The Ecology of Everyday Things

Everard, Mark

Abstract

For many people, ecosystems may be a remote concept, yet we eat, drink, breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook, ecosystems scientist Dr Mark Everard considers a diversity of 'everyday things', including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink, to things we wear, read and enjoy, to the ecology of communities and space flight, and the important roles played by germs and 'unappealing creatures' such as slugs and wasps. Ideal for use in undergraduate and school level teaching, it will also interest, educate, engage and enthuse a wide range of less technical audiences.
