Essentials of Ecology

Miller’s ESSENTIALS OF ECOLOGY is the ideal alternative to other ecology texts available today, which tend to be too difficult for non-majors. A succinct, 11-chapter introduction, ESSENTIALS OF ECOLOGY uses clear, straightforward language and provides the scientific foundation necessary to understand ecological issues. ESSENTIALS OF ECOLOGY features the accuracy, balance, and current coverage that have made Miller’s texts best-sellers. In fact, Miller’s books are used more often at colleges across the country and around the world than any other texts! ESSENTIALS OF ECOLOGY covers scientific principles and concepts, ecosystems, evolution and biodiversity, biogeography, aquatic ecology, community ecology, population dynamics, and geology, as well as human population growth and demography. Miller has designed ESSENTIALS OF ECOLOGY to be flexible and adaptable for almost any approach. With fair and balanced coverage and Internet tools integrated throughout, the book features an extensively developed art program and the most current coverage of the subject.
