Richard’s new book is out (Publication date: 14 May 2009). Unfortunately it is an OUP book so is costly – US$61.23+ (paperpback) and US$126.07 on Amazon US, £28.45 (paperback) and £61.75 (hardback) on Amazon UK. Update: The Barnes & Noble price is cheaper – US$48.75.
Update (30 May 2009): Mail from Ng Bee Choo of Nature’s Niche:
“We have just received stock of this important ecology book. Retail Price is S$55.00 inclusive of GST.
Stock currently available at our shop at Mandai Road. It will be available at Sentosa Nature Shop next week.”
The OUP page describes the Ecology of Tropical East Asia as (amongst other things):
the first book to describe the terrestrial ecology of the entire East Asian tropics and subtropics, from southern China to western Indonesia. It deals with plants, animals, and the ecosystems they inhabit, as well as the diverse threats to their survival and the options for conservation.
This book provides the background knowledge of the region’s ecology needed by both specialists and non-specialists to put their own work into a broader context.
