Urban Ecology is a rapidly developing area of research and study.
Drawing on the work of many disciplines-including geography,
planning, landscape architecture, sociology, economics,
anthropology, engineering, and climatology-urban ecologists argue
that an understanding of the relationships between living organisms
and their urban environment as an integrated social-ecological
system is an essential component of the decision-making and
planning needed to create viable-and sustainable-cities around the
world. Now, Ian Douglas, one of Urban Ecology's founding fathers
(and editor of Routledge's Handbook of Urban Ecology (2010), has
brought together in four volumes the canonical and the very best
cutting-edge research. The collection enables users readily to
comprehend the philosophies, theories, and history of Urban
Ecology, and make sense of the biophysical character of the urban
environment, and the diverse habitats found within it. Urban
Ecology also assembles essential works exploring how science can be
put into practice to generate significant health, economic, and
environmental benefits. With a full index, together with a
comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which
places the collected material in its historical and intellectual
context, Urban Ecology is an essential work of reference. The
collection will be particularly useful as a database allowing
scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will
also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less
familiar-and sometimes overlooked-texts. For researchers, students,
practitioners, and policy-makers, it is a vital one-stop research
and pedagogic resource.
