Key Benefit: This book presents the basics of environmental issues from an ecological perspective. It uses a strong framework of applied ecology as a starting point to explore specific environmental issues including habitat fragmentation, acid deposition, and the emergence of new human diseases. These topics are discussed from a scientific, rather than an activist viewpoint. Key Topics: The book provides a strong link among ecology, environmental issues, and the manner in which ecologists set about solving some of these apparent problems. It presents the science of ecology and uses that to investigate issues such as the loss of biodiversity, global warming, and other. Ecology of a Changing Planet allows the reader to focus on individual topics since each chapter is written and presented independently. The book maintains scientific objectivity by avoiding a call for political and environmental reform. Market: A valuable book for any reader interested in further exploring these important environmental topics.
