Title
The Ecology of Place: Contributions of PlaceBased Research to Ecological Understanding,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Ecologists can spend a lifetime researching a small patch of the earth, studying the interactions between organisms and the environment, and exploring the roles those interactions play in determining distribution, abundance, and evolutionary change. With so few ecologists and so many systems to study, generalizations are essential. But how do you extrapolate knowledge about a wellstudied area and apply it elsewhere?Through a range of original essays written by eminent ecologists and naturalists, The Ecology of Place explores how placefocused research yields exportable general knowledge as well as practical local knowledge, and how society can facilitate ecological understanding by investing in field sites, placecentered databases, interdisciplinary collaborations, and fieldoriented education programs that emphasize natural history. This unique patchwork of casestudy narratives, philosophical musings, and historical analyses is tied together with commentaries from editors Ian Billick and Mary Price that develop and synthesize common threads. The result is a unique volume rich with alltoorare insights into how science is actually done, as told by scientists themselves.
