Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "Tewkesbury Walks is a well-written, pithy, and introspective volume on the history of biogeography and the foundations of evolution. ... volume is divided into eight essays, each of which contains a guided walk through the country areas in and around Tewkesbury ... . The essays fill an important niche, namely the personal commentary of a practicing biogeographer and are aimed at both a popular and a scientific audience. ... I highly recommend Tewkesbury Walks to the readers of Systematic Biology." (Malte C. Ebach, Systematic Biology, Vol. 63 (3), May, 2014)
