Loading... Eyewitness Books: Ecologyby Steve Pollock
None. This is an interesting book all about ecology. It is broken up into two page spreads of subtopics of ecology, for example, "what is ecology," and "food webs". Each two page spread has color photographs attached to a blurb about something under that subtopic. The entire book is done this way. It is an interesting format. It has a table of contents and an index. I particularly enjoyed the photo of the Gray Long-Eared Bat because he has truly great ears and seems to be smiling. Ages 8 - 12.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0756613876, Hardcover)Here is a spectacular, thought-provoking, and highly informative guide to the fascinating story of ecology. Superb color photographs of animals, plants, and ecosystems reveal the ideas and discoveries that have changed our understanding of life around us. See how plants store their food supply, how dung enriches the soil, how biodiversity is measured, the damage caused by acid rain, and a field-digger wasp capturing a fly. Learn how plants create their own food, how and when the world's human population "exploded", how your back yard provides a small-scale model of life all over the Earth. Discover the links in the seashore food chain, how the buffalo was saved from extinction, why insects such as locusts are subject to population explosion, natural pest control, and much, much more!(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:20:05 -0500) Illustrations and text provide information about ecology in general, specific ecosystems, and our changing understanding of life around us. |
