Book
Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition / First Printing. Minor edge and corner wear, lightly scuffed and scratched, some light shelf wear, ex-library with the usual library markings, overall a clean used first edition! Very very rare and hard-to-find title! Yellow and black wrappers with black lettering. 353 informative and educational pages nicely enhanced by black and white illustrations, diagrams, and charts! Extremely scarce and out-of-print! "Just a decade ago ecology was a foreign word to most people. Today, due to the writings of Rachel Carson, Paul Ehrlich, Barry Commoner, and others, or perhaps due to the combined and sudden effects of a series of environmental degradations, ecology is a household word and has been proclaimed as an issue of the 70's. The proliferation of articles and opinions of self-appointed ecologists and groups of sincere but ill-informed citizens has created an image of ecology and ecologists which is not appealing to many of us. Many now ask: What is ecology? Are there any mutually dependent interrelationships between man and natural ecosystems? What does ecology have to offer to our great civilization? Are ecologists against progress? Must we return to the jungle? This collection of papers has been selected and arranged to offer our answers to these and other questions related to ecology, ecological systems, and man." ---- from the Preface.
