OK, ecology- rainforests, pollution, recycled paper, hippies hugging trees, ozone layer, all that stuff. Except that ecology is a far more complex and fascinating subject than a bland list of buzzwords suggest. Investigating all the complicated interactions between living things and their environment, ecologists are equally interested in the physical characteristics of the tiniest individual species, and the global impact of large-scale environmental changes. And by the end of Get a Grip on Ecology, you will be as well.
