These are concerned with diverse aspects of biodiversity and conservation, including historical works on different types of institutions, climate change and palaeobiology, global health and sustainability, ecology, restoration, community involvement, animal behaviour, utilization, and regional studies. This is the eighth of a series of cumulative book reviews and notices, based on works submitted by the publishers, which generally appear annually in the journal.
