For the first time one book presents both population ecology and ecosystem dynamics in one easily accessible format. It is hoped that this text will lead to a new generation of ecologists who can integrate these two approaches to ecological systems for a richer understanding. --Stefan A.

Sommer, Idaho State University The authors have done a fine job with a tough topic. --William H. Gilbert, Simpson College Gurney and Nisbet take you into the outback, teach you the ways of the wild, and walk you deep into the jungle of analytical modeling, at the same time coaching you in the skills necessary to survive. . . . Analytical modeling forms the backbone in any course in ecological modeling and I cannot think of another text that covers so much material in such rich detail. Anyone interested in grasping these classes of models need look no further. It would make an excellent text for a graduate, or advanced undergraduate class in modeling or population biology. . . . I suspect this is a book that will be pulled from my shelf often, becoming dog-eared and worn from use. Gurney and Nisbet are to be applauded for providing a valuable resource. --Ecology Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
