The Ecology of Everyday Things pulls back the veil of our familiarity on a range of ‘everyday things’ that surround us and which we perhaps take too much for granted.

In this engaging textbook ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of ‘everyday things’ including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink to the things we wear read and enjoy to the ecology of communities and space flight and the important roles played by germs and ‘unappealing creatures’ such as slugs and wasps.
