Harpercollins College Div

This best-selling majors-level book, by Charles Krebs, approaches ecology as a series of problems, which are best understood by evaluating empirical evidence through data analysis and application of quantitative reasoning. No otherbook presents analytical, quantitative, and statistical ecological information in an equally accessible style for students. Reflecting the way ecologists actually practice, the new edition emphasizes the role of experiments in testing ecological ideas and discusses many contemporary and controversial problems related to distribution and abundance. Introduction to the Science of Ecology, Evolution and Ecology, Behavioral Ecology, Analyzing Geographic Distributions,Factors That Limit Distributions I: Biotic, Factors That Limit Distributions II: Abiotic, Distribution and Abundance, Population Parameters and Demographic Techniques, Population Growth, Species Interactions I: Competition, Species Interactions II: Predation, Species Interactions III: Herbivory and Mutualism, Species Interactions IV: Disease and Parasitism, Regulation of Population Size, Applied Problems I: Harvesting Populations, Applied Problems II: Pest Control, Applied Problems III: Conservation Biology, Community Structure, Community Dynamics I: Biodiversity, Community Dynamics II: Predation and Competition, Community Dynamics III: Nonequilibrium Communities, Ecosystem Metabolism I: Primary Production, Ecosystem Metabolism II: Secondary Production, Ecosystem Metabolism III: Nutrient Cycles, Ecosystem Dynamics under Changing Climates, Ecosystem Health: Human Impacts. Intended for those interested in learning the basics of ecology

Ecology: The Experimental Anaysis of Distribution and Abundance (Books a la Carte)

This new textbook fills an important niche by offering a lively overview of the principles of ecology for a broad audience including college level science and biology students as well as readers interested in the fundamentals of ecological science. Filled with many vivid examples of topic issues and current events, The Ecological World View develops a basic understanding of how the natural world works and of how humans interact with the planet's natural ecosystems. It briefly and lucidly covers the history of ecology and describes the general approaches of the scientific method, then takes a wide-ranging look at basic principles of population dynamics and applies them to everyday practical problems. Each chapter is devoted to an important environmental story that has been covered in the media in order to illustrate how the science works in real situations.

On the morning of January 22, 1982, Dr. Charles Krebs was a fit 35 year old with a world of possibilities at his feet. By the evening he was a quadriplegic facing death or at least, a life sentence of physical and mental disability. Possessing both the knowledge of human anatomy and an indomitable will, Charles Krebs decided that whatever it took, he would walk again. In seeking the scientific explanation for his own miraculo recovery, Dr. Krebs synthesised the vast bounty of knowledge of the function of the human body and brain - from the 5,000 year old texts of the East to the very frontiers of Western neuroscience.

On the morning of January 22, 1982 Dr. Charles Krebs was a fit 35 year old with a world of possibilities at his feet. By that evening he was a quadriplegic facing death or a least, a life sentence of physical and mental disability. Medical science had declared that if he lived, Dr. Krebs would never walk again. Possessing both the knowledge of human anatomy and an indomitable will, Charles Krebs, decided that whatever it took, he would walk again. And he did. He made the heroic journey back to wholeness in body, mind and spirit. The opening chapter of this book is an inspiration to anyone who has faced debilitating failure or the intrusion of sudden misfortune. In seeking the scientific explanation for his own miraculous recovery, Dr. Krebs synthesized the vast bounty of knowledge of the function of the human body and brain - from the 5,000 year old texts of the East, to the very frontiers of Western neuroscience. This highly readable book offers insight into the emerging sciences of Applied Kinesiology, Energy Kinesiology, neuroanatomy and function, how the mind/body connection actually works from a scientific view point, how learning happens in the brain and how the reader can utilize this information for themselves. This book also stands as a seminal text for the dawning era of Energy Medicine. The reader will learn about thrilling and complex advances in neuroscience, written at a level an intelligent lay person can comprehend. Dr. Krebs also presents the unfolding research in the field of Energy Kinesiology, and how this emerging science can change neurological behavior that was heretofore thought impossible. Dr. Krebs is a brilliant scientist who explains complex functions and research clearly and thoughtfully for non-professional readers. At the same time world class neuroscientist Candace Pert has said of this book, "When I read this book I finally understood from a scientific point of view how this stuff with Energy kinesiology actually works." For those interested in the fields of Applied Kinesiology and Energy Kinesiology this book offers an unsurpassed description and scientific explanation of 'how' muscle testing functions at neurological and somatic levels.
