About this book
From Reviews of the First Edition:
"John Andrews has succeeded admirably in building a bridge that is accessible to all ecologists."
-Ecology
"I recommend this book to all ecologists. It is a thoughtful attempt to integrate ideas from, and develop common themes for, two fields of ecology that should not have become fragmented." -American Scientist
"Such a synthesis is long past due, and it is shameful that ecologists (both big and little) have been so parochial." -The Quarterly Review of Biology
