Synopsis
In this volume, the authors discuss what practical contributions ecology can and can't make in applied science and environmental problem solving. In the first section, they discuss conceptual problems that have often prevented the formulation and evaluation of powerful, precise, general theories, explain why island biogeography is still beset with controversy and examine the ways that science is value laden. In the second section, they describe how ecology can give us specific answers to practical environmental questions posed in individual case studies, and argue for a new way to look at scientific error. A case study using the Florida panther is examined in the light of these findings.

Book Description
Although conceptual problems have often prevented the formulation and evaluation of theories, this text reveals how ecology can provide us with specific answers to practical environmental questions. A case study using the Florida panther is accordingly examined.
Review
"This book is a great achievement and should be read by everyone interested in ecology, environmental ethics, and environmental law. If we could assume familiarity with the claims and arguments in this book, the level of public debate about environmental policy would be significantly improved." Ethics
"...a timely book that will enliven many graduate seminars." R.H. Peters, Quarterly Review of Biology
