Description:
"Peter Vitousek is tied closely to the 'āina--the land--of Hawaii, both by birth and by the successful scientific career he has nurtured over the past two decades. His personal, and sometimes passionate, presentation sweeps across habitats, across phyla and across disciplines. It is an authoritative account of his research and his vision."--David M. Karl, University of Hawaii
