Complex Population Dynamics by Peter Turchin
By bringing together mathematical models, statistical analyses, and field experiments, this book offers a comprehensive synthesis of the theory of population oscillations. It first reviews the conceptual tools that ecologists use to investigate population oscillations and then provides an in-depth discussion of several case studies.-

"Turchin has to be congratulated for the conceptual clarity of the book.. I especially recommend the book's first two parts to anyone interested in how to model and analyze population fluctuations... Turchin offers researchers and students alike interesting material and a great deal to think about."--Esa Ranta, Science "This book contributes profoundly to the literature... [It] may have a huge impact on the field."--Nils Chr. Stenseth, Nature "A superbly written text offering many fresh insights both pragmatic and profound... Throughout the book, Turchin manages to present complex material in an informal style with clarity and eloquence."--Douglas H. Deutschman, Ecology
