Modeling Nature

   Second Edition

   [48]Sharon E. Kingsland
   2d edition
   The first history of population ecology traces two generations of science and
   scientists from the opening of the twentieth century through 1970. Kingsland
   chronicles the careers of key figures and the field's theoretical, empirical, and
   institutional development, with special attention to tensions between the
   descriptive studies of field biologists and later mathematical models. This
   second edition includes a new afterword that brings the book up to date, with
   special attention to the rise of "the new natural history" and debates about
   ecology's future as a large-scale scientific enterprise.
