    In this book, contributors from diverse backgrounds take a first step toward an integrated view of reefs and the significance of their recent decline. More than any other earth system, coral reefs sit at a disciplinary crossroads. Most recently, they have reached another crossroads – fundamental changes in their bio-physical structure greater than those of previous centuries or even millennia. Effective strategies to mitigate recent trends will require an approach that embraces the myriad perspectives from across the scientific landscape, but will also need a mechanism to transform scientific understanding into social will and political implementation.

    “I find this to be a very valuable addition to the literature and consistent with the other high quality volumes in the series. … This is a timely book on a subject of great importance for understanding one of the most ecologically, economically, and culturally valuable ecosystems on Earth that are truly at a ‘crossroads.’”(Robert H. Richmond, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 93 (02), June, 2018) “In 300 pages and 12 chapters, the multiple authors of this volume describe in great detail why coral reefs are indeed at a crossroad. … As the volume covers a wide range of issues, this book will be useful not only to professional researchers, but even to lay readers with an interest in coralreefs. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, professionals, and general readers.” (L. T. Spencer, Choice, Vol. 54 (7), March, 2017)
