Synopsis

Offers the best general summary of the field, with a view toward fostering common disciplinary goals. Allen and Hoekstra begin with hierarchy theory as a basic premise and explain that the conventional 'levels' (ecosystems, landscapes, communities, populations, organisms) are not levels in themselves but criteria for observation.

Book Overview: In my work I have tried to find ways of shortening the loop between ecological theory and practice. Heretofore, to do that, I've had to make reference to a score of books. Now I can refer both students and colleagues to one. -- Bruce L. Bandurski, Ecomanagement Adviser, Intenational Joint Commission, U.S.A. and Canada
