    In this book, we consider three questions. What are ecological models? How are they tested? How do ecological models inform environmental policy and politics? Through several case studies, we see how these representations which idealize and abstract can be used to explain and predict complicated ecological systems. Additionally, we see how they bear on environmental policy and politics.

    Reviews & endorsements

    'The book assumes little prior knowledge of philosophy or ecology, making it an ideal starting point for a variety of interested readers. And at a slender 75 pages, even the most time starved ecologist should have little trouble finishing it.' Max Dresow and Daniel Stanton, Metascience
