Can't say I've read many other Ecology textbooks, but dated though this one is, it was still pretty readable for a textbook, introducing many core concepts of the discipline with clear examples and interesting diagrams. Odum seems to be more of a water ecosystem person, with what I found scant treatment of terrestrial biomes. The portions on human ecology make this book a very prescient piece of writing indeed, as it draws many analogies in nature with human societies that are far ahead of its t..more

Sep 10, 2016Ipsita rated it it was amazing

This was my course book in first semester and it definitely changed the way I look at ecology (I found it pretty boring before). It's hard to read a book on environment and feel good because most of the text just elucidate how much we have screwed up with the environment. But this book just as the title suggests, teaches about the fundamentals of what is ecology and how it functions. Some of the text was even funny and some really worth pondering over a lot. An example of this would be the indus..more

Good Books in Ecology.

New To This Edition

• Dramatic changes have been made to the art program, freshened up with new “thought bubbles” that highlight the important takeaways from complex figures.
• Structural changes to the text (now 5 sections instead of 4) and expansion of certain topics, but maintained accessible text length.
• Expanded coverage of ecosystem science and biogeochemistry, including extensive attention to both terrestrial and aquatic ecology and how ecological principles apply equally to both types of environments.
• Hundreds of new studies added to demonstrate both fundamental and applied aspects of ecology.

Features

This text has been written with an understanding of the scope of problems facing us (the unsustainable use of ecological resources, pollution, extinctions and the erosion of natural biodiversity) and conviction that the means to counter and solve these problems depend absolutely on a proper grasp of ecological fundamentals.

• Key Concepts - summarized at the beginning of each chapter.
• 3 categories of boxed text:
  • Historical landmark boxes emphasize some landmarks in the development of ecology.
  • Quantitative aspect boxes set aside mathematical and quantitative aspects of ecology so they do not unduly interfere with the flow of the text and can be considered at leisure.
  • ECOncern boxes highlight some of the applied problems in ecology, particularly those where there is a social or political dimension. In these, students will be challenged to consider some ethical questions related to the knowledge they are gaining.
• Marginal headings provide signposts of where you are on your journey through each chapter – these will also be useful revision aids.
• Summary and Review questions – included at the end of each chapter. Some questions are designated as challenge problems.
