Population Biology of Plants

Population Biology of Plants defines a science of population biology for plants and other fixed organisms. The author describes the processes that determine the number of plants (and the number of plant parts), examines the separate stages in a general model of population behavior, the ways in which individual plants interfere with each others growth and risk of death and aspects of the behavior of animals that influence or determine the size of plant populations.

Essentials of Ecology outlines the major tenets of ecology in a concise and simplified manner for the introductory level student. It presents a balanced overview of ecology, with examples drawn from terrestrial and aquatic environments, and from a variety of organism types. The text, in four color throughout, is arranged in a format that engages the student at all levels. To make learning easier and more relevant, the practical applications of ecology are also stressed wherever possible. <ul>
 <li>Wide range of examples - illustrating key points and concepts. 
</li>
<li>Does not assume prior maths knowledge - all mathematical concepts explained. 
</li>
<li>Applied approach - brings the student closer to the practical elements of ecology and its role in the world. 
</li>
<li>Four colour throughout - bringing the key concepts to life through the strategic use of colour. 
</li>
<li>Balanced treatment of ecosystem and organism type - presents a complete overview of ecology. 
</li>
<li>Interactive learning encouraged throughout - review questions, margin headings, text boxes and web page.</li>

Essentials of Ecology

Begon, Michael

Townsend, Colin

Wiley/Blackwell

Studies on animals and plants are integrated throughout, and there are several chapters dealing with topics given little attention in general. Mathematical and laboratory studies are described where necessary, but the major focus of the book is on real ecological systems. Undergraduates with no background experience will find the material accessible, while practising ecologists may also find it of interest. This book is intended for undergraduates, and professionals in the field.

Essentials of Ecology presents introductory ecology in an accessible, state-of-the-art format designed to cultivate the novice student's understanding of, and fascination with, the natural world. In a concise, engaging style, this text outlines the essential principles of ecology from the theoretical fundamentals to their practical applications. Full color artwork, simple pedagogical features and a wide range of timely examples make this book an ideal introduction to ecology for students at all levels.
The second edition of this successful text provides expanded coverage and over 400 references including 100 new examples reflecting the vibrancy of the field. More than a simple update, the new edition also features new artwork http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/townsend/Images.htm, an enhanced design, and additional integrated applications to make Essentials of Ecology up-to-date and relevant. 
Outstanding features of the second edition of Essentials of Ecology include:
* Dedicated website - study resources and web research questions provide students and instructors with an enhanced, interactive experience of the book www.blackwellpublishing.com/townsend * Key Concepts - summarized at the beginning of each chapter * Unanswered questions - highlighted throughout, emphasizing that in ecology, as in any science, we have much left to learn * History boxes - outlining key landmarks in the development of ecology * Quantitative boxes - allowing mathematical aspects of ecology to be explained thoroughly without interrupting the flow of the text * Topical ECOncerns boxes - highlighting ethical, social and political questions in ecology * Review questions - included at the end of each chapter

Begon, Townsend, and Harper's Ecology has long been regarded as the definitive textbook on all aspects of ecology. This new edition provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject, from the first principles of ecology to the current state of the field, and aims to improve students' preparedness to address the environmental problems of the new millennium. 
Thoroughly revised and updated, this fourth edition includes: <ul>
<li>three new chapters on applied ecology, reflecting a rigorous, scientific approach to the ecological problems now facing mankind</li> <li>discussion of over 800 new studies, updating the text throughout</li> <li>an updated, user-friendly design with margin notes and chapter summaries that serve as study aids</li> </ul>
The resulting textbook is easy to use, lucid and up-to-date, and is the essential reference for all students whose degree program includes ecology and for practicing ecologists.
