"From start to finish, it is a reading joy." --Chicago TribuneThe warm, wonderful, and entertaining sequel to the hit classic Cheaper By the Dozen.Life is very different now in the rambling Gilbreth house. When the youngest of the family was two and the oldest was eighteen, Lillian Gilbreth's husband and the patriarch of the family, Frank Gilbreth Sr., died, so she bravely took over his business. Now, to keep the family together, everyone has to pitch in and pinch pennies. The resourceful clan rises to every crisis with a marvelous sense of fun-whether it's overcoming chicken pox, giving the boot to an unwelcome boyfriend, battling the rampant sexism plaguing Lillian's engineering workplace, or even meeting the President. And the few distasteful things they can't overcome-like castor oil-they swallow with good humor and good grace.

A History of the Ecosystem Concept in Ecology

A History of the Ecosystem Concept in Ecology

Frank B. Golley

Yale University Press
1996
pokkari
The ecosystem concept—the idea that flora and fauna interact with the environment to form an ecological complex—has long been central to the public perception of ecology and to increasing awareness of environmental degradation. In this book an eminent ecologist explains the ecosystem concept, tracing its evolution, describing how numerous American and European researchers contributed to its evolution, and discussing the explosive growth of ecosystem studies. Golley surveys the development of the ecosystem concept in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and discusses the coining of the term ecosystem by the English ecologist Sir Arthur George Tansley in 1935. He then reviews how the American ecologist Raymond Lindeman applied the concept to a small lake in Minnesota and showed how the biota and the environment of the lake interacted through the exchange of energy. Golley describes how a seminal textbook on ecology written by Eugene P. Odum helped to popularize the ecosystem concept and how numerous other scientists investigated its principles and published their results. He relates how ecosystem studies dominated ecology in the 1960s and became a key element of the International Biological Program biome studies in the United States—a program aimed at "the betterment of mankind" specifically through conservation, human genetics, and improvements in the use of natural resources; how a study of watershed ecosystems in Hubbard Brook, New Hampshire, blazed new paths in ecosystem research by defining the limits of the system in a natural way; and how current research uses the ecosystem concept. Throughout Golley shows how the ecosystem concept has been shaped internationally by both developments in other disciplines and by personalities and politics.
