"...Michael Huston's Biological Diversity is, I think, one of the most satisfactory and certainly one of the most readable books to emerge on the scene. Perhaps its greatest advantage over texts such as that edited by Robert Ricklefs and Dolph Schluter (Species Diversity in Ecological Communities ) is that it is a single-author work, so it has a higher degree of internal consistency and structure. This makes it far more effective as an undergraduate text..."
