Abstract

Proposes a fresh approach to population biology and ecology. This book proposes and develops an inertial view of population growth, taking note of acceleration, or rate of change of the growth rate between consecutive generations. It is useful for population biologists, ecological modellers, and theoretical biologists and philosophers of science.
