Our economy today would not be such a mess if this book had been required reading in every economics department in the U.S. "Odum has always been one of the few ecologists to see very far beyond the confines of his immediate research program, yet he's a highly respected scientist. His credentials are superb for this kind of book." — Dick Andrus, State University of New York

Eugene Odum describes this book as three books for the price of one. The first book involves the macroscopic or big picture ecology as it relates to human affairs. Book Two is the undergraduate college course in ecology. Book Three is a comprehensive reference work on principles, environments, and ecological technology. For anyone who thinks they might be interested in a career as an ecologist, this is the place to start.

A history of Earth is unintelligible without a history of fire." — from the dust jacket

"This book relates some fundamental aspects of biological oceanography and freshwater biology to global aspects of future protein nutrition of humanity and to our understanding of the processes of evolution. Energetics of food chains, the dynamics of exploited fish stocks, and the biogeochemistry of organic cycles are clearly explained and examined." — from the back cover. Beginning graduate students of oceanography and limnology would do well to study this book from cover to cover.
