From the Amazon blurb:

Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2015, the Ecological Society of America (ESA) is the largest professional society devoted to the science of ecology. A Centennial History of the Ecological Society of America tells the story of ESA’s humble beginnings, growing from approximately 100 founding members and a modest publication of a few pages to a membership that exceeds 10,000 with half a dozen important journals, in print and online. It is the story of a successful scientific society that set an example for the world.

This 289-page book reviews the development of the organization and features profiles of three dozen ecologists, as well as an extensive bibliography and index. The hardcover edition lists for $79.95.
