It is neither a short entry dictionary nor a long entry encyclopedia, but lies somewhere in between. The mixture of short entry definitions and long entry essays gives a comprehensive and up-to-date alphabetical guide to over 3000 topics, and allows any subject to be accessed to varying levels of detail; while the longer entries provide general reviews of subjects, the short definitions provide specific details on more specialised areas. An important feature of the Encyclopedia which sets it apart from other similar works is the comprehensive cross-referencing. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe most comprehensive and up-to-date reference work in pure and applied ecology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefinitions cover the entire spectrum of pure and applied ecological research.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistinguished editorial board: Dr Peter Moore, Professor John Grace, Professor Bryan Shorrocks, Professor Steven Stearns, Professor Don Falk.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternational team of distinguished authors - over 200 contributors from 20 countries.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3000 headwords defined.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOver 250 long entries review major topics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavily illustrated, with a section of colour plates.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplete one volume guide to pure and applied ecology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents cutting edge definitions in emerging fields as well as grounding in well-established areas of ecology.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  List pf Contributors. \u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Use the Encyclopedia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Encyclopedia of Ecology \u0026amp; Environmental Management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eColour Plates.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePeter P. Calow is the editor of Encyclopedia of Ecology and Environmental Management, published by Wiley.   Ecology has become so wide ranging that it is hard for any one person to keep track of all the diverse concepts and jargon used in the separate sub-disciplines. It is especially difficult for those applying ecology to keep abreast of the principles of the subject, and for those working on the principles to keep in touch with new areas of application. \u003ci\u003eThe Encyclopedia of Ecology \u0026amp; Environmental Management\u003c\/i\u003e provides a complete one-volume guide to the core definitions and issues associated wit pure and applied ecology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia\u003c\/i\u003e is neither a short-entry dictionary nor a long-essay encyclopedia, but lies somewhere in between with a mixture of short-entry definitions and long-entry essays reviewing the present state of knowledge across a huge range of topics and allowing any particular subject to be accessed in varying levels of detail: the longer entries provide general over-views of subjects, whilst the short definitions provide specific details on more specialized areas.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor anyone intrigued by the life-dinner principle. the bubble concept, NIMTO, or the one-tailed test - whether working on ecological research, practical environmental management, industry or government - \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia of Ecology \u0026amp; Environmental Management\u003c\/i\u003e is a must for your bookself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3000 headwords defined\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOver 250 long entries review major topics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternational team of distinguished authors - over 200 contributors from 18 countries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensive cross-referencing allows readers to follow themes, and to broaden their knowledge in related subject areas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style: none\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents cutting-edge definitions in emerging fields as well as a grounding in well-established areas of ecology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989129380069,"sku":"NP9780632055463","price":254.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780632055463.jpg?v=1761782913","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/encyclopedia-of-ecology-and-environmental-management-isbn-9780632055463","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
