An increasing variety of biological problems involving resource  management, conservation and environmental quality have been dealt  with using the principles of population biology (defined to include  population dynamics, genetics and certain aspects of community  ecology). There appears to be a mixed record of successes and failures  and almost no critical synthesis or reviews that have attempted to  discuss the reasons and ways in which population biology, with its  remarkable theoretical as well as experimental advances, could find  more useful application in agriculture, forestry, fishery, medicine  and resource and environmental management.   This book provides examples of state-of-the-art applications by a  distinguished group of researchers in several fields. The diversity of  topics richly illustrates the scientific and economic breadth of their  discussions as well as epistemological and comparative analyses by the  authors and editors. Several principles and common themes are  emphasized and both strengths and potential sources of uncertainty in  applications are discussed.   This volume will hopefully stimulate new interdisciplinary avenues of  problem-solving research.
