The Biomass Spectrum
Kerr and Dickie propose the development of a new ecological theory, one that can lead to a more effective remedy for the drastic effects of heavy fishing on natural communities of organisms in both marine and freshwater environments. By plotting the densities of the biomass of all organisms in a given community by body-size classes, the authors provide empirical evidence of what they term "the biomass body-size spectrum" in the world's oceans. After examining this evidence, they propose an underlying theory of predator-prey energy transfer: larger species eat smaller species, providing energy exchange across all species within an ecosystem. Providing the first comprehensive synthesis of the energy flow within the biomass spectrum, this book demonstrates not only a new understanding of the self-organizing properties of ecological production systems but also the potential of the biomass spectrum methodology for offering practical remedies when these natural systems are exploited by humans.

The Gift of Global Talent
The global race for talent is on, with countries and businesses competing for the best and brightest. Talented individuals migrate much more frequently than the general population, and the United States has received exceptional inflows of human capital. This foreign talent has transformed U.S. science and engineering, reshaped the economy, and influenced society at large. But America is bogged down in thorny debates on immigration policy, and the world around the United States is rapidly catching up, especially China and India. The future is quite uncertain, and the global talent puzzle deserves close examination. To do this, William R. Kerr uniquely combines insights and lessons from busine...

Distinctive Techniques for Organic Synthesis
This important book is intended to familiarize the practitioner of synthetic chemistry with somewhat extraordinary techniques which should prove very helpful to his or her work. It covers some reactions or techniques for organic synthesis which are not found in most introductory texts. They include reactions under high pressure, mediated by ultrasonic, flash vacuum pyrolysis, photochemical processes, phase transfer reactions, electrochemical reactions, and reactions on solid supports. The emphasis of the book is on applications. Examples are often drawn from significant contributions, such as natural product syntheses.
