Taking a fresh approach to integrating key concepts & research processes this undergraduate textbook encourages students to develop an understanding of how ecologists raise & answer real-world questions Four unique chapters describe the development & evolution of different research programs in each of ecology's core areas showing students that research is undertaken by real people who are profoundly influenced by their social & political environments Beginning with a case study to capture student interest each chapter emphasizes the linkage between observations ideas questions hypotheses predictions results & conclusions Discussion questions integrated within the text encourage active participation & a range of end-of-chapter questions reinforce knowledge & encourage application of analytical & critical thinking skills to real ecological questions Students are asked to analyze & interpret real data with support from online tutorials demonstrating the R programming language for statistical analysis ...

In Ecology without Nature Timothy Morton argues that the chief stumbling block to environmental thinking is the image of nature itself Ecological writers propose a new worldview but their very zeal to preserve the natural world leads them away from the 'nature' they revere The problem is a symptom of the ecological catastrophe in which we are living Morton sets out a seeming paradox to have a properly ecological view we must relinquish the idea of nature once & for all Ecology without Nature investigates our ecological assumptions in a way that is provocative & deeply engaging Ranging widely in eighteenth-century through contemporary philosophy culture & history he explores the value of art in imagining environmental projects for the future Morton develops a fresh vocabulary for reading 'environmentality' in artistic form as well as content & traces the contexts of ecological constructs through the history of capitalism From John Clare to John Cage from Kierkegaard to Kristeva from The Lord of the Rings to electronic life forms Ecology without Nature widens our view of ecological criticism & deepens our understanding of ecology itself Instead of trying to use an idea of nature to heal what society has damaged Morton sets out a radical new form of ecological criticism 'dark ecology' ...

The second edition of a comprehensive state-of-the-art graduate level text on microeconometric methods substantially revised & updated The second edition of this acclaimed graduate text provides a unified treatment of two methods used in contemporary econometric research cross section & data panel methods By focusing on assumptions that can be given behavioral content the book maintains an appropriate level of rigor while emphasizing intuitive thinking The analysis covers both linear & nonlinear models including models with dynamics andor individual heterogeneity In addition to general estimation frameworks (particular methods of moments & maximum likelihood) specific linear & nonlinear methods are covered in detail including probit & logit models & their multivariate Tobit models models for count data censored & missing data schemes causal (or treatment) effects & duration analysis Econometric Analysis of Cross Section & Panel Data was the first graduate econometrics text to focus on microeconomic data structures allowing assumptions to be separated into population & sampling assumptions This second edition has been substantially updated & revised Improvements include a broader class of models for missing data problems; more detailed treatment of cluster problems an important topic for empirical researchers; expanded discussion of generalized instrumental variables (GIV) estimation; new coverage (based on the author's own recent research) of inverse probability weighting; a more complete framework for estimating treatment effects with panel data & a firmly established link between econometric approaches to nonlinear panel data & the generalized estimating equation literature popular in statistics & other fields New attention is given to explaining when particular econometric methods can be applied; the goal is not only to tell readers what does work but why certain obvious procedures do not The numerous included exercises both theoretical & computer-based allow the reader to extend methods covered in the text & discover new insights ...
