The Ecology Book

Food webs, population dynamics, biodiversity loss and climate pressure are traced through the scientists who first described them. Part of the Big Ideas series, the volume explains ecological concepts with infographics and short entries, then places each one in the history of the field, from early natural history to present-day sustainability debate. Connections between ideas are drawn openly, so the science reads as a developing argument. What sets the tone: • Core ecological concepts explained in accessible language • Infographics that make systems and cycles visible • Accounts of the researchers and movements behind the field • Discussion of conservation and environmental pressure Environmental science students, teachers and readers following climate debate will find this DK Publishing volume at Boipoka.
