Beyond Equilibria
Ecologists and evolutionary biologists, especially those with theoretical and mathematical leanings, have tended to dismiss historical approaches as descriptive, smacking of particularities, allowing few generalizations (or even being untestable), and even antithetical to scientific explanation. By contrast, the concept of biological equilibrium pervades every aspect of ecology and evolution, from the popular notion of the 'balance of nature' to sophisticated mathematical analyses of critical points in the state space of scientific models. This novel book explains the problems associated with an over-reliance on equilibrium-centred explanations, creating a persuasive argument that an explicit consideration of history - i.e. looking beyond the equilibrium - will often lead to a deeper, more nuanced understanding of almost every eco-evolutionary system. The author introduces the concept of 'flavours' of history - the variety of ways in which history can play a critical role in biological processes. Like the flavours of our food, these historical flavours may not always be distinct: they may be blended or overlapping and any number may be present. However, distinguishing between historical flavours is of practical use in explicating ecological and evolutionary phenomena. Beyond Equilibria: Historical Approaches to Ecology and Evolution is aimed at a broad audience of graduate students and researchers in ecology and evolution. Although there is extensive discussion of mathematical models, the material is presented in such a way that no detailed knowledge is needed. The book will be particularly suitable for a graduate-level discussion course.

Touched / Tocado
Laguna San Ignacio, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, comes alive in the essays within Touched/Tocado. Michael Branch writes the essays are "ingeniously organized as a four-stranded narrative which deftly braids the perspectives of a poet, a cetologist, a fisherman, and an activist to offer an informative and inspiring story of how this unique whale nursery was protected and preserved." ENGLISHLaguna San Ignacio, along the Pacific coast of Baja California, Mexico, is one of the most extraordinary places in the world. It is the centerpiece of the Vizca穩no International Biosphere Reserve, which holds beautiful and complex stands of mangroves and dazzling assemblies of seabirds and shorebirds, their wings aglow with ocean light. Within the waters of the Lagoon thrives a full suite of marine life in all its mystery and richness. Not long ago, it was all at risk, but was conserved from ruinous development by a legendary effort of science-based conservation.Such is the setting. The Laguna has an eminent place now not just in Mexico, not just in the Americas, but in the imagination of the world. It is the winter breeding and birthing ground of the gray whale. Just here, and nowhere else on Earth, the whales will approach a boat: they will come to be touched, to play, and to romp and frolic with their newborns, who rise to our hands with antic curiosity and affection. They bring not just themselves: they bring a new world, the one even now in creation. Here is the Laguna. It is a place of transformative power and beauty, of wonderment of being literally in touch with so intelligent and generous a life form. This book is meant to show the whole: in four essays, it unites spirit, science, people, and activism. It is the union we can use to make a future together. A Non-Profit Publication - Proceeds will be donated to gray whale research and programs benefitting the community of Ejido Luis Echeverr穩a, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

The Everyday Naturalist
Learn to identify animals, plants, and fungi wherever you go with this step-by-step guide for spotting and recording key traits and characteristics. If you've ever consulted a field guide to identify a new bird at your feeder, you know the process isn't as easy as it sounds. In fact, it seems like you have to know a lot about that mystery bird to even figure out where to start. The Everyday Naturalist fills in the gaps by explaining what traits to pay attention to when encountering a new species; how and when to use field guides, apps, and other resources; what to do if you get stuck; and more. Rather than focusing on one region or continent, these skills and tools are designed to help you classify nature anywhere you are--whether on familiar territory, traveling, or in a new home. In chapters about animals, plants, fungi, and organisms like lichens and slime molds, naturalist and guide Rebecca Lexa goes into detail about what sets each of these kingdoms apart from each other--from color, shape, and texture to reproductive characteristics, behavior, and habitat--and includes more than forty full-color photos and drawings to illustrate key points. She also provides detailed case studies to demonstrate how to use all of these traits to identify specimens across multiple kingdoms. This easy-to-follow guide empowers you to learn more about the species around you, then use what you know to preserve the world you love. And at a time when biodiversity is imperiled worldwide, nature needs more advocates than ever.

Wanderers in the New Forest
Known as the 'grandmother of herbalism', Juliette de Ba簿racli Levy travelled throughout Europe and North America in pursuit of her passion for herbs and holistic medicine, living mostly in rural places whose nomadic communities helped expand her knowledge of plants and living from the land. In the early 1950s, she settled in a thatched 'cabin' in the New Forest for three years and raised her children in the woods.Originally published in 1958, Wanderers in the New Forest describes an extraordinary family life living wild: drawing spring water from Abbots Well, bathing in Windmill Hill Pond and sharing the water with their animal neighbours, foraging for fruits and fungi or tending to their forest garden of herbs, flowers and vegetables.Juliette's friendships within the local traveller community enabled her to record the impact that post-war modernisation was having on their traditions, ancient rights and intimate knowledge of the New Forest. Thisnew edition is illustrated throughout with photographs taken by Juliette while living in the forest.

Across Yosemite's Wilderness
Step into Yosemite's backcountry with trailblazing ranger Laurel Boyers as she shares a life dedicated to protecting wild wonders Across Yosemite's Wilderness is a memoir about the life and career of Laurel Boyers--the first woman to serve as the Wilderness Manager in the park's history. Laurel also became the first woman to do full-time mounted backcountry patrol throughout the almost 95% of the park that is the Yosemite wilderness. This two-part memoir begins with a travelogue of her last mounted patrol of the park as a ranger. This section, a chapter for each day of the patrol, takes readers on a journey across the wild, roadless backcountry of the park. The narrative of the patrol is interspersed with park history, stories from her career, descriptions of the geography and vegetation, and Laurel's reflections on her over 30 years of service. This section immerses readers in the details of a backcountry patrol, introduces them to the park, and sets the stage for the chronological story of Laurel's life. Part two tells her chronological story, beginning with deep roots. Her great grandfather ran a way station for early visitors to the park, welcoming Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir in 1903. She was born in Yosemite Valley in a little house near what is now Yosemite Village. She went on to join the Park Service in 1976. Her narrative is full of details on what life as a wilderness ranger is really like--stories of mules and helicopters, search and rescue operations, multi-day hikes, mounted patrols, and the challenges of managing the wilderness. It also describes unique connections she made throughout her life, from having known Ansel Adams personally (and having a polaroid he took of her) to leading former first lady Laura Bush on a weeklong backpacking trip through the park. Through her career and experience, Laurel reflects on the global significance of Yosemite and the importance of effectively managing and protecting its iconic wilderness and other wild places across the world. This will be a window into Yosemite's history, the inner workings of the park, the life and career of a trailblazing wilderness ranger, and the most remote corners of the park. Laurel Boyers' perspective is an incredibly unique one, and few people have been lucky enough to live a life quite like hers. The memoir contains original black-and-white drawings created by Lex Munson., ,
