 Disappointing October 23, 2006

If you need an ecology book and you want Begon Harper and Townsend then get the new edition Ecology:From individuals to Ecosystems
It costs more or less the same and has 100 times the depth of information.
I'm annoyed that i paid good money for a not-so-good book
 A good overview of ecology October 20, 2002

This book is a good background for ecology. All essential points and termanology is clearly given, making this book easier to revise from. However, there is not enough use of colour (or at least any colour apart from purple) to break the text, making it a more daunting read. Graphs and diagrams are clear, though dull in purple monohrome. Overall, 'Essentials of Ecology' is good as a textbook, but not for enjoyment.
