Really enjoyed this. Probably shouldn't be read from cover to cover as I did. Better to pick it up and read a section or two then take a break. Full of information. Every section is 1-4 pages long, giving solid information but not so much that the details run together and it loses its meaning. Key people on each section of research get full credit.

Fun read, top level overview of many topics in Ecology. Many topics and people to research further
informative sad medium-paced

Depressing

For starters. KOALAS ARE NOT BEARS. It’s an ecology book. This should be simple. Koalas are more closely related to Wombats. Koalas are marsupials NOT bears.
informative slow-paced

I'm sure this would be a useful resource for some people and there were some interesting things in here. Giving the historical context so clearly was a helpful way of illustrating the evolution of ideas. However, this did make it very repetitious, and given that I already knew a solid 60+% of the stuff anyway it was generally a very dull reading experience.

Very good for children.
