内容简介:
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.
