The Emerald Planet: How Plants Changed Earth's History
ISBN: 9780192806024 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Global warming is contentious and difficult to measure, even among the majority of scientists who agree that it is taking place. Will temperatures rise by 2 C or 8 C over the next hundred years? Will sea levels rise by 2 or 30 feet? The only way that we can accurately answer questions like these is by looking into the distant past, for a comparison with the world long before the rise of mankind.
We may currently believe that atmospheric shifts, like global warming, result from our impact on the planet, but the earth's atmosphere has been dramatically shifting since its creation. This book...

ISBN: 9780195015638 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To those who know the charm of Aldo Leopold's writing in A Sand County Almanac, this collection from his journals and essays will be a new delight. The journal entries included here were written in camp during his many field trips--hunting, fishing, and exploring--and they indicate the source of ideas on land ethics found in his longer essays. They reflect as well two long canoe trips in Canada and a sojourn in Mexico, where Leopold hunted deer with bow and arrow. The essays presented here are culled from the more contemplative notes which were still in manuscript form at the time of...

Unfinished Synthesis: Biological Hierarchies and Modern Evolutionary Thought
ISBN: 9780195036336 / Angielski / Twarda / 1985 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study provides a stimulating critique of contemporary evolutionary thought, analyzing the Modern Synthesis first developed by Theodosius Dobzhansky, Ernst Mayr, and George Gaylord Simpson. The author argues that although only genes and organisms are taken as historic "individuals" in conventional theory, species, higher taxa, and ecological entities such as populations and communities should also be construed as individuals--an approach that yields the ecological and genealogical hierarchies that interact to produce evolution. This clearly stated, controversial work will provoke much...

The Biology of Mutualism: Ecology and Evolution
ISBN: 9780195053920 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The view of nature as red in tooth and claw', as a jungle in which competition and predation are the predominant themes, has long been important in both the scientific and popular literature. However, in the past decade another view has become widespread among ecologists: the idea that mutualisms--mutually beneficial interactions between species--are just as important as competition and predation. This book is one of the first to explore this theme. Ideas and theories applicable to all sorts of mutualisms are presented and, where appropriate, examined in the light of concrete data. Themes...

Darwin Without Malthus: The Struggle for Existence in Russian Evolutionary Thought
ISBN: 9780195058307 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Nineteenth century Russian intellectuals perceived a Malthusian bias in Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. They identified that bias with Darwin's concept of the struggle for existence and his emphasis upon the evolutionary role of overpopulation and intraspecific conflict. In this book, Todes documents a historical Russian critique of Darwin's Malthusian error, explores its relationship to such scientific work as Mechnikov's phagocytic theory, Korzhinskii's mutation theory and Kropotkin's theory of mutual aid, and finds its origins in Russia's political economy and...
