520 0  The first edition of Toward a Unified Ecology was ahead of
       its time, and in this equally groundbreaking text, the 
       authors present a new synthesis of their core ideas on 
       evaluating communities, organisms, populations, biomes, 
       models, and management. The book places greater emphasis 
       on post-normal critiques, cognizant of ever-present 
       observer values in the system. The problem is how to work 
       holistically on complex things that cannot be defined, and
       this book continues to define an approach to the problem 
       of scaling in ecosystems. Provoked by complexity theory, 
       the authors add a whole new chapter.
