-Shelley Burgin of The University of Western Sydney, Hawkesbury, Richmond, NSW

Customer Reviews
A book for general readers by a foremost academic ecologist
Dr. Odum, well-known for years in Georgia for his support of sensible social policies as well as his research and teaching of the scientific discipline of ecology at University of Georgia, has now written a book for the non-scientific layman extrapolating certain concepts from ecology and biology into broader human realms. A few chapter titles give the flavor of the book very well...'What we learn from Ecology about Growth'...'Money is a very incomplete measure of wealth'...'When to confront and when to cooperate.'
