"Now in its fourth edition, this text will continue to be
recognized as a forerunner in the science of ecology; it is very
comprehensive, exploring ecological concepts with relevant field
and laboratory studies, enriched by clear examples and
illustrations."
Journal of Biological Education
“With remarkable clarity and insight, these gifted authors
lay the evolutionary foundation of the discipline and then build
the superstructure of Ecology, layer by layer. This is a complete
reworking of the earlier version, a lucid synthesis sprinkled with
clear examples. My colleagues and I have used this text to teach
ecology for more than 20 years, and not surprisingly it has been
recognized as the leading text in the field; this new version
guarantees it will remain in pole position for many years to
come.”
Peter Hudson, Pennsylvania State University
“Begon, Townsend and Harper’s Ecology has been the
cornerstone text for teaching ecology for almost two decades. Its
comprehensive breadth and depth provides details on ecological
concepts supplemented with relevant field and laboratory studies.
Ecology will remain an essential text for students and practioners
alike for many years to come.”
Michael Bonsall, Oxford University
“Ecology: From Individual, to Ecosystems is
unparalleled among ecology texts for its breadth of coverage of
contemporary ecology and for its clear presentation of even the
more complex topics. The coverage of population ecology is superb,
and the presentation of all topics is enriched both by extremely
clear illustrations and a rich use of examples of human
relationships with the environment. It should be read by all
aspiring ecologists and the professors who teach them.”
Marcel Holyoak, University of California, Davis
"...Overall, this text has continued to earn its dominance in
the market...For those for whom Essentials is too basic this
is the text to read at the next level. It's comprehensive coverage
and wide range of examples make it an essential purchase for
basic/advanced ecology education."
TENews, September 2005
Review of the previous edition
“arguably the best general textbook in ecology currently
on the market”
Animal Ecology 1999
“This monumental book is obligatory reading for all
ecologists. It has an engaging style, is user-friendly and is a
fount of information and scientific rigour. It will take population
biology, broadly defined, comfortably into the next
century.”
Journal of Ecology 1997
“The language and structure of this textbook is quite
comprehensive, making it the ideal book for undergraduates making
their first steps in ecology.”
