Fundamentals of Soil Ecology
Publisher Description
Big Ecology
In Big Ecology, David C. Coleman documents his historically fruitful ecological collaborations in the early years of studying large ecosystems in the United States. As Coleman explains, the concept of the ecosystem—a local biological community and its interactions with its environment—has given rise to many institutions and research programs, like the National Science Foundation’s program for Long Term Ecological Research. Coleman’s insider account of this important and fascinating trend toward big science takes us from the paradigm of collaborative interdisciplinary research, starting with the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957, through the International Biological Program (IBP) of the late 1960s and early 1970s, to the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) programs of the 1980s.
The Thriving Family
Every parent's goal is to raise happy, healthy children who can thrive and flourish whatever the challenges faced along the way. In The Thriving Family, leading psychologist David Coleman shares his unique vision to show us how. Outlining his core principles of 'kind but firm' parenting, he reveals how powerful tools such as empathy, positive reinforcement and setting successful boundaries can lead to a loving, supportive and calm home environment that allows every member to thrive. Drawing from his vast experience working with families, he looks at new ways to approach common issues, including adapting to parenthood; dealing with bullying, drugs and alcohol; creating healthy social networks online and in real life; dealing with separation and loss; enhancing sibling harmony and reducing rivalry; thriving when your children move on. Whatever the situation or challenge, The Thriving Family empowers parents to create the best future for their children, and encourages children to step into it with joy and confidence.
Rootin' in the Rhizosphere
David Coleman is the David Attenborough of the Rhizosphere, exploring the upper layer of the ground on which we tread, the ground all of us tread. His expertise has taken him, quite literally, around the world, from New Mexico to New Zealand, from Stockholm to Saskatchewan. Root with him in the soil of his life, ride the rails, enjoy the experiences of a soil pioneer and heed his call for responsible stewardship of the planet we all occupy. This autobiography/treatise on our planet's soil will teach you something about a life of service to humanity, about traveling the country the old-fashioned way, "riding the rails," about the connection points between science, education, politics, and geo-relations.
Microbial Ecology in Sustainable Agroecosystems
While soil ecologists continue to be on the forefront of research on biodiversity and ecosystem function, there are few interdisciplinary studies that incorporate ecological knowledge into sustainable land management practices. Conventional, high fossil-fuel input-based agricultural systems can reduce soil biodiversity, alter soil community structu
Fundamentals of Soil Ecology
Fundamentals of Soil Ecology, 3rd Edition, offers a holistic approach to soil biology and ecosystem function, providing students and ecosystem researchers with a greater understanding of the central roles that soils play in ecosystem development and function. The text emphasizes the increasing importance of soils as the organizing center for all terrestrial ecosystems and provides an overview of theory and practice in soil ecology, both from an ecosystem and evolutionary biology point of view. This new edition is fully updated, including an expanded treatment of microbial ecology and new sections on advances in molecular techniques and climate change research. These updates make this edition an essential resource for researchers and students in soil ecology and microbiology. Includes extensive tables and diagrams in full color to enhance concepts Combines theoretical and practical approaches to understanding and applying soil ecology Outlines suggested laboratory and field methods

Parenting is Child's Play
The key to a successful journey through adolescence centres on the recognition that parenting styles have to develop & progress through this period. In this book, David Coleman explains why adolescence gets such a bad press &, reassuringly, why parents don't have to dread it.

Rust Belt Redemption
Two years ago Tom Donovan was a cop, working the rough and tumble streets of Buffalo's East side. One fateful night he was involved in the deaths of a Federal agent and an unarmed man. Fast forward to the present; Donovan is now working as an operative for a private investigator. His latest assignment is to locate the wife of Gary Shields, a local real estate mogul. His investigation leads him to a seamy underside of Shields' business interests and he is forced to make a choice between doing his job and answering to his conscience. Further complicating matters is Donovan being named in a wrongful death lawsuit by the family of the man whose shooting cost him his job two years before. Donovan's past collides with the present as he searches for absolution.
