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 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. A detailed analysis of the value. On the whole, however, the book presents a silicate hydrates of the Zeolite and Permutit group well-balanced view of the broad field of ecology, drawn also covers the dehydration of silicate hydrates and from practical teaching experience.
The writing is clear, concise, and for the most part P a r t IV, entitled "Solid state reactions and their free from specialized terminology. The author's rec- ceramic use," considers the mechanism of sintering ommendation that littoral be abandoned as a term in and correlation between structural defects and their marine ecology will not be well received, and his use reactions in the solid state, with special emphasis on of biogenie f o r "dissolved salts vital to life" will the work by Hedvall.
The material migration on the startle marine ecologists, who have used "nutrient contact between reacting solids and systematic inves- salts" in this meaning and adhere to the long-estab- tigations on reactions in the solid state f o r silicate lished meaning of biogenic in its geologic sense as synthesis are some of the high lights of this gciieral applying to inorganic materials or structures formed review of the present status of solid state research and b y biological agency. There are few such slips, how- development.

The illustrations are clear cements, including valuable comments on the colloidal and well chosen, and there is a good bibliography and theories of cement hardening.
Advantages and shortcomings of each step are discussed and simple examples are used to illustrate all the steps. With that in view, an attempt has been made in this meticulously planned volume to cover several aspects of both basic ecology and environmental biology, along with current status of various environmental problems A college text which provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and concepts of ecology, environments, and ecological technology.
Designed to educate a wide audience about ecological science, this biology text shows you the application of ecological principles in the real world and how to use what you learn to solve problems in fields such as resource management, conservation biology, ecological toxicology, ecosystem health, landscape ecology, and restoration ecology.
Introductory statements, diagrams, models, photographs, and a book-specific website are just a few of the tools found throughout the text that will help you succeed.

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 time, and are fudnamentals relevant today than ever.

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.
