Ecological Modeling
A Commonsense Approach to Theory and Practice
William E Grant and Todd M Swannack
180 pages, 75 illus.
Blackwell
In addition to providing a common-sense introduction to the basic principles of systems modeling, the authors suggest a practical strategy for dealing with pitfalls commonly encountered during model development. The ties between theory and practice, which beginning modelers often find so elusive, are demystified via the step-by-step development of three models representing ecological systems of increasing complexity.
Tropical Conservation Biology
Navjot S Sodhi, Barry W Brook and Corey JA Bradshaw336 pages, illus.
Blackwell
This introductory textbook examines diminishing terrestrial and aquatic habitats in the tropics, covering a broad range of topics including the fate of the coral reefs; the impact of agriculture, urbanization, and logging on habitat depletion; and the effects of fire on plants and animal survival.

Forest Ecology and Conservation
Series: TECHNIQUES IN ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION SERIES
A Handbook of Techniques
Adrian C Newton454 pages, 80 illus.
Oxford University Press
Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures on remaining natural forests continue to intensify, leading to high rates of biodiversity loss. Understanding how human activities influence ecological processes within forests is essential for developing effective conservation action.
Comparative Plant Ecology
Series: COMPARATIVE PLANT ECOLOGY
A Functional Approach to common British Species
JP Grime, JG Hodgson and R Hunt752 pages, diagrams throughout.
Castlepoint Press
When the first edition of this book appeared in 1988 it was hailed as a breakthrough in the functional approach to the British flora, and the accounts of the functional ecology of common British vascular plants were widely used in academic research as well as in schemes for the management and conservation of vegetation.
