Product Description
Unique and accessible, this book offers a novel approach to learning ecology. Emphasizing the "big picture", it concentrates on the ideas and techniques that separate six different approaches to the study of ecology, focusing on the kinds of questions ecologists ask about their world. It discusses the history of ecology and also enables readers to apply concepts to new organisms, locations, or applications.

 A fine and readable survey of academic ecology November 19, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book presents a survey of the academic subdivisions of the science of ecology. Gives some general information and then a chapter on each of 6 different specializations in the science, viz., landscape, ecosystem, physiological, behavioral, population and community ecology, written by pofessional ecologists. Especially valuable for someone wishing to study ecology in school who wonders what exactly the various subfields deal with and consist of. Also enjoyable for anyone wanting to learn about the aims, problems, approaches and results of ecology as an academic endeavor. Includes sections on how the subfields are linked together. Includes a glossary and many references.

Studying EE
I really like the way they organize this book. For me, a environmental management study person, this book gives a very clear sketch of Ecology. It also very good to read articles from so many good ecologist from diferent angles. I strongly recommand this book to those who want to know what have been discussed and covered in the subject of Ecology, and how we can link these ideas and knowledge to our life or other studies.

What a terrible book - not only is it difficult to read - but missing much of common Ecology viewpoints and basics. Worthless, absolutely worthless - anyone want to by mine - cost of postage. If not, I'll just burn it.
