Basic Books The Ghosts Of Evolution
Book SynopsisA new vision is sweeping through ecological science: The dense web of dependencies that makes up an ecosystem has gained an added dimension-the dimension of time. Every field, forest, and park is full of living organisms adapted for relationships with creatures that are now extinct. In a vivid narrative, Connie Barlow shows how the idea of missing partners in nature evolved from isolated, curious examples into an idea that is transforming how ecologists understand the entire flora and fauna of the Americas. This fascinating book will enrich the experience of any amateur naturalist, as well as teach us that the ripples of biodiversity loss around us are just the leading edge of what may well become perilous cascades of extinction.Trade Review"Fascinating, imaginative, and stimulating, The Ghosts of Evolution is a wonderful piece of writing-well worth reading by anyone interested in nature and its myriad components." -Michael J. Balick, The New York Botanical Garden.

Random House USA Inc The Uninhabitable Earth Life After Warming
Book Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon.”—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday DemonWith a new afterwordIt is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation. An “epoch-defining book” (The Guardian) and “this generation’s Silent Spring” (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it—the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the

Springer An Introduction to Coastal Ecology Tertiary Level Biology
Book SynopsisThe authors have adopted a habitat-organismal approach because they believe that a knowledge of biota and major features of their environment is the best key to an understanding of both larger and smaller scale processes.Trade ReviewThis is an excellent book in its field. Undergraduates or even laymen will find it easy to read yet informative and up-to-date. Journal of EcologyTable of Contents1 The Coastal Environment.- Coastal topography-embayed coasts, plains coasts, new coasts. Cliffs. Sediments. Water movement-waves, internal waves, storm surges, tsunamis, tides, seiches, currents. Temperature, salinity and thermoclines. Organic matter. Maritime climates.- 2 The Neritic Province.- Plankton-phytoplankton, zooplankton, meroplankton, bacterioplankton. Adaptations amongst planktonic organisms. Light, nutrients and the seasonal cycle. Grazing. Spatial patterns-patchiness, vertical migration. Trophic interrelationships. Productivity.- 3 Life on Rocky Coasts.- Life habits and adaptations-water movement, desiccation, temperature and light, feeding strategies, life cycles. Zonation-a descriptive framework. Factors influencing zonation-physical factors, biological factors, settlement and behaviour. Geographical and local distribution, patchiness. Disturbance, diversity and community organization. Productivity and trophic interrelationships. Other habitats-algal epifaunas, crevices, tidal rapids, boulders, subtidal rock.- 4 Life in Sediments.- The physical background. Prokaryotes and interstitial chemistry-sediment sulphur cycling. Sediment Protista. Macrophytes-sea-grasses, sea-grass communities. Bottom communities. Some macrofaunal representatives-Polychaeta, Mollusca, Crustacea, Echinodermata. Bioturbation. Meiofauna-sand meiofauna, meiofaunal and benthic productivity. Other aspects.- 5 Brackish-Water Environments.- Types of estuary-coastal plain estuaries, bar-built estuaries, tectonic estuaries, fjords. Major environmental features-water circulation and salinity, sedimentation, other factors. The biota of estuaries. Adaptations of estuarine organisms. Productivity and food webs. Brackish and hypersaline environments-estuarine realms, hypersaline lagoons, brackish seas, tidepools, brine seeps.- 6 Coral Reefs.- Classification-fringing reefs, barrier reefs, atolls, patch reefs. Distribution and limiting factors. Reef morphology and zonation. Nutrition, calcification and growth. Species interactions-mutualism, competition, predation, grazing. Physical disturbance. Diversity gradients and biogeography. Productivity.- 7 Marshes and Mangroves.- Saltmarshes: Establishment. Succession, zonation and marsh structure. Other flora and fauna. Trophic structure and energy flow. Mangroves: Geographical distribution. Zonation. Succession. Adaptation of mangroves. Mangrove fauna. Primary productivity; trophic interrelationships.- 8 Other Coastal Habitats.- Sand dunes-the strandline, dune ridge formation, dune slacks, dune fauna. West coast deserts. Shingle beaches. Grassland and heath. Coastal woodlands. Cliffs. Swamps and mires. The ice edge.- 9 The Inshore Harvest.- Sponges. Corals. Worms. Crustacea-shrimps, crabs, lobsters and spiny lobsters. Mollusca-bivalves, gastropods, squid and octopus. Commercial fish-demersal fish, pelagic grazers, pelagic predators, fisheries research, fish culture. Other coastal fish. Higher marine vertebrates-snakes and lizards, crocodiles and turtles, marine mammals. Seaweed resources. Environmental impact of fisheries.- 10 Coastal Birds.- Classification of coastal birds. Distribution. Adaptations to the marine environment. Food acquisition. Breeding ecology. Mortality, longevity and regulation of numbers. Migration and foraging. The importance of birds in coastal ecosystems.- 11 Coastal Management.- Physical resources-space, power generation. Mineral resources. Pollution-pesticides and related compounds, heavy metals, radioactivity, oil, organic matter, nutrients. Public health. Pests and introductions. Fouling. Access, recreation and tourism. Planning and legislation. Coastal conservation-detection and prediction of change, coastal nature reserves. System modelling. In conclusion. Envoi.- References and Further Reading.
