The ecological sciences are a diverse array of major scientific
disciplines. They grew from minor sciences, with little status in
1900, and now occupy crucial areas of research bearing on the
future of our planet. This book describes a century of growth and
development. A dramatic century-long rise in the status of
ecological knowledge was accompanied by the rise of professional
ecological organizations, the establishment of university
faculties, and the creation of government agencies advising on
conservation, natural resources, and the prevention of pollution.
Like all sciences, ecology continues to yield new findings and
surprising revelations. New technologies now address existential
challenges facing our world. This book, documenting the rise of
ecology, is an inspiring history portending an important role in
the twenty-first century. Key Features: The author is the
acknowledged authority on the history of ecology. The content is
familiar to members of the Ecological Society of America but has
not previously been assembled into a single narrative. Appropriate
for a course in the history of ecology. Provides a broad
perspective on ecology. Related Titles: Egerton, F. N. A Centennial
