生物跟它們所生存的環境如何互動？不同生物物種之間又是如何互動？什麼是「生物多樣性」？人類能夠承擔破壞了「生物多樣性」的後果嗎？
隨著人類對於地球的影響與日俱增，上述問題所形成的壓力也愈來愈大。本書選定90個以上的關鍵生態觀念，運用步步推縯的圖表、具有啟發性的論述、以及精巧的插畫，來解釋各種晦澀的理論。
請跟隨本書探索生態學、地質學和地理學的各種關鍵理論、運動與事件，從古典學者和啟蒙時代對於釐清自然界的嘗試，到近代的許多新發現和新理論──例如DNA、蓋亞假說(Gaia hypothesis)、綠色環保議題、殺蟲劑對生態的衝擊、瀕危物種所面臨的困境、以及再生能源…等等。此外，書中也介紹生態學史上的著名人物，包括查爾斯‧達爾文(Charles Darwin)、卡爾‧林奈(carl Linnaeus)、瑞秋‧卡森(Rachael Carson)、詹姆士‧洛夫洛克(James Lovelock)……
How do species interact with each other and their environment? What is biodiversity and can we afford to damage it?
As our influence on the planet grows, answering these questions is becoming more pressing. Written in plain English, this book delivers short, pithy explanations of more than 90 key ideas. Step-by-step diagrams untangle tricky theories, illuminating quotes make the ideas and discoveries memorable, and witty illustrations enhance and play with our understanding of the science.
You'll explore key theories, movements, and events in biology, geology, geography, and environmentalism, from the ideas of classical thinkers and Enlightenment attempts to impose order on nature, to discoveries such as DNA and theories like the Gaia hypothesis. Boxes highlighting "green" issues - the impact of pesticides, the plight of vulnerable species, and the search for renewable energy - appear throughout, as do profiles of influential figures - Charles Darwin, Carl Linnaeus, Rachel Carson, and James Lovelock - which place their ideas in their historical context.
Whether you're new to ecology, a science student, or simply concerned about what's happening to our planet, this is a comprehensive introduction to the environment and climate change - arguably the most important subjects of our time.
