This new text … provides information on the very topical
subject of sustainability and further shows how ecological theories
and techniques can be applied to conservation and management
decisions … I have been reorganizing my course to more
closely follow the structure laid out in this book because I think
it is a logical way to teach ecology.” Dr Bethan Wood,
University of Glasgow
“I like the organization of the book … I also like
how Townsend has emphasized the applied aspects and placed the
ecological basics in “boxes.” Realistically, as
Townsend states, if a student only takes one ecology course, it
should be one that emphasizes applied ecology. What a great and
long-overdue approach.” Dr James Houpis, California State
University, Chico
“This is the first textbook that I have read with an organization that emphasizes the contemporary application of major conceptual paradigms in ecology … This textbook provides all that is needed in teaching undergraduate students the essential relationship linking ecological theory with natural resource management.” Dr Eric Dibble, Mississippi State University
