Sarah's Willow

Sarah loves the willow tree behind her house. But one day, two men come and paint a white cross on the willow's trunk, and the next day when Sarah comes home from school she finds that her beloved tree has been cut down. Sarah is heartbroken, and she worries about the little tree spirit that she met in a dream. Where will it live now? Sarah's father has an idea. It will not bring back Sarah's willow, but it holds out hope for the future. Maja Dusikova's beautiful paintings illustrate this simple story of loss and renewal.

Ecological Informatics promotes interdisciplinary research between ecology and computer science on elucidation of principles of information processing in ecosystems, ecological sustainability by informed decision making, and bio-inspired computation. The 2 edition of the book consolidates the scope, concepts, and techniques of this newly emerging discipline by a new preface and additional chapters on cellular automata, qualitative reasoning, hybrid evolutionary algorithms and artificial neural networks. It illustrates numerous applications of Ecological Informatics for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, image recognition at micro- and macro-scale as well as computer hardware design.
Case studies focus on applications of artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, cellular automata, adaptive agents, fuzzy logic as well as qualitative reasoning. 
The 2 edition of the book includes an index with novel evolutionary algorithms for the discovery of multiple nonlinear functions and rule sets as well as parameter optimisation in complex ecological data.
