Ecology The Economy Of Nature

This is the textbook only, does not include LaunchPad. Ecology: The Economy of Nature teaches ecology through an evolutionary perspective, and with an emphasis on the quantitative skills needed to fully understand the field. The 8th edition continues that mission with updated pedagogy in the text, and powerful new quantitative problem solving tools in SaplingPlus. This landmark text helped to define introductory ecology courses for over four decades. The text maintains its signature evolutionary perspective and emphasis on the quantitative aspects of the field, but it has been improved for todays undergraduateswith extensive new pedagogy, including Learning Goals, Concept Checks, fresh examples and fully integrated media resources.
