Professor Tom Crist, University of Miami, chapter reviewer (Chapters 11 - 14)
'I appreciated the refreshing narrative style of presentation. The reader is engaged in the material, which is well organized and clearly presented. There is a nice assortment of examples provided to illustrate and reinforce each point. The authors appear to have succeeded in reaching their intended audience.'
Dr John Spicer, University of Plymouth, Chapter reviewer (Chapters 4 - 5)
'I liked the hierarchical approach/rationale - starting with basic ecological variation and moving on up to interactions - putting the pieces together, as section follows section, until the reader ends up at communities/ecosystems.'
Dr David Wilkinson, Liverpool John Moores University (Chapters 1 - 3)
On chapter 3 - 'I like this chapter and consider it a good idea, this sort of stuff is lacking from many ecology text books'
Chapter review
Overall - 'Based on what I have seen so far I think this could be the introductory text I end up recommending to my students'
