reusablecup's review
Great book to learn concepts and was beneficial before I started studying but now a lot of it is stuff I know. Just never pick it up but will probably flick through it over the years.

I can safely say that this book is the most accomplished introductory ecology book. The authors have done a perfect job of explaining different concepts simply and in an accessible way for all readers.
The book manages to cover the most important topics of the field and simultaneously shines light on the problems that require urgent intervention.

*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
"Ecology links nature, people and planet in a single subject, seeking to understand the fundamentals of why nature works the way it does, and then taking thtlat understanding and applying it to pressing problems in conservation, habitat management, natural resource use and agriculture."
This book introduces main concepts in bite size chunks and covers a variety of sub topics of ecology. There are glossary sections, ecologist focuses providing a history of the people behind it all, and an index if you want to find something in particular.
Each section contains a 30-sec summary of the topic but along the sides, we also get shorter summaries, quotes, a quick biography and a 3-min summary if you want to go into more detail. The layout is easy to read and informative, giving you just the right amount of information.
It's an interesting book, not knowing much about ecology myself and it explains things well in a short amount of time. It's a bit of a slog to read cover to cover, but would make a good coffee table book to pick up for a quick bit of learning.
