However, recent theories note that ecological systems are in a constant state of flux leading to a chaotic state as the norm.

"On Isle Royale, a remote island national park surrounded by frigid Lake Superior, a thrilling drama is unfolding between wolves and moose, the island's ultimate predator and prey. For over sixty years, in what has been known as the longest study of a predator-prey relationship in the world, scientists have observed the importance of wolves to Isle Royale's unique ecology. But due to illness and underlying factors, the population of wolves on the island has dropped while the number of moose has increased, putting the Isle Royale ecosystem in jeopardy."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This book is listed as Children's Nonfiction, but I feel that is a misnomer. This wondrous book is best suited to the 8-108 population to enjoy and learn from. It is not a deep scientific tome nor an incredibly simplified decorative piece. It is a learning tool for those of us who appreciate the beauty and life in the animal world but do not have the degrees nor the travel opportunities to be there ourselves. The photography is wondrous, and the prose only enhances it. Terrific!
