The Ecological World View
Filled with many examples of topic issues and current events, this book develops a basic understanding of how the natural world works and of how humans interact with the planet's natural ecosystems. It covers the history of ecology and describes the general approaches of the scientific method, then takes a look at basic principles of population dynamics and applies them to everyday practical problems.
Ecological Methodology
This coherent text translates the methods of statisticians into "ecological English" so that students may readily apply these methods to the real world. Ecological Methodology, Second Edition provides a balance of material on animal and plant populations. It teaches students of ecology how to design the most efficient tests in order to obtain maximum precision with minimal work. The first part of the text focuses on biological and technical issues in statistical methodology. Students learn about advances that have been made in designing better sampling devices, along with the techniques and equipment used for sampling. The second part deals with creating solid statistical design, and presents all methods that are well-known to statisticians in a language and context that students will easily understand.

Population Fluctuations in Rodents
How did rodent outbreaks in Germany help to end World War I? What caused the destructive outbreak of rodents in Oregon and California in the late 1950s, the large population outbreak of lemmings in Scandinavia in 2010, and the great abundance of field mice in Scotland in the spring of 2011? Population fluctuations, or outbreaks, of rodents constitute one of the classic problems of animal ecology, and in Population Fluctuations in Rodents, Charles J. Krebs sifts through the last eighty years of research to draw out exactly what we know about rodent outbreaks and what should be the agenda for future research. Krebs has synthesized the research in this area, focusing mainly on the voles and lem...
Why Ecology Matters
Global temperatures and seawater levels rise; the world’s smallest porpoise species looms at the edge of extinction; and a tiny emerald beetle from Japan flourishes in North America—but why does it matter? Who cares? With this concise, accessible, and up-to-date book, Charles J. Krebs answers critics and enlightens students and environmental advocates alike, revealing not why phenomena like these deserve our attention, but why they demand it. Highlighting key principles in ecology—from species extinction to the sun’s role in powering ecosystems—each chapter introduces a general question, illustrates that question with real-world examples, and links it to pressing ecological issues ...
A Revolutionary Way of Thinking
Account of how the author's near fatal accident led to the development of a kinesiology-based approach to reintegrating brain function for struggling learners. Discusses the history and principles of kinesiology and describes the structure and function of the brain. Looks at brain integration, environmental factors affecting the brain and realms of consciousness. Includes references and an index. The author is kinesiologist.
Ecology
This book is not an encyclopedia of ecology, but an introduction to its problems. It is not descriptive ecology, and will not tell students about the ecology of the seashore or the ecology of the alpine tundra. It approaches ecology as a series of problems, problems that are confined neither to the seashore nor to the alpine tundra, but are sufficiently general to be studied in either area.

Energetic Kinesiology
Energetic Kinesiology is an emerging field internationally in the Complementary Health Sciences, gaining more and more scientific support and recognition. This fully referenced textbook describes the field and explains the techniques upon which it is built. It covers the underlying principles, the methods and scientific support for the efficacy of Energetic Kinesiology. It also offers a unique history of Energetic Kinesiology based on the first-hand experience of Charles Krebs who knew most of the originators of Energetic Kinesiology techniques personally. The book is a unique, well-illustrated, single source of a vast array of information, research and clinical knowledge in a format that is both accessible and practical to clinicians and students.
