520 |a This book offers accessible information, practical help and clear guidance on the use of ecological techniques included in all A level biology courses. Careful treatment is given to the statistical analysis of data and the use of microcomputers in field work. Sufficient theoretical background is included to enable the reader to tackle problem solving with confidence and suggestions are made for the effective organisation, collation and interpretation of data. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on process and method as exemplified by the application of principles to ecological methods. '... a volume which is worthy of a place in all department libraries, and should be given serious consideration as a class text.' The School Science Review
