This book is an outstanding introduction to ecologyJournal of Biological Education, Vol 40, No 2, Spring 2006 The writing is excellent and frequently fascinating, being full of invention and interesting examples. It is rare to find a textbook that is such a pleasure to read. Difficult concepts are introduced and explained clearly, always with a firm footing on sound scientific understanding. There has clearly been considerable care put into the text making it insightful, consistent and coherent. Dr Chris Joyce, University of Brighton, UK The holistic and non-technical approach taken in First Ecology is effective and appropriate for many introductory courses in ecology and environmental science. First Ecology is very broad in scope and ambitious in its objectives. It is also effective at weaving a diverse array of topics into a fairly cohesive text.
