There is a natural law through which Harvey Croze and John Reader have identified pyramids of life, relationships that bind animals and plants together. These pyramids or patterns are repeated a thousand times on plains and in lakes, rivers, and forests as basic forces that determine the order of things.
Expand description
Using the African ecosystem as its model, Pyramids of Life selects examples from every level of existence and takes into account the interference of man in recent years and the science of complex adaptive systems that has emerged over the past two decades. This book, containing more than three hundred color and black-and-white photographs, is a structured and fascinating exploration of the beauties and mysteries of the living world.
Pyramids of Life is an indispensable guide for all those with an interest in ecology and conservation -- including students of these subjects -- as well as a beautifully designed portrait of African wildlife and nature.
