4.0 out of 5 stars
Easily one of the best on the topic,

This review is from: A Primer of Ecology (Paperback)
Four and one half stars.Dr. Gotelli's book is the most successful which I am familiar at "demystifying" the mathematical concepts in ecology. "A primer of ecology" is very well organized and written so as not to frighten off the uninitiated, but covers the mathematics well enough to be an adequate refresher for those that have slipped in some areas. The inclusion of ecological succession in the 3rd edition is an important addition and not merely a reason to put out a new version. I highly recommend this text to anyone who is interested in learning about ecological study, and I think it would make an excellent senior undergraduate or supplemental graduate text.

Easy to understand, but simplifies a little too much,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Primer of Ecology (Paperback)
I found this book was a really good introduction to the subject - really clearly explained and laid out, unlike some other books I have read, which start of simple and then suddenly leap off into degree-level maths! However, it does tend to simplify a little bit (would have liked a little more information on the types of discrete and continous logistics that can be used).All in all a really good book to buy to keep your feet on the ground when learning

Gotelli's work is one of the best Ecology books out there!!!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Primer of Ecology (Paperback)
I had to read Gotelli's A Primer of Ecology for my Ecology class at Brown University. I thought that it was by far the most comprehensive and easily read book used in that class. The mathematical models were always backed up with empirical evidence to several models in the field. A definate must read for all ecologists!

Great First Approach on Ecology,
By Mariela G - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Primer of Ecology (Paperback)
This book is a must for people starting to study ecology.It's short, very well written and clear, concise, not oversimplifying, and it's very nice to read. It has real life examples too. It's true it doesn't go very deep, but it gives you the perfect fundation to go deeper after it, reading Begon for example, which is a good book but gives for granted a lot of concepts. Anyone can read this book, because it starts fron absolut zero, which is the very best of it. |
