Review Quotes: "The book is an exemplar for anyone wanting to bring together a coherent edited volume that is more than the sum of the parts. . . . [T]his excellent book offers a superb collection of reflective essays on the virtues of field-based ecology and scientific natural history. But it when you get fed up poring over journals devoid of the practical challenges and essential joy of being an ecologist."-- "Bulletin of the British Ecological Society"
