Good Ecology Text by bio nut  3 Stars
September 28, 2009
I think this is an easy to read ecology textbook. It is full of colorful graphs, charts and pictures as well. I like that the important words in the chapter are highlighted in bold print and there is a review of each section at the end of a chapter. I have been pleased with this text as far as text books are concerned.

Perfect! by J. Paschal (pooler, ga) 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
This was the old version of our Ecology book; which means it is the same minus some added pictures. I thought it was well written and I didn't have to pay the price for the new updated version!! Score one for me!
