    Missing a Missing Link
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2019*

Elton's classic is without peer.  What is enraging to me is that, with this much evidence of an inherent problem to unrestricted introductions, they continue apace with ubiquitous and catastrophic consequences.  Little has been done to stem the tide, with much of the damage done by those claiming to care about the environ-mint.All that aside, what is missing from Elton's analysis is his clear oversight of the importance of hunter gatherers to mantaining diverse life systems in lands upon which they've lived for thousands of years.  People living off the land absolutely needed all of the plant and animal resources they required for life to be within walking distance.  People develop knowledge with which to introduce periodic disturbance with which to build stability in systems that would otherwise succeed to higher seres until the point of catastrophic failure, with significant loss of early successional species.  Elton, with his Darwinian faith in self optimizing systems fails to recognize even the possibility of humans as keystone species.  Therewith is likelihood that said oversight might just be a legacy of British conquest and acquisition.

    Delightful.
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 24, 2014*

A surprisingly delightful read! Young ecologists won't have to dread this 1958 classic when it's assigned reading. It's dense with examples, not with theories and jargon, and has enough conversational wit to keep you going."If there had been a Cretaceous child living at the time the chalk was deposited in the warm shallow seas at Marlborough or Dover, he would have read in his book, or slate perhaps: 'Very large dinosaurs occur all over the world except in New Zealand; keep out of their way.' Or that water monsters occurred in more than one loch in the world. In fact, zoogeographically, it would have been rather a dull book, though the illustrations and accounts of the habits of animals would have been terrifically interesting. There would have been much less use for zoos: you just went out, with suitable precautions, and did dinosaur-watching wherever you were, and made punch-card records of their egg clutch sizes..."

    A timeless classic

This study is worth a read for anyone interested in ecological issues, including environmental management and history.  It's a great read!
