Summary: Valuable Summary
Comment: I use this book as the recommended text for both undergraduate and graduate courses in landscape ecology. It has a useful synthesis of recent trends in the field and particularly good chapters on scale, landscape metrics and disturbance. The accompanying CD has jpeg versions of most of the figures, which is handy for preparing lectures, although the quality of some of the digital images from CD (especially graphs and line charts) isn't so great. The literature review is thorough without being overwhelming, so it's a good entry point into the professional literature in most areas of landscape ecology. My main criticism is that the writing style is somewhat dense; I didn't find it easy to read from cover to cover. People looking for a cursory introduction to the field may do better to start with an alternative text. As a teaching and reference text for landscape ecology, however, I think this book is the best available.

Summary: A Must-Have for Anyone into Landscape Ecology or GIS
Comment: If the credentials of the authors didn't convince of the quality of this book, I'm not sure I can. I will say that I have read and re-read the book several times, and that it's a vital resource in our laboratory. From the various issues of scaling to what analyses do what, this book is an excellent resource of theories and technologies involved in Landscape Ecology.

Summary: Cesar Landscape
Comment: It is a good book that help us to maintain an equilibrium of the landscape when we mad some changes to it. The content will be usefull for different areas of study, maily ecology, but also here in San Luis Potosi we have a class that we call landscape ecology. This class is the architecture carrer. We got many information from the book.
