As Ecology teachers ourselves we have become increasingly aware of
the lack of a single comprehensive textbook of Ecvlogy which we can
recommend unreservedly to our students. While general, review texts
are readily available in other fields, recent publications in
Ecology have tended for the most part to be small, specialised
works on single aspects of the subject. Such general texts as are
available are often rather too detailed and, in addition, tend to
be somewhat biased towards one aspect of the discipline or another
and are thus not truly balanced syntheses of current knowledge.
Ecology is, in addition, a rapidly developing subject: new
information is being gathered all the time on a variety of key
questions; new approaches and techniques open up whole new areas of
research and establish new principles. Already things have changed
radically since the early '70s and we feel there is a need for an
up to date student text that will include some of this newer
material. We have tried, therefore, to create a text that will
review all the major principles and tenets within the whole field
of Ecology, presenting the generally accepted theories and
fundamentals and reviewing carefully the evidence on which such
principles have been founded. While recent developments in
ecological thought are emphasised, we hope that these will not
dominate the material to the extent where the older-established
principles are ignored or overlooked.
