HIERARCHY: PERSPECTIVES FOR ECOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY

by T.F.H. Allen; Thomas B. Starr

Published by University of Chicago Press. 1st. 1982

Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. A clear and vigorous account of hierarchy theory, a conceptual model that accepts the importance of complexity in its own right and so allows ecologists to investigate many levels of organization simultaneously. Turquoise cloth boards, white title to spine. B/w photos and diagrams. xvi and 310 pages including index.

Light rubbing to top and tail of spine. Boards clean. Initials in ink to front endpaper (small). Crease to lower corner of front endpaper. Small tape marks to endpapers. Contents otherwise clean. White pictorial dustwrapper is scuffed and grubby, lightly browned to rear panel.
