Book Synopsis
Arguing that we can not make rational decisions about what it is to be protected without knowing what biodiversity is, this title offers a theoretical and conceptual exploration of the biological world and how diversity is valued. It explains the different types of biodiversity important in evolutionary theory, developmental biology, and ecology.

Trade Review
"Researchers in several different fields will benefit from the breadth of Maclaurin and Sterelny's tour of the biodiversity literature and from their often penetrating analyses. What Is Biodiversity? deserves to be widely read; if its central messages are absorbed, the level of debate about this vitally important topic will improve." - Todd Grantham, College of Charleston"
