An introduction to the various topics studied in Ecology, with some interesting facts and observations on methodology. Interesting enough, but feels somewhat fragmented, without an overriding theme. Still, not like I have other Ecology textbooks to compare against.

I didn't read this book cover to cover since it was for class. I read the majority of it though. Interesting book, I enjoyed the subject matter. I did however find the graphs confusing and some of the mathematical equations were pretty complicated. For the most part the science, nature, and ecology parts of the book were simplified and interesting.
