Résumé:
Nature All Around Us uses the familiar in order to introduce basic ecological concepts. It offers in twenty-five short chapters organized by scale, from the home to the neighborhood to the city at large. Various ecological concepts are approachably examined, from understanding why a squirrel might act aggressively towards its neighbor to how nutrients and energy contained within a discarded apple core are recycled back into the food chain. Streaming through the work is an introduction to basic ecology, including the dangers of invasive species and the crucial role played by plants and trees in maintaining air quality.
