Ecological Principles and Environmental Issues by Peter J. Jarvis

by Peter J. Jarvis

Ecological Principles and Environmental Issues provides an introduction to core ecology through key environmental issues such as biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, global warming and pollution.Taking a distinctive approach, Peter Jarvis starts each chapter with a case study and uses this as a springboard to present core theory, while taking care to introduce ecological principles in a logical sequence throughout the book.This book is aimed at first year students taking Ecology or Biogeography as part of Biology, Environmental Science and Geography degrees. It will also be useful for M.Sc. courses in Environmental Science and Environmental Management, for those without a background in Ecology.

By now we should have been ashamed why 'Indonesia' is mentioned in such books when the authors want to give a bad example about how the environment is (mis)managed.
