About The Book:
The second edition of Ecological Understanding by Steward T.A. Pickett, published in 2007, serves as a crucial sourcebook for contemporary philosophical insights, particularly aimed at practicing ecologists and graduate students in ecology and environmental studies. This revision includes an expanded range of ecological examples, conceptual diagrams, and illustrations, making it even more accessible than the first edition. New text boxes summarize important points, define key terms, and address relevant philosophical controversies, ensuring clarity for readers without a background in philosophy.
Through this edition, readers will deepen their understanding of the goals and structure of science, the evolution of theory, and what constitutes objectivity in contemporary science. The book also explores the role of paradigms and frameworks in ecology and their integration with other disciplines. It provides valuable insights into how ecological theory can guide the public use of ecological knowledge in civic debates. This refined edition enhances the understanding of how theory in ecology shapes its growth and application, making it indispensable for students and professionals alike.
