Ecology

by Michael L. Cain, William D. Bowman, Sally D. Hacker

The new Third Edition of Ecology remains focused on the primary goal of this bestselling book: to be the best teaching tool possible for students taking their first course in ecology. Toward that end, the authors updated, replaced, or cut sections of the text as appropriate, and they added a new chapter on Behavioral Ecology, an exciting and growing subfield of ecology that always draws high levels of student.

as far as textbooks go, this wasn't impossible to read.

Did quite read all of it, but read a heck of alot... The text was simplistic, but the content was interesting

[Hady George]

More engaging than I thought it would be. Written in a casual tone and filled with information. The links to climate change throughout help keep things relevant, and got me interested in the topics I don't usually enjoy reading about. I definitely enjoyed some chapters much more than others, but this down to the content rather than the way information is presented. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get a solid foundation in ecology, a discipline relevant to all sorts of scientific fields.

Very useful textbook! Perfect amount of words interspersed with a good amount of pictures!

[Austin Barger]

A bland textbook, but it helped me pass the class. In reality, I only read about 530 of the 600ish pages

[Olivia]

Understandable textbook with relevant examples

[Cassandra Sharkey]

I don’t like Ecology....

[Lisa Arrigo]

Excellent resource

[Becky Thublin]

This textbook utilized many real-world examples, making the more complicated ecological concepts easier to grasp. I enjoyed it very much and think it's an excellent book to use for an ecology class.

sassy, informative and keeps my interests cramming the night before
