Eugene Pleasants Odum was an American biologist at the University of Georgia known for his pioneering work on ecosystem ecology. He and his brother Howard T. Odum wrote the popular ecology textbook, Fundamentals of Ecology (1953).
A very special book and one for the ages. Although written several decades ago, it’s lessons couldn’t be more relevant. The focus on the cross-section of ecology and economics, managing society is entirely refreshing. We need to bring forward these ideas now if we are to protect this planet and living systems as we know them today are survive. I will go back to this many, many times. I highly recommend.
Delving into the cross section of socio-economics and ecology is brilliant. As we face new predicaments, looking to nature for answers ensures our continued understanding of new problems we will face as a society.
