Christopher Carter – "Ecology and the Biosphere: Principles and Problems"

I was searching local libraries for more basic books on ecology and I found this book "Ecology and the Biosphere: Principles and Problems." It's a nice textbook that I really was looking for in order to get a more comprehensive look on Ecology. It is concise, focused on material that will help us make intelligent choices about the future of the earth, and written in a style that will help us make connections to our own lives. The book, in a nutshell, tells us how science relates to our lives, how the biosphere works, what is wrong with it, and what we can do to make a difference. The book gives us numerous real-life examples like the disasters that have struck Los Angeles and other cities in America. I'm really glad that I was able to find this book in particular, because it wasn't just all facts, it had examples and ideas that related back to our Ecology class. It got me thinking about a previous topic I wrote about "our disassociation from Ecology." It made me realize that there are so many problems in the world's Ecology that we don't even think about, and will never think about because we don't even know they are going on.
