Average rating of 4/5 Such a help during a marine degree, 2004-03-20
A great book to get to know the biology and ecology of estuaries and soft shores. It was such a great help during my final year at university. Covers areas from hydrological explanations, possible organisms encountered through to human impacts. Gives numerous examples worldwide with reference list and brief glossary. For such a compact book it has a good insight into the workings of the marine environment. A must book for future marine ecologists and biologists.

Average rating of 5/5 Grandad's fantastic book, 2007-11-01
Being an avid woodland follower I naturally found this to be a fascinating yarn. The bits on mushrooms were particularly good.

Average rating of 4/5 A good overview of ecology, 2002-10-20
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.

Average rating of 5/5 Insects: An Outline of Entomology, 2007-06-08
This book explains difficult concepts with ease and makes complicated terminology a breeze. It should not only be considered essential reading for any zoology student (which it is), but ideal for anyone intrested in insects and wishes for a better understanding.

A truly pleasurable read.
