Plant-Environment Interactions
Our image of plants is changing dramatically away from passive entities merely subject to environmental forces and organisms that are designed solely for the accumulation of photosynthate. Plants are revealing themselves to be dynamic and highly sensitive organisms that actively and competitively forage for limited resources, both above and below ground, organisms that accurately gauge their circumstances, use sophisticated cost-benefit analysis, and take clear actions to mitigate and control diverse environmental threats. Moreover, plants are also capable of complex recognition of self and non-self and are territorial in behavior. They are as sophisticated in behavior as animals but their potential has been masked because it operates on time scales many orders of magnitude less than those of animals. Plants are sessile organisms. As such, the only alternative to a rapidly changing environment is rapid adaptation. This book will focus on all these new and exciting aspects of plant biology.
Density Evolution Under Delayed Dynamics
This monograph has arisen out of a number of attempts spanning almost five decades to understand how one might examine the evolution of densities in systems whose dynamics are described by differential delay equations. Though the authors have no definitive solution to the problem, they offer this contribution in an attempt to define the problem as they see it, and to sketch out several obvious attempts that have been suggested to solve the problem and which seem to have failed. They hope that by being available to the general mathematical community, they will inspire others to consider–and hopefully solve–the problem. Serious attempts have been made by all of the authors over the years and they have made reference to these where appropriate.
Tails and Scales
Tails and Scales is a collection of three short stories-"Of Towers and Dragons," "Mermaid Confessions," and "How to Become a Mermaid." Each of these short stories can be read alone, but they are more fun to read together. Of Towers and Dragons What happens when Princess Sparrow decides to lock herself in the tower? Will a knight in shining armor pass the tests that she's set up? Will she be left stuck with Luca, the dragon charged with keeping unworthy suitors away? Would being stuck with a dragon be such a bad thing? Mermaid Confessions Nai'a (Dolphin in Hawaiian) is a realm protector. A special kind of mermaid that has a unique job-luring men to their death beneath the waves. To make matters worse, her human origins make her an outcast. After nearly two lonely centuries, she is left wondering, What if? How to Become a Mermaid So how did Eli go from being a preacher's dutiful daughter to a man-killing mermaid? Simple-she ran. At the insistence of her father, Eli runs away from an arranged marriage with the ruthless Duke Michaels. Disguised as Eliot, she finds herself on a ship where superstition is king. Find out what happens next when you read each of these stories.
Towards a Framework for Representational Competence in Science Education
This book covers the current state of thinking and what it means to have a framework of representational competence and how such theory can be used to shape our understanding of the use of representations in science education, assessment, and instruction. Currently, there is not a consensus in science education regarding representational competence as a unified theoretical framework. There are multiple theories of representational competence in the literature that use differing perspectives on what competence means and entails. Furthermore, dependent largely on the discipline, language discrepancies cause a potential barrier for merging ideas and pushing forward in this area. While a single ...

Apocalypse Then
Why is the Apocalypse - so alien to most people today - so pivotal to the creation of our culture and to what we are? Williamson explores this question, offering an introduction to why many of Europe and America's most creative minds believed that they were living in the latter days of the world between 1500 and 1800.
