First published in 1979, Why Big Fierce Animals Are Rare has
established itself as a seminal work in ecology. Now with a new
foreword by ecologist and writer Cristina Eisenberg, this
penetrating study of ecosystems and animal populations is more
relevant than ever. What accounts for the many different species of
insect? Why does the robin population stay relatively steady year
after year, despite the fact that their nests contain several
chicks at once? Paul Colinvaux traces the ecologist's quest to
answer these questions and more in this accessibly written book. He
brings to the subject both profound knowledge and an enthusiasm
that will encourage a greater understanding of the environment and
of the efforts of those who seek to preserve it.
