Ecology by William Bowman
Ecology is an easy-to-read and well-organized text for instructors and students to explore the basics and promote ecological literacy. Ecology, sixth edition, introduces readers to the beauty of nature and the importance of ecology and provides content in a way that engages students without overwhelming them in the process. The authors motivate students with an engaging case study conceptual approach that highlights relevant applications and data-driven examples.
The chapters follow a logical story line with useful case studies and review material extremely helpful to students at different stages of learning and developmentIt will challenge students, yet provide a framework for understanding the material." - William Hintz, The University of Toledo
I think the most compelling features are the comprehensive nature of the text, as well as the online resources for "new" professors." - Geoffrey Cook, University of Central Florida
This ecology textbook edition builds upon rich examples, and current literature. It is also provides multiple tools to engage students and enhance their understanding of important topics." -Tim Tibbetts, Monmouth College

He earned his Ph.D. from Duke University. Dr. Bowman has taught courses in introductory ecology, plant ecology, plant-soil interactions, and ecosystems ecology, and for over three decades he directed undergraduate summer field courses and research programs. His research focuses on the intersections of physiological ecology, community dynamics, and ecosystem function, particularly in the context of environmental change. Sally D. Hacker is a Professor at Oregon State University, Corvallis, where she has been a faculty member since 2004. She has taught courses in introductory ecology, community ecology, and marine biology. She is particularly interested in promoting active and experiential learning for students interested in ecology and field experiences. Dr. Hacker's research explores the structure, function, and services of natural and managed ecosystems under varying contexts of species interactions and global change. She has conducted research with plants and animals in rocky intertidal, estuarine, and coastal dune ecosystems. Her work has most recently focused on the protective role of coastal ecosystems in mitigating the vulnerability from climate change.
