DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first—and only—source to integrate the multiple disciplines and professions exploring the many ways people interact with the natural and designed environments in which we live. Comprising more than 250 informative entries, The Encyclopedia of Human Ecology examines the interdisciplinary and complex topic of human ecology. Knowledge gathered from disciplines that study individuals and groups is blended with information about the environment from the fields of family science, geography, anthropology, urban planning, and environmental science. At the same time, professions intended to enhance individual and family life—marriage and family therapy, clinical psychology, social work, dietetic and other health professions—are represented alongside those concerned with the preservation, conservation, and management of the environment and its resources. How rampant are eating disorders among our youth? Are AIDS educational programs effective? What problems do adolescents transitioning into adulthood encounter? Here, four leading scholars in the field have assembled a team of top-tier psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and other experts to explore these and hundreds of other timely issues.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom investigations into nanoscale and cosmological domains, to pronouncements on "The End of Science" that have attracted recent attention in the popular press, the boundaries of human understanding are generally assumed to coincide with progress in the traditional disciplines. However, this disciplinary perspective has led to a balkanization of knowledge in which the variables we seek to measure and the methods we use to analyze the complex problems facing institutions and society fail to follow causal pathways and connections that cut across disciplinary boundaries.The Encyclopedia of Human Ecology represents the rediscovery of a concept that was first advocated around 1937 by H. G. Wells to overcome this fragmentation of knowledge. The work is the result of close cooperation among a team of resource scientists, economists, other social scientists, climatologists, and city planners to achieve a new synthesis. Building a system of linked data sets and establishing causal connections and structural analogies among societal phenomena that are typically studied in isolation is one of the great challenges facing science in the 21st century. In the process, a new field of human ecology is being created for such phenomenon- and problem-driven, rather than discipline-oriented, research.The Encyclopedia presents completely new bodies of theory, methods, and results in the fields of belief systems, the international financial system, population analysis, method

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEarth is home to an estimated 8 million animal species, 600,000 fungi, 300,000 plants, and an undetermined number of microbial species. Of these animal, fungal, and plant species, an estimated 75% have yet to be identified. Moreover, the interactions between these species and their physical environment are known to an even lesser degree. At the same time, the earth’s biota faces the prospect of climate change, which may manifest slowly or extremely rapidly, as well as a human population set to grow by two billion by 2045 from the current seven billion. Given these major ecological changes, we cannot wait for a complete biota data set before assessing, planning, and acting to preserve the ecological balance of the earth. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the scientific and engineering basis of the systems ecology of the earth in 15 detailed, peer-reviewed entries written for a broad audience of undergraduate and graduate students as well as practicing professionals in government, academia, and industry. The methodology presented aims at identifying key interactions and environmental effects, and enabling a systems-level understanding even with our present state of factual knowledge.
