Description
Ecology in a Changing World teaches students to think like ecologists, developing their quantitative skills and illuminating connections between research data and real-world phenomena. By examining ecology through the lens of the Anthropocene, this innovative book presents its subject in a manner that is both contemporary and relevant. An integrated media package enriches students' learning through activities involving research-based case studies and easy-to-assign, quantitative, skills-based assessments.
