Toward a Unified Ecology (Complexity in Ecological Systems)

The first edition of Toward a Unified Ecology was ahead of its time. For the second edition, the authors present a new synthesis of their core ideas on evaluating communities, organisms, populations, biomes, models, and management. The book now places greater emphasis on post-normal critiques, cognizant of ever-present observer values in the system. The problem it addresses is how to work holistically on complex things that cannot be defined, and this book continues to build an approach to the problem of scaling in ecosystems. Provoked by complexity theory, the authors add a whole new chapter on the central role of narrative in science and how models improve them. The book takes data and modeling seriously, with a sophisticated philosophy of science.

Imagine that you are six, seven or even ten years old and know that you are somehow different from other children. Sometimes, what you want most is just someone, anyone, to listen and share your sadness, your fearful moments, and to offer nothing else but understanding. Mr. Teddy's Journey follows a very unique teddy bear that enters into the lives of four special children and one lonely teacher to offer exactly that; a heart filled with love and a pair of fuzzy ears that strain at all times to listen to what might seem to others to be the most inconsequential thoughts.

Some family stories are lost and others are discouraged due to their darker content with the stern admonition, "Don't tell all your business!" This is a collection of stories that survived about growing up in a rural area fondly referred to as the Bermuda Triangle of Alabama. The stories recount times when the families that had moved away returned in the summers with car loads of cousins who were set free to move with reckless abandon from fields and yards to woods and creeks. Reflected in the tales are both the dark and light sides of the lives of those who never left, the cousins and brothers that grew up on the gravel road where their grandmother's farm dominated the crest of a hill. The darker stories are necessary to present a more accurate portrayal. After all, they are stories of a family and without the dark ones, the lighter more whimsical tales would never seem to shine as bright.
