Zanzibar --$tGlossary --$tIndex 330 $aIslands have captured the imagination of scientists and the public for centuries-unique and rare environments, their isolation makes them natural laboratories for ecology and evolution. This authoritative, alphabetically arranged reference, featuring more than 200 succinct articles by leading scientists from around the world, provides broad coverage of all the island sciences. But what exactly is an island? The volume editors define it here as any discrete habitat isolated from other habitats by inhospitable surroundings. The Encyclopedia of Islands examines many such insular settings-oceanic and continental islands as well as places such as caves, mountaintops, and whale falls at the bottom of the ocean. This essential, one-stop resource, extensively illustrated with color photographs, clear maps, and graphics will introduce island science to a wide audience and spur further research on some of the planet's most fascinating habitats. 410 0$aEncyclopedias of the natural world ;$vno. 2. 606 $aIslands 606 $aHabitat 606 $aEcology 606 $aIslands 610 $aantarctic islands. 610 $aarctic islands. 610 $aasian islands. 610 $acaribbean islands. 610 $aeaster island. 610 $aecology. 610 $aencyclopedia of the natural world. 610 $aisland biology. 610 $aisland encyclopedia. 610 $aisland fauna. 610 $aisland flora. 610 $aisland formation. 610 $aisland geography. 610 $aisland issues. 610 $aisland nature. 610 $aisland reference guide. 610 $aisland science. 610 $aislands. 610 $amarine biology. 610 $anatural science. 610 $anature. 610 $apacific islands. 610 $apolynesia. 610 $astudy of islands. 610 $avolcanic islands. 610 $aworld island. 615 0$aIslands. 615 2$aHabitat. 615 2$aEcology. 615 2$aIslands. 676 $a551.4203 701 $aGillespie$b Rosemary G.$f1957-$01516839 701 $aClague$b D.
