Good info, but I don't think ecology is a real science.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Economy of Nature 5e (Paperback)
This is a decent textbook as an introduction to ecology. It contains alot of good information and integrates quite a bit of mathematics and graphs into the material being presented. However, I am convinced that ecology is not a real science.

This is a great general ecology text. Really great figures, colour (which always makes it more interesting!) and thorough. Ecology is a real science!

Lifesaver.,
By Kerstyn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Economy of Nature 5e (Paperback)
I admit, at first I could feel my eyeballs melting from the pedantic aura that radiated from the Economy of Nature. The text followed a simple, formulaic method of teaching: each chapter began with a generalization, usually relating chapter concepts to a current issue, before dissecting the topic from the easiest to most difficult concepts. The material was essentially mathematical based on the graphs and equations normally associated with ecology, and the section on population growth is particularly helpful if you're a bit rocky with incorporating all the rates to calculate the net growth.It was boring, boring, boring, but it was concise and saved my arse on final exams. If you're taking intro bio, I would recommend this as supplementary reading. It's definitely not as wordy as the average bio textbook, but you'll learn loads more about ecology and the math involved isn't tricky. The formulas are explained well, so even if you find it challenging you'll get the hang of it in no time. 1 of 13 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: The Economy of Nature (Paperback)
I needed to purchase my college textbooks for cheaper prices, so I turned to Amazon. The book I purchased is for ecology class at the University of Illinois. I was very impressed with the honesty of the seller in metioning the condidtion of the book. The book looks almost new but costs the same as a used book. The book arrived ahead of schedule and the seller showed concern for the customer by adding his/her contact information so I could ask questions about my order at any time.Thank you Amazon for helping me get quality books for great prices.
