Theoretical Ecology: Principles and Applications (Second edition)

489 pages. Thoroughly illustrated with ecological graphs. 'The first edition of 'Theoretical Ecology' sold widely to both students and research workers. A major appeal was the clear presentation of many new ideas, and to maintain this feature Professor May and his distinguished team of co-authors have produced a second edition to cover the latest developments in theoretical ecology and to give a basis for further advances. Changes include the addition of new chapters on plant biology, parasitology and bioeconomics, and a complete revision of most remaining material. Ecologists with little training in mathematics will have no difficulty in using this concisely written and carefully edited text'--from back cover. Second edition. A very good paperback with a slight bump to the spine tail. Binding is tight and spine is straight. A very nice copy.
