The reviews in this section have been produced in 2005 although some of the reviews might refer to texts published in 2004. Click on a link to go to that review. If you want to suggest a book (or other format) to review please contact me.
Update! My latest book has just been published! In addition to the text there's an accompanying web site. This allows me to give more specialised support in biogeography. It also allows me to store (in rough form at the moment) all the old reviews that were outgrowing this website. Go here for the book website and here for old reviews.
