The second edition of this text has been radically redesigned
and rewritten. Each chapter starts with a list of questions,
setting out the various fundamental problems to be considered.
Interwoven with these practical problems is a clear explanation of
the underlying basic science - ecology - studied at scales ranging
from global, landscape and ecosystem, down to the population and
individual (and even their physiology and genetics). The science is
illustrated by examples from every major geographic area of the
world.
This book is aimed primarily at undergraduate students taking
courses in applied ecology, environmental science, environmental
management and natural resources management. The author has
extensive experience as a university teacher. Like his lectures,
this book is scientifically rigorous yet clear and easy to
understand.
- Draws together major topics in environmental and resource
management, usually dispersed over many separate books.
- Questions, summaries and clearly structured chapters enhance
usability.
- Emphasis on clarity and accessibility.
- Based on a proven and successful course.
