The idea that nature is in balance and is only occasionally disrupted by external influences is a central concept in biology. However, much evidence contradicts this assumption. Using evidence from fossil history, studies of plant and animal populations and communities, this book shows that nonequilibrium is more widespread than equilibrium.
