Summary:

"This would be a primer on the topic of ecological restoration, written in straightforward accessible language that educated nonexperts can understand. The book would emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the discipline and the need for restorationists to have a working knowledge of everything from ecosystem functioning to project management expertise to public policy and outreach. The beauty of this primer is its straightforward coverage of each relevant topic and suggestions for follow-up readings should a student or class instructor wish to delve further into particular areas"-- Provided by publisher.
