Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Octavo, pp xii, 180. very clean internally, paperback, in very good condition. Dr Peter Moore's copy, with his signature on the front endpaper. [Ecologists are increasingly tackling difficult issues like global change, loss of biodiversity and sustainability of ecosystem services. These and related topics are enormously challenging, requiring unprecedented multidisciplinary collaboration and rapid synthesis of large amounts of diverse data into information and ultimately knowledge. New sensors, computers, data collection and storage devices and analytical and statistical methods provide a powerful tool kit to support analyses, graphics and visualizations that were unthinkable even a few years ago. New and increased emphasis on accessibility, management, processing and sharing of high--quality, well--maintained and understandable data represents a significant change in how scientists view and treat data. These issues are complex and despite their importance, are typically not addressed in database, ecological and statistical textbooks. This book addresses these issues, providing a much needed resource for those involved in designing and implementing ecological research, as well as students who are entering the environmental sciences. Chapters focus on the design of ecological studies, data management principles, scientific databases, data quality assurance, data documentation, archiving ecological data and information and processing data into information and knowledge. The book stops short of a detailed treatment of data analysis, but does provide pointers to the relevant literature in graphics, statistics and knowledge discovery. The central thesis of the book is that high quality data management systems are critical for addressing future environmental challenges. This requires a new approach to how we conduct ecological research, that views data as a resource and promotes stewardship, recycling and sharing of data.].

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book introduces readers to ecological informatics as an emerging discipline that takes into account the data-intensive nature of ecology, the valuable information to be found in ecological data, and the need to communicate results and inform decisions, including those related to research, conservation and resource management. At its core, ecological informatics combines developments in information technology and ecological theory with applications that facilitate ecological research and the dissemination of results to scientists and the public. Its conceptual framework links ecological entities (genomes, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, landscapes) with data management, analysis and synthesis, and communicates new findings to inform decisions by following the course of a loop. In comparison to the 2nd edition published in 2006, the 3rd edition of Ecological Informatics has been completely restructured on the basis of the generic conceptual framework provided in Figure 1. It reflects the significant advances in data management, analysis and synthesis that have been made over the past 10 years, including new remote and in situ sensing techniques, the emergence of ecological and environmental observatories, novel evolutionary computations for knowledge discovery and forecasting, and new approaches to communicating results and informing decisions.

Folded Sheet. Zustand: Very Good. Single folded sheet (7 inches tall x 5-1/2 inches wide), printed on cream colored, watermarked paper, pp. (4), titled on front "The Classes of 1929 and 1930 / of / Swarthmore College / Under the Direction of / Bretta Capster Lucas / Present / Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night; or, / What You Will' / Friday and Saturday Evenings, / May 31st and June 1st, 1929 / Collection Hall" with Mitchener headlining as Orsino, Duke of Illyria on p. (2). Program with light wear and finger soil, creasing and some pin holes near top edge from a previous mounting. Michener won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for his book "Tales of the South Pacific" and left most of his estate and book copyrights to Swarthmore College, where he earned his bachelor's degree. A very uncommon piece of Mitchener memorabilia and a pleasant literary association of the two writers. With no other original copies located, it's unlikey that another copy will be seen any time soon.
