Both are now accepted as key components of the increasingly urgent search for sustainability at global, national, and community levels  hence the phrase ''New Frontier'' in the title. While the first edition focused on ecosystems and landscapes in Europe, this new edition covers biomes and contexts all over the world. Several new chapters deal with broad issues such as biological invasions, climate change, and agricultural land abandonment as they relate to restoration science and ecological restoration. Case studies are included from Australia, North America, and the tropics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an access\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Overall, I think that this book makes a genuinely useful contribution to the fields of scaling and governance and would highly recommend it as reading for those who are grappling with similar issues.”  (\u003ci\u003eRestoration Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 March 2015)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“As well as being a useful text for university students, the book – particularly those chapters summarising recent thinking on ecological topics relevant to restoration ecology – will be valuable to those already in the field.”  (\u003ci\u003eEcological Management \u0026amp; Restoration\u003c\/i\u003e, 22 January 2014)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Not a ‘‘how-to’’ book, but a fine overview of many of the conceptual and interdisciplinary issues involved, and biome-specific overviews that are still European in emphasis, but now more global in scope.”  (\u003ci\u003eRestoration Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 July 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“The text has now been enlarged, enhanced and updated, and the sub-title \u003ci\u003eThe New Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e added to promote ecological restoration as the best bridge available to reconcile the opposing imperatives of nature conservation and economic development...All of these texts do an excellent job presenting the complexities of restoring nature, which brings together many disciplines and requires an understanding of the both ecological principles.
