Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book definitely fills a niche different from that of any [of]their work on the environment and ecology. An intense effort was made to make this a useful teaching tool, and it shows. For the many biologists... this would be excellent as a textbook or an addition to their personal libraries."
--THE QUARTERLY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY
"Well-illustrated and well-produced and the several indexes are useful and comprehensive... a useful source of material and it will provide a good introduction to an important subject area."

This review is from: Environmental Ecology, Second Edition: The Ecological Effects of Pollution, Disturbance, and Other Stresses (Paperback)
I love the book! It's full of infromation, useful ones. However, a glossary would be handy
