Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Counting Species is a compelling book, and I would recommend it for the elegance, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity of Rafi Youatt’s reflection and writing. The book contributes in interesting and original ways to all the fields that it traverses; and successfully weaves high-level theoretical engagements through thoroughly-researched empirical material." —Charlotte Epstein, University of Sydney

"This book is an intelligent and insightful analysis transcending disciplines and connecting complex structures."—Environmental Values
