This book is a personal history and apology, written by one of this century’s most distinguished small mammal ecologists, for a life in science spent working on problems for which no final dramatic conclusion was reached. Included along the way are some important anedcotes and history about Charles Elton and the pioneering work at the Bureau of Animal Population at Oxford University, from which much of modern population ecology has grown, and insights on the philosophy and practice of science.

This is a beautiful hypothesis based on fairly clear assumptions that can be tested experimentally ... well written and full of interesting historical information. * Nature, Vol. 382, July 1996 *
