Tropical Forest Ecology

In Tropical Forest Ecology, Egbert G. Leigh, Jr., one of the world's foremost tropical ecologists, introduces readers to the tropical forest and describes the intricate web of interdependence among the great diversity of tropical plants and animals. Focusing on the tropical forest of Barro Colorado Island, Panama, Leigh shows what Barro Colorado can tell us about other tropical forests--and what tropical forests can tell us about Barro Colorado. This book considers three essential questions for understanding the ecological organization of tropical forests. How do they stay green with their abundance of herbivores? Why do they have such a diversity of plants and animals? And what role does mutualism play in the ecology of tropical forests? Beautifully written and abundantly illustrated, Tropical Forest Ecology will certainly appeal to a wide variety of scientists in the fields of evolution, tropical biology, botany, zoology, and natural history.

The infamous Arizona Territory was a place to be avoided like the plague. Like Go Noi Island, it was a free-fire zone that had seen lots of action. Yet right now, everything was deadly quiet. The usually melodic birds were muted. Not a breath of wind rustled the trees. The powdery red dirt under the Leathernecks’ dusty boots swirled in mini explosions. The Marines knew Charlie, the enemy, was out there, but the platoon didn’t realize they had walked into the kill zone. The silence was ruptured as explosions from heavy automatic weapons, grenades, and mortar fire rained upon the Marines. “Corpsman up!” The two words shouted on the battlefield sent a shockwave of adrenalin and activity...

Clay Pennell delights in, at last, riding the famous RAGBRAI, Registers Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, a goal achieved. Since childhood, cycling assumed an important place in Clays life, both as recreation and conditioning. In addition, it was on his bike that he sifted through any issues that he confronted. At the conclusion of his ride across Iowa, Clay left more in the small Iowa town of Packwood than just memories. However, his life went on with only fleeting moments of reflection on that night in Packwoods Friendship Park. Ten years later Clay faces a serious interruption in a life that has included a successful career in the cycling world and a successful marriage to a beautiful executive in a thriving electronics firm located in suburban Minneapolis. An accident on his bike has clouded his future as a cyclist, confronted him with the need to discover just who was responsible for his potentially fatal encounter with a white pickup, and added mistrust to his marriage. Ultimately, Clay confronts a crisis that extends far beyond mere cycling. His decision could have a profound influence on a childs life.

Reintroduction Biology

This book aims to further advance the field of reintroduction biology beyond the considerable progress made since the formation of the IUCN/SSC Re-introduction Specialist Group. Using an issue-based framework that purposely avoids a structure based on case studies the book's central theme is advocating a strategic approach to reintroduction where all actions are guided by explicit theoretical frameworks based on clearly defined objectives. Issues covered include husbandry and intensive management, monitoring, and genetic and health management. Although taxonomically neutral there is a recognised dominance of bird and mammal studies that reflects the published research in this field. The structure and content are designed for use by people wanting to bridge the research-management gap, such as conservation managers wanting to expand their thinking about reintroduction-related decisions, or researchers who seek to make useful applied contributions to reintroduction.
