Book Overview

Marine and freshwater systems are being placed under pressure like never before. A bigger and more demanding human population has meant increased utilization of aquatic systems and, as such, the need for sustainable solutions to allow the development and conservation of these systems has become an international priority. In order to understand the limits of exploitation, an understanding is needed of the ecological principles that constrain levels of productivity and the systems' responses to exploitation pressure.

This timely book explores current exploitation practices, and the ecological basis and consequences of that exploitation. From a consideration of the ecological effects of the extraction of non-living resources, including energy and water itself, it progresses to the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms, and how these underpin the harvesting for aquatic resources. A discussion of the ecological consequences for the system of its use as a means of transport and as a repository for wastes follows, along with the increasing importance of aquatic systems for human recreational pursuits. Finally, effective management strategies for natural hazards, the provision of ecological goods and services, and restoration of aquatic systems are considered, as well as the importance of ecological science in exploitation management.

The role of science in providing an understanding of the effects of human intervention in aquatic systems is emphasized throughout, along with a consideration of the role of ecology in the sustainable management of the consequences of human activity.

Leaving for my fourth trip to Costa Rica in May....

This is my #1 favorite guidebook to Costa Rica - and I've owned quite a few. Always seemed like the book was right on, and in tune with my interests. (I'm not a backpacker, cost conscious but not overly frugal, don't like roughing it TOO much. But I don't like lookalike commercial hotel chains, and I DO like being out in nature.) This book always seemed to provide great advice. Highly recommended!

Phenomenal!

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher, as I photographed the cover art. Having lived in Costa Rica and traveled there many times, I was interested in the content and immediately set about looking through the book. I found many of my favorite hotels described exactly as they are, in such glowing detail that I find myself wanting to go back. The writing is engaging and it's clear the author knows the country...

This is the one to buy

Although originally from the US, I've lived in Costa Rica for many years. This is the guidebook I use personally and the one I recommend to friends. Not only is it very complete and up to date, but it's also well-written and enjoyable to read.

Great guide book

Christopher Baker makes this one of the most versatile guide books for Costa Rica to be found on the market! You get a lot of info for one book-historical, nature, lodging, restaurants, things to see and do -my favorite! Thanks!

THE most useful guidebook

I bought 4 guidebooks before our trip to Costa Rica, and left "Explore Costa Rica" at home because the middle section of the book had already fallen out after a few looks. "Lonely Planet" was also left at home because the reviewer didn't seem to go inside most of the restaurants and lodgings he reviewed. I took "New Key Guide" and "Moon Handbook" and rarely opened the "New Key Guide". The writers of "New Key Guide" don't...
