Foundations of Biogeography, an international and interdisciplinary
team of distinguished biogeographers have compiled the foundational publications
in this field from the 1700s to 1975, and through original commentary
provide a context for the continued relevance of this research. This
book was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2004. The
book may be purchased at the University of Chicago's website (http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/15840.ctl)
