翻译产生的表达风格往往是呆板和笨拙的。一个部分可取的特点，也许是独特的，在这类出版物，是一个60个问题和答案的章节，给了一个快速和实际的方向，医生处方这些药丸和病人接受他们。尽管这一惊喜，这本书一般不添加到什么是已经知道和可用的各种更好的书面卷。本书涉及自然群落的结构、生态系统的功能以及人类与生物圈的关系问题。它是《种群生态学》的姊妹卷。生物圈被定义为人类的环境，人类正在以不利于自己的方式改变它;研究生命系统与环境的关系是生态学。章节的主要主题涉及：社区结构和组成;社区和环境;生产（测量，陆地，海洋）;循环和污染;人类生态学。许多图表说明了文本，并有许多有价值的参考。作者指出，人类生态学的难题如果离开人口控制就无法解决，这也许只是现实的判断。在解决环境问题时，需要考虑到人口限制和技术滥用的发展，这些因素迅速加剧，相互关联：这是生态学的目标之一。这些目标包括了解适应和人口过程，欣赏和了解自然群落及其生物体的演变，了解生态系统和生物圈的功能，并促进更明智和更好地了解自然群落和环境的长期管理，以满足人类的需求。作者简要介绍了卫生行业目前面临的和潜在的困难，而不是对冲突的深入研究。所涉及的材料范围很广，对各种主题的分析也很粗略。因此，这本书可能最好地服务于一般专业和外行读者希望获得一些角度对该地区没有负担的沉重细节。其中几个观点在构成这部作品的散文中重复提出;散文本身缺乏连续性。这是我的希望，当我选择审查这本书所写的著名经济学家感兴趣的人力资源开发，我会遇到一个有据可查的讨论的几个经济...
translation yields a style of presentation that is often stilted and awkward. A partially redeeming feature, and perhaps unique in this kind of publication , is a 60-question-and-answer chapter which gives a rapid and practical orientation to the physician prescribing these pills and the patient receiving them. Despite this pleasant surprise, the book in general does not add to what is already known and available in a variety of better written volumes. This book concerns the structure of natural communities, the function of ecosystems, and the problems of man's relations to the biosphere. It is a companion volume to The Ecology of Populations. The biosphere is defined as man's environment, which man is now altering in ways disadvantageous to himself; the study of living systems in relation to environment is the science of ecology. Major subjects of chapters deal with: community structure and composition; communities and environments; production (measurement, on land, marine); cycling and pollution; human ecology. Numerous figures and tables illustrate the text, and there are many valuable references. The auther points out that it may be only realism to judge that the difficult problems of human ecology are not now soluble without population control. There are rapidly intensifying, interlocking factors, with development of restraints on population and technological abuse to be considered in the solution of environmental problems: Such is one of the objectives of ecology. These objectives include knowledge of adaptation and population process, appreciation and understanding of natural communities and the evolution of organisms in them, comprehension of the function of ecosystems and the bio-sphere, and contribution to a wiser and more understanding, long-term management of natural communities and environment in relation to human needs. The authors have presented a synopsis of the present and potential difficulties confronting the health industry, rather than an in-depth study of the conflicts. The scope of material dealt with is broad, the analysis of the various topics cursory. As such, the book may best serve a general professional and lay readership wishing to gain some perspective on the area without being burdened with weighty detail. Several of the points are made repetitively in the essays that comprise this work; the essays themselves suffer from a lack of continuity. It was my hope when I chose to review this book written by the noted economist interested in manpower development that I would encounter a well-documented discussion of several of the economic …
