A Citizens Guide To Ecology

The earth is continuously changing and evolving--yet it is unclear how environmental changes will affect us in years to come. What changes are inevitable? What changes, if any, are beneficial? And what can we do as citizens of this planet to protect it and our future generations? The author offers compelling answers to these questions in this book. Providing many insights into ecology and the processes that keep the world functioning, this important guide introduces observations that underlie arguments about all aspects of the natural environment--including both global and local issues.
