stephen N. Matthews, Landscape Ecology



"Given that habitat fragmentation is arguably the single most important human impact on the environment, a book that examines the most touted yet underexplored remediation method is long overdue, and in fact very important at a moment when so many corridors are in the planning phase." — Mary Pearl, president, Wildlife Trust Fund

"This is a thorough treatment of an important conservation tool used to counter habitat fragmentation. It is notable—and exemplary—that the authors also include considerations of ecological as well as economic and sociopolitical issues. " — Charles M. Peters, New York Botanical Garden
