Taylor & Francis Ltd Women in Field Biology
Book SynopsisWomen are contributing to disciplines once the sole domain of men. Field biology has been no different. The history of women field biologists, embedded in a history largely made and recorded by men, has never been written. Compilations of biographies have been assembled, but the narrativetheir storyhas never been told. In part, this is because many expressed their passion for nature as writers, artists, collectors, and educators during eras when women were excluded from the male-centric world of natural history and science. The history of women field biologists is intertwined with men's changing views of female intellect and with increasing educational opportunities available to women. Given the preponderance of today's professional female ecologists, animal behaviorists, systematists, conservation biologists, wildlife biologists, restoration ecologists, and natural historians, it is time to tell this storythe challenges and hardships they faced and still face, and the prominent rolTable of ContentsPreamble Section 1: Historical Perspective Chapter 1: Introduction Origins: Europe Origins: North America Chapter 2: Pre-1880 (Late Age of Discovery)EuropeNorth America Chapter 3: 1880 to 1916 (Gilded Age)Chapter 4: 1917 to 1945 (War and Interwar Years) The Chicago plant ecologists The Chicago animal ecologists The Nebraska/Minnesota plant ecologists The Wisconsin limnologists The Cornell legacy Elsewhere in the United States Chapter 5: 1945 to 1972 (Postwar Years)Chapter 6: 1972 to Present (Civil Rights Era)Section 2: Current Perspectives 8.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Pesticide Residues in Coastal Tropical Ecosystems
Book SynopsisThe coastal tropics comprise some of the most sensitive and yet the most understudied ecosystems in the world. Coastal plains and river valleys are also home to agriculture on a vast scale, and it is not surprising to find that streams and rivers receive the majority of agricultural runoff, carrying the residues of insecticides, fungicides and other pesticides into estuaries and coastal zones. There is a growing awareness of the urgent need to develop strategies to help productive, healthy and economically viable agriculture to coexist with natural resources. Pesticide Residues in Tropical Coastal Ecosystems brings together toxicology experts from around the world to assess pesticide burdens in many of the major food-producing tropical countries. It provides a unique set of case studies, chronicling pesticide usage and its ecotoxicological impact in coastal regions. A practical guide to recent research findings and applications, it is essential reading for environmental professionals, Table of ContentsIntroduction. Pesticides in the Marine Environment of Ghana. Pesticide Use in Zimbabwe: Impact on Lake Kariba, a Tropical Freshwater Ecosystem. Pesticides in Kenya. Distribution, Fate and Effects of Pesticides in the Tropical Coastal Zones of India K..
