Practical Field Ecology by C Philip Wheater
This book introduces experimental design and data analysis as well as field monitoring skills for both plants and animals. Written in a student-friendly manner, the book concentrates on the techniques required to design a field-based ecological survey and shows how to execute an appropriate sampling regime.
I would certainly recommend this book to be used as a textbook for students undertaking higher level VET (Vocational EducationTraining) Certificates and Diplomas, as well as applications for first and second year levels of university(Austral Ecology, 1 October 2013) This will be a great boom to tutors on residential field courses or lecturers supervising student projects as a part of degree courses, particularly those concerned with animal ecology, though there is much sound advice for those working on other groups of organisms. (Biodiversity and Conservation, 1 October 2012) With all the points above in mind, I know that I will make this book available to all my students. In fact, having read it, I can now even answer questions about slurp guns. (African Journal of Range & Forage Science, 1 November 2012) It is very informative and its 606 pages are a real bargain for GBP45.00. ( British Ecological Society Bulletin, 1 August 2012) "Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students." (Choice, 1 January 2012) "The book is very well structured and takes the reader through the entire process of carrying out an ecological research project in clear and logically ordered sections ... The book contains a huge amount of information which is presented in a highly accessible way, with clear illustrations and case studies throughout." (Elsevier's Biological Conservation, 1 January 2012) "I highly recommend the very thorough and approachable book Practical Field Ecology: A Project Guide by C. Philip Wheater, James R. Bell, and Penny A. Cook, to any students, researchers, ecologists, business people, and policy makers who are seeking a very well grounded guide to planning, executing, measuring, and reporting on any ecological project. This book provides the tools necessary to provide scientifically sound information for informed decision making in any ecology related field." (Blog Business World, 19 November 2011)
