Product Information
This is the part of any book where the authors usually discuss why they wrote it. We hope, however, that the text will justifY itself. In fact, any well-trained ecologist will immediately grasp the significance of these seminal works. We have therefore tried to keep our interpretive comments to a minimum. Students of modern theoretical ecology will want to contrast the papers in this collection with their modern derivatives. We believe that those who do so will be surprised, if t amazed, by the ecological sophistication and intellectual power of the earlier works. They will stand as a challenge to those who study them, and we hope, provide a standard for the quality of their work. By presenting this collection of works, most of them t easily available and/or for the first time in English, we hope to help them attain the high level of recognition they deserve. We are also enabling readers t sufficiently familiar with Italian to acquire eugh of a background to properly follow the works in French t presented here by including Volterra's Variazioni e fluttuazioni del numero d' indi vidui in specie animali convi venti (1927), still available. in the original edition.Product Identifiers
