Great First Approach on Ecology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is a must for people starting to study ecology. It's short, very well written and clear, concise, not oversimplifying, and it's very nice to read. It has real life examples too. It's true it doesn't go very deep, but it gives you the perfect fundation to go deeper after it, reading Begon for example, which is a good book but gives for granted a lot of concepts. Anyone can read this book, because it starts fron absolut zero, which is the very best of it.

Gotelli's work is one of the best Ecology books out there!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I had to read Gotelli's A Primer of Ecology for my Ecology class at Brown University. I thought that it was by far the most comprehensive and easily read book used in that class. The mathematical models were always backed up with empirical evidence to several models in the field. A definate must read for all ecologists!
