Abstract
  • Deciding which textbook to assign to students is often a very difficult decision. A textbook should offer more than just a synthesis of information, it should inspire curiosity, cause one to reflect, and provide a framework for making decisions. Most reviews reflect a single opinion, sometimes based on personal preferences. What is missing from most reviews is an assessment of how a book affected students. We approach this book review differently. We present separate reviews by the instructors and the students participating in a graduate seminar on Fish Conservation. The class format was a mixture of guest lecturers and group discussion. Students were required to write critical comments about each chapter of the book. They understood that they would be co-authors on this review and critical assessment was necessary. The presumption is that similarities between two reviews suggest consensus, but that differences reflect honest differences of opinion as well as differences in background and experience.
