In the decade since the last edition of this classic text, vast changes have occurred in the ecological landscape. There is increased awareness of the importance of scale, the role of disturbance, the necessity for conservation, the potential for restoration, and the power of genetics in understanding relationships among organisms. Building on traditional foundations--evolution and adaptation, energy flow, population and community interactions, and behavioral ecology--the new edition of Ecology emphasizes modern concepts and approaches to present an accessible and comprehensive treatment of the field of ecology.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A "must have" text for ecology,
This review is from: Ecology (Hardcover)
An excellent book for the principles of ecology, especially community and population ecology. Provides an introduction to all the basic concepts in ecology and reviews all the milestone studies in the field. Further, it indicates recent trends in research in the field. The language has been kept simple and equations listed are explained very well. Graphs, pictures and diagrams support the the text and useful in enlightening the reader on key concepts. I would say that it is currently the best text book available in ecology for students and ecologists

This review is from: Ecology (Hardcover)
I was taught from the first edition of this book by the author himself a few decades ago. Even more-so now than then, the book actually reads well and can be grasped by the non-scientist with a biological bent.Ecology covers the complex interactions between organisms and their environment. It explains why things are as they are in nature with illustrative cases and a quantitative approach to their analysis. How glad I was to find this updated version of an old favorite.
