This book is great in part because each chapter is written by an expert in the field, and is clear and well laid out. I found this book upon the recommendation of a professor in my department when preparing for our qualifying exams (which I passed with flying colors), and have lent it to the new students in our department studying for their exams this April. Highly recommended for a class textbook, personal reference, and an enjoyable ecological read (seriously!). Love it! Review: Worked as required - Daughter loved this text book. Found it very useful for college. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,445,729 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #487 in Scientific Reference #2,063 in Ecology (Books) #92,958 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 42 Reviews | ## Images ![The Princeton Guide to Ecology - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1tQF6B1RSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book- much better than our required grad school ecology text *by E***. on April 7, 2014* This book is wonderful- I found it much more readable and enjoyable than the required Begon et al. textbook we were required to use for my graduate school Ecology class.

Found it very useful for college. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Overview *by D***H on September 9, 2014* This is beautifully written book. It is informative of relevant ecological concepts and quandaries and tells them in a very readable manner, which is something I feel many texts lack. The book is several years old, but at my time of writing this review, there are no issues concerning outdated information to my knowledge. It may not be for those who are completely oblivious to ecology, but those with a basic understanding of the key concepts will find them greatly enforced and expanded upon from this text. I would recommend it to undergraduate students who enjoy ecology very much, or for graduate students who need a refresher on some of the more important parts of ecology. Also, compared to other ecology texts, this one is very economical. If you want to learn ecology from a very good yet inexpensive text, look no further than The Princeton Guide to Ecology! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4791669-the-princeton-guide-to-ecology](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4791669-the-princeton-guide-to-ecology) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
