Readership: Beginning undergraduates in the life sciences either majoring in ecology or studying ecology as a stand-alone unit on a range of courses, including those that assume little scientific background.
Alan Beeby, Reader in Ecology in the Department of Applied Science, London South Bank University, UK, and Anne-Maria Brennan, Deputy Head of the Department of Applied Science, London South Bank University, UK
"It will undoubtedly continue to appeal to students as a reasonably priced, clear introduction to many important aspects of ecology and environmental studies. " - Bulletin of the British Ecological Society
"This well written text begins with human evolution, and then leads on through species and populations (single or interacting) to communities and ecosystems - and the way they respond to disturbance, natural or human created. The book is notable for the skilful way it weaves together basic concepts with practical applications." - Lord Robert May, University of Oxford
