The Ecological World View Kindle Edition

by Charles Krebs (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

11

See all formats and editions

This new textbook fills an important niche by offering a lively overview of the principles of ecology for a broad range of university-level science and biology courses. Written for those who need to understand key ecological concepts but may specialise in other fields, it is filled with many vivid examples of topical issues and current events.

The Ecological World View briefly covers the history of ecology and describes the general approach of the scientific method, then takes a wide-ranging look at basic principles of population dynamics and applies them to everyday practical problems.

Each chapter clearly presents key concepts and learning objectives, combined with thought-provoking, open-ended questions to facilitate discussion. Stimulating, appealing and written in non-technical language, this is an essential resource for understanding how the ecological world works.

The New Ecology Norm

Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2009

Ok, so maybe I'm a eco nerd. I bought this book when I didn't have to for a class. This book is the 'New Ecology' standard and should be taught to all high school and college students. It's the best up to date text on ecologies part in the scenerio of our place on earth and the relationship between organisms and the environment.

In college Charles Krebs wrote the definitive book on Ecology. One couldn't go wrong with it. Krebs' grad student Barry Keller was my grad school prof and so he reinforced the Krebs supremacy. I am using it for my AP environmental sci course and it still is a GREAT resource
