Ecology - Stephen Pollock

All plants and animals need energy and materials from the environment in order to survive. All kinds of living things
or species
affect the lives of others. Ecology is the study of the complex relationships between living things
and between them and their environment. Humans are the most influential creatures on Earth. Our activities
from mining and industry to agriculture and housing
take place on such an enormous scale that the environment is being fundamentally changed. Ecologists provide ways of meeting human needs that are sympathetic to the environment
like recycling and reforestation. Featuring superb photographs of animals
plants
and ecosystems
Ecology is an exciting introduction to the discoveries that have changed our understanding of the world we live in.
