Ecological Vignettes (Paperback)

Written by well known ecologist, Eugene Odum, this book presents basic ecological principles in a series of vignettes, covering such subjects as population growth, consumption of our natural resources, and resource management. Drawing upon essays written during a forty-year career as an instructor, researcher, and ecologist, Odum introduces new terminology in an unassuming and non-condescending manner. This book is invaluable not only for the student and scientist, but also for the general interest reader.
