TOWARDS A UNIFIED ECOLOGY
Written by T.F.H. Allen; Thomas W. Hoekstra.
Stock no. 1710867
Published by Columbia University Press. 1st 1992. Slightly better than very good condition.

Complexity in Ecological Systems series. The demands made of ecology today - that the discipline be predictive and that ecologists consider large-scale systems - require ecologists to deal with complex systems through a strict and consistent epistemology. This book explains that hierarchy theory's conventional "levels" are actually criteria for observation. The authors assert that the essential character of ecology's subdisciplines is a scale-dependent and present a conceptual framework for a more coherent view of ecology. Cardwraps. B/w diagrams and photos. xiii and 384 pages including index. ISBN: 0231069197. Text block slightly grubby. Initials in ink to top corner of front endpaper (neat). Else a clean copy.
