Susan;
You also would do well to offer the "Issues in Ecology" publication on
this subject that the Ecological Society of America publishes. Written by a
high-class selection of ESA ecologists, it is a perfect start for non-majors
and other non-ecologists. You can access it for free at
http://www.esa.org/science_resources/issues/FileEnglish/issue2.pdf> or for
$5 for a hardcopy.
Cheers,
-Al Solomon
