"Restoration is a keystone strategy for conserving biodiversity, and ecology has matured into a central discipline of the biological sciences. This important work shows us that their synergy offers new hope for the future of life on Earth."
— Edward O. Wilson, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
"Humanity has damaged more than half the land surface on Earth, making restoration an essential tool to preserve biodiversity. It is also the ultimate test of whether we scientists know enough to do the job. There is no better place to find out than inside this book."
— Stuart Pimm, Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology, Duke University
"This volume explores classical ecological theory from a perspective that identifies optimal strategies behind the practical application of restoration ecology in the near future. The editors and authors have produced a paragon of sustainability science."
— Jelte van Andel, Professor of plant ecology, University of Gronigen, The Netherlands
"This is a comprehensive synthesis of the conceptual basis of the field of restoration ecology. With contributions by leading theoretical ecologists as well as by recognized restoration ecologists, it covers the range of hierarchies from population genetics to macroecology."
— Edith B. Allen, Professor, Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, UC, Riverside
"The publication of this book is an important event, a coming-of-age of restoration—it's an indispensable key to the survival and well-being of classic ecosystems, setting the context for basic ecological research. A rich trove of ecological theory in productive and provocative dialogue with restoration practice."
— William R. Jordan III, Director, New Academy and DePaul University Institute for Nature and Culture
