HANDBOOK OF ECOLOGY & ENVIRONMENT

Author: Dr. M. S. Sankaran

The last 50 years have witnessed a vast expansion of both interest and knowledge in the fields of ecology and environmental biology. There has been a tremendous increase in the general awareness of the importance of ecological interactions, environmental pollution, global warming, acid rains, wildlife management, conservation of natural resources, and the loss of global biodiversity owing to habitat distruction. In parallel, there has been a rapid widening of the scope of ecology and environmental biology. This great expansion in the understanding of these fields of biological sciences has led to a problem for the students of these subjects. Leading textbooks have grown greatly in size and complexity. Ecology courses are now an integral component of a wide range of biological science degrees. Admission to many of these courses is dependent on certain entrance examinations. Even students of non- biology backgrounds are attracted to the courses on environment-related subjects. Students and teachers often find it difficult and time-consuming to get certain details on specific terms and concepts and often they have to refer to many standard textbooks. It was felt, therefore, that there is a necessity to have a book on this kind where ecological and environment-related terms and concepts are explained in a concise manner and arranged alphabetically so that this should serve as a quick reference source.
