Ecology: The Experimental Analysis of Distribution and Abundance: Hands-On Field Package (5th Edition)

Book Description

This best-selling majors ecology book continues to present ecology as a series of problems for readers to critically analyze. No other text presents analytical, quantitative, and statistical ecological information in an equally accessible style. Reflecting the way ecologists actually practice, the book emphasizes the role of experiments in testing ecological ideas and discusses many contemporary and controversial problems related to distribution and abundance. Throughout the book, Krebs thoroughly explains the application of mathematical concepts in ecology while reinforcing these concepts with research references, examples, and interesting end-of-chapter review questions. Thoroughly updated with new examples and references, the book now features a new full-color design and is accompanied by an art CD-ROM for instructors. &LT;P&GT;The field package also includes The Ecology Action Guide, a guide that encourages readers to be environmentally responsible citizens, and a subscription to The Ecology Place (www.ecologyplace.com), a web site and CD-ROM that enables users to become virtual field ecologists by performing experiments such as estimating the number of mice on an imaginary island or restoring prairie land in Iowa. For college instructors and students.

Scarily good.......2005-04-05

As a layperson with next-to-no knowledge of the subject, nor any maths, algebra or statistics, I thought I'd have a lot of trouble with this book.

And yes, I did have some trouble, and yes, I would really have liked to have had a tutor and classmates to help me through the exercises.

But even so I got a great deal from it, it has lead me to read scientific papers, it has prompted me to investigate higher education possibilities - and it has made me extremely grateful for scientists!

Thanks!

Some of the best rail photography you'll ever see!.......1998-12-09

This book pictorializes one of the most fascinating and best places to watch (and photogaph) modern railroading. The author who is also the photographer, expertly captures the drama, the beauty and the complexity of this mainline trackage running through the Tehachapi mountains.

The photos are large, colorful, sharply detailed. The vantage points are unique. The lighting in many are simply spectacular, lighting not often associated with this subject matter. The narrative is the icing on the cake.

Railfans visit Tehachapi from all over the world. Most of them own this book.

Book Description

MALT Lymphomas is a multidisciplinary book that covers all the aspects of MALT lymphomas, from the molecular biology, the aetiology and the pathology, to all the possible therapeutic approaches. Extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of MALT type (MALT lymphoma) is one of the lymphoma subtypes that has allowed us some of the most interesting steps forward in the understanding and treatment of human cancers.

The eight contributions have been written by a team of international experts and represent an essential reading for oncologists, haematologists, gastroenterologists, pathologists and all the other physicians and researchers involved in cancer. The book is also supported by a series of figures illustrating the histology and the clinical features and the treatment.

Book Description

The subject of this volume is limited in that it addresses amphiphiles at liquid/air, liquid/liquid, and liquid/solid interfaces, with litte attention paid to vapor/solid interfaces. This volume will serve to summarize our current understanding of interfacial structure at the molecular level in these systems, and the relation of this structure to chemical and physicochemical phenomena.

Book Description

Self-contained and concise, this Research Note provides a basis to study unsteady flow in saturated porous media. It provides for the development of algorithms that examine three-dimensional flows subject to complicated boundary conditions that are a natural consequence of flow in geological systems. A new way to understand the flow in porous media is presented. The authors pay attention to computational considerations, and options for developing codes are addressed. The note consists of five chapters: the first is introductory; the second and third are devoted to showing how one arrives at the solutions of interest; the fourth chapter presents various reformulations to aid computations and presents a few illustrative examples; the fifth chapter is a natural progression of the first four chapters to more complicated visualizations of flow in porous media.

Villa Petite Peep.......2007-03-11

I give this book by Juanita Harrison 5 stars because I know of no other quite like it. The book is a compilation of Ms Harrison's diaries and letters recording her around the world adventure in the 1930s. Harrison was a self-educated, optimistic woman of color who determined that she could do anything in the world she pleased. The writing is organized in sequence but is unedited so that all of Juanita's errors in grammar, spelling and syntax are left in tact lending an incredible charm to the book. As with dialect it takes a bit of getting used to but you really get to "hear" Ms Harrison as she takes us with her on the adventure of a lifetime. We get to experience her as a supremely confident, friendly and charming woman who was just suspicious enough to keep herself out of scrapes(most of the time) and who knows, by her very nature, how to squeeze a dollar out of a nickel. She has a great appetite for culture and her sense of pleasure from concerts and museums is palpable. Plus she loves to eat and has as an ample appetite to say the least. Juanita varies between giving great details of places and social customs or none at all as she wanders through Italy and Spain, India and Japan. For all of her bravado we do, several times, get a look at her more vulnerable side. The "Villa Petite Peep" in my title was the name of the tent she pitched in Honolulu with it's little view of the sea. Ms Harrison disappeared from any record keeping and the date or whereabouts of her death are unknown. Fortunately we have this wonderful record of a truly interesting, inspiring American woman. In the right hands "My Great Wide Beautiful World" would make a terrific film.

She's Not Your Average World Traveler.......2000-10-19

Juanita Harrison, a southern African American woman, overcame the obstacles of poverty, a lack of formal education, racism, and a little thing called the Great Drepression to fulfill her dream of seeing the world on her own terms. This collection of her diary entries, unedited for grammar and spelling, has captured the voice of a resourceful, intelligent, adventurous and charming woman. Ms. Harrison's colorful descriptions, clear-eyed assessments of human nature (including her own), shrewd bargain hunting, and her whole-hearted enjoyment of all the good things in life should serve as inspiration to all would-be travelers.
