Published on behalf of the Standing Conference on Library Materials on Africa (SCOLMA)--an association of academic & other libraries concerned with & actively collecting African studies material--this work contains details of some 4,000 theses accepted by the Universities in the United Kingdom & Ireland between 1976 & 1988, & provides a continuation of SCOLMA's THESES ON AFRICA 1963-1975. Theses listed cover all regions of Africa & all subjects, including fields such as Egyptology & Roman & Christian North Africa, usually regarded as falling outside the current scope of African studies. Contents are arranged by country, region, & subject. Author & subject indexes are also provided for greater accessibility.

Biodiversity and its conservation are among the main global topics in science and politics and perhaps the major challenge for the present and coming generations. This book written by international experts from different disciplines comprises general chapters on diversity and its measurement, human impacts on biodiversity hotspots on a global scale, human diversity itself and various geographic regions exhibiting high levels of diversity. The areas covered range from genetics and taxonomy to evolutionary biology, biogeography and the social sciences. In addition to the classic hotspots in the tropics, the book also highlights various other ecosystems harbouring unique species communities including coral reefs and the Southern Ocean. The approach taken considers, but is not limited to, the original hotspot definition sensu stricto and presents a chapter introducing the 35th hotspot, the forests of East Australia. While, due to a bias in data availability, the majority of contributions on particular taxa deal with vertebrates and plants, some also deal with the less-studied invertebrates. This book will be essential reading for anyone involved with biodiversity, particularly researchers and practitioners in the fields of conservation biology, ecology and evolution.
