Scientific Method for Ecological Research
"Sixteen chapters, interspersed with extremely useful, detailed examples of thesis research, describe clearly and comprehensively the intellectual, practical, and societal milieu in which ecological research is conducted."   ChoiceA strikingly original treatise encompassing nearly the entire scope of the creative scientific process...This broad and erudite text will benefit anyone involved in ecological research faced with the problem of devising testable and meaningful research questions...this is not a book that should be kept on the shelf; rather it should be owned, read thoroughly, discussed, and consulted frequently by every graduate student and ecological researcher...should be required reading by anyone planning an ecological research project, or planning to advise one."   Ecology"If I could slip one book through a time warp, back to the 1970s when I was first trying to 'do' science, this would be the one...Curious minds will find no better use for $50...This book is simply a clear and readable exposition on the nature of science and research and how one can join the wonderful search for knowledge."
