Product Description
Product Description
This introductory general ecology text features a strong emphasis on helping students grasp the main concepts of ecology while keeping the presentation more applied than theoretical. An evolutionary perspective forms the foundation of the entire discussion. The book begins with the natural history of the planet, considers portions of the whole in the middle chapters, and ends with another perspective of the entire planet in the concluding chapter. Its unique organization of focusing only on several key concepts in each chapter sets it apart from the competition.

This textbook was required material for a second-year university Ecology class I took this year. Not only did I find that this textbook did absolutely nothing to supplement in-class material, but within one or two months the spine was coming apart and the pages loose. Add to this the fact that each page is littered with typos and the pages are printed on poor quality paper. Although it covers all the bases topic-wise (briefly) I wouldn't think of recommending purchasing this book, even if it is required material, especially considering the price. I've heard from classmates older editions of this book were better, but not by much.
