This guide describes, in pictures and words, all the different types of acacia trees that are such a distinctive feature of the Kenyan landscape. It shows both floral and vegetative characteristics - bark, leaves, pods, seeds - so that identification can easily be made even when the trees arenot in flower. This will be a valuable companion to anyone visiting or living in East Africa, and also to professional botanists, foresters, and ecologists. There are forty-four species of acacia in Kenya, out of twelve-hundred species globally, but they are of particular interest because they are both used by the local people and eaten by the wildlife. Acacias are also suited to commercial farming in arid conditions, which may be important if warmingtrends continue. The authors provide clear explanations of botanical terms, detailed field keys, and instructions for using the keys. No previous knowledge of plant sciences is required to enjoy this authoritative guide.

This book, Pure and Applied Biogeography, gives a very interesting report and overview about the frontiers of such parts of recent biogeographical research, which plays important roles in solving our most pressing global problems (biodiversity crisis, climate change, water issues, and sustainable agriculture). Our book consists of three sections: "Introduction", "Pure Biogeography and Global Patterns" and "Applied Biogeography and Regional Issues." After the introductory chapter, which is about the main branches and aims of biogeography in service of solving global problems, - we can find three chapters as parts of the first section. First chapter in this section is in close relation with the origin of biodiversity and conservation. The second and third chapters are about the biogeograhical aspects of climate change and biodiversity. In the second section of this book three applied biogeographical chapters can be found, which are related to agriculture, theoretical background of biological plant protection against herbivores, and regional patterns in ecological biogeography.
