This clearly written, nontechnical introduction to cladistic biogeography treats earth history and biohistory as interdependent and attempts to explain patterns of plant and animal distribution through a systematic reconstruction of different groups of organisms found in similar areas. Emphasizing an historical approach, the authors cover the methodology, the applications, and the potential value of cladistic biogeography in developing a new view of the organic world.
