The administration here has a valid point. The review was certainly interesting and worth a quick read, but I have no use for the nonsense on how and where to purchase the book, regardless of whether or not I intend to get it. I think in that respect, the publisher's name is enough for me or anyone to find a local distributor should there be interest enough to make the purchase. Certainly if one is intelligent enough to operate a computer, one can pick up the telephone to call a publisher. (I hear even apes are operating these things nowadays...) On the other hand, I also agree with Mr. Clark. I think we should be posting book reviews (and information on conferences and societies) that are of interest to biologists and conservationists. I hope you will stay, Mr. Clark, and benefit with the rest of us. Rob Breeding .
