Article Excerpt
Geodiversity--Valuing and Conserving Abiotic Nature
by Murray Gray, Wiley, 2004, xiii + 434 pp., cloth US$207.99 (ISBN 0-470-84895)
The term 'geodiversity' is unfamiliar to many, perhaps, but its obvious similarity to the ubiquitous 'biodiversity' allows instant comprehension of its meaning, and the objectives of those using it. In this comprehensive book, Murray Gray sets himself an ambitious task of convincing the reader that geodiversity has as important a role in conservation as biodiversity.

He goes further in trying to convince the reader of the need for a 'more holistic approach to nature conservation and land management', and proposes his vision for the future.
