Ecology for Beginners Zusammenfassung

Ecology for Beginners Andy Prentice

A comprehensive and accessible introduction to ecology.
Beautifully illustrated and filled with real-world examples, this book explores the basics of ecology. After fully explaining how ecosystems work, the book moves on to explore how these complicated systems go wrong and what we can do to protect the planet in the future. An ideal book to explain to curious minds what ecology is all about, and what questions ecologists are trying to find answers to, from how to save dying species, to fixing ecosystems through rewilding.

What is ecology?

The big questions

What do ecologists do?

Why is ecology important?

Chapter 1: The basics
How is life organized? How does life adapt to its environment, survive and thrive?

Chapter 2: Ecosystems explained

Find out how every part of an ecosystem works together to keep things balanced. What does it mean to be resilient? How do feedback loops work? And why is biodiversty so important?

Chapter 3: What's going wrong?
Ecosystems are constantly changing, but in the last two centuries these changes have accelerated for one main reason - people. Ecologists investigate what's happening and why.

Chapter 4: A fight worth having
Ecologists have LOTS of ideas about how to help restore ecosystems. Many of the solutions are in the hands of governments and big businesses. Getting them to make changes won't be easy, but it's a fight worth having.

Chapter 5: Being an ecologist
As well as being a science, ecology is also a way of seeing the world. Find out how you can be an ecologist and live in an ecologically-minded way.
