Ecology

This compact, lively book uses everyday nontechnical language to explain 60 basic ecological concepts. You can move around freely among its brief, information-packed entries, gaining easy access to the new thinking that scientists, environmentalists, politicians, government officials, business people, and concerned citizens everywhere are using to seek a sustainable future for humanity. Ecology: A Pocket Guide includes up-to-date findings about the microscopic beings that first made plant and animal life possible and now regulate global temperature and oxygen levels: a dramatic new story of the intricate interconnections of all life on Earth.

המשפט הראשון: Air seems so thin and insubstantial that we cannot intuitively grasp its role as a global circulator of the essential nutrients CARBON, NITROGEN, and SULFUR as well as of that universal medium of life, WATER.
