First and foremost, this is an absolutely beautifully designed book. You can tell that a lot of effort went not only into the content of it, but in the design and layout of it.
There are a few areas where I found it a little bit unintuitive because of how much information they were blocking out in a single page, and I think that aspect could have been designed a little bit better, but overall that was only a few areas of the content, and the design still stands heads and tails above most books.
As far as the content itself, it is a great primer and historical overview, while also introducing several really great concepts of ecology. I found it to be rather inspirational, and If you are comfortable with reading nonfiction, you can easily read it cover to cover and enjoy it that way like I did, or pick up a section here and there.
I think they did a great job designing a lot of the headlines quotes, and I like that you get a mix of the information about ecology itself, where these concepts came from, and who helped shape these concepts.
Overall, it is not going to go into extreme detail on any one subject, but there is just so much information that it goes over as a whole broad topic. You could easily take a couple of areas that you are interested in and do further reading.
