Growth and Development: Ecosystems Phenomenology
ASIN: 023110829X |
Book Description
Ecology, Ulanowicz argues, needs a more robust central paradigm, and this book presents one derived from current work in information theory, ecosystem energetics, and complexity theory; the result is a theoretical and empirical tool kit better able to measure the developmental status of any living community.
Ranging widely to explore critical issues in the history of science -- order, causality, progress, laws -- Ulanowicz sets forth a coherent theoretical framework for ecology. He demonstrates that mechanical models can capture behavior of relatively simple, isolated populations, but fail to explain the rich, complex, and sometimes unpredictable mix of order and disorder that characterizes larger systems.
A challenge to existing Newtonian and Darwinian paradigms, this book suggests ways to bring ecology from the fringes to the center of science.

Basic Accounting for Ecosystem Managers and Philosophers.......2005-04-12
This is a book that begins simply with a few core ideas about how to monitor and track the flow of matter through ecosystems. Anyone with a background in either accounting or macro-economics will immediately see that Ulanowicz's simple calculations tracking energy flow through ecosystems, parrallel our best practices for tracking monetary flow through corporations and economies. Within this clear and quantifiable framework, The Ascendent Perspective then develops some less than obvious biological/economic notions: Throughput (the amount of energy flowing through an ecosystem), Overhead (alternate energy pathways) and Ascendency (orderliness of energy flows). With just these three termsm, Ulanowicz develops a convincing and empirically testable model of the growth and development of ecosystems,through four stages(i) growth, (ii) development, (iii) maturation and finally (iv) senescence. The model is illustrated with long-term ecological data from estuary ecosystems, which centered at the confluence of marine and freshwater, are notably complex and difficult to characterize. In the context of the case studies, concepts such as eutrophication (systems with *too much* nutrient inflow), ecosystem flexibility, and stability are introduced and illustrated as representing particular patterns of ecosystem growth. The focus on quantification, and large-scale, long-term behavior of ecosytems makes this book particularly suitable for environmental managers planning long term monitoring systems towards natural resource sustainability. Finally I have to mention the most counter-intuitive part of this small book. Beginning with some strictly mechanistic ideas and "ecosytem accounting" practices, the book gradually develops a counter-intuitively non-mechanistic model of ecosystems, and neatly links the observed behavior of ecosystems to some very old philosophical ideas such as Aristotles model of causation, and newer philosophical notions such as Poppers account of *propensities* (a probabilistic view of systems dynamics). You may not agree with Ulanowicz's ultimate conclusions -- but it's fascinating to watch the chain of reasoning unfold, one small step at a time -- beginning with some non-controversial methods for measuring ecosystems to increasingly surprising conclusions based on the methods. Less than 200 pages with no complex calculations -- it took me only a few hours to read the book -- but I found myself thinking about (and arguing for and against) its conclusions weeks afterwards. If you're interested in ecosystems, sustainability, complexity and prefer good questions rather than simple answers -- this is a book whose questions will engage you for a long time.
A revolution in science..........2003-05-09
This book will change the way you look at the scientific world.
Ulanowicz sets out towards creating a firm mathematical foundation for ecology, and in doing so, he exposes many faulty assumptions that dictate the direction of mainstream science. He doesn't stop with criticism, but instead suggests a new direction that can lead to fruitful advances in all areas of science, and proceeds to develop the beginnings of a new mathematical paradigm for studying complex, real-world systems.
Drawing on almost forgotten advances as well as modern research, Ulanowicz weaves together the soft, crude world of ecology with the "hard sciences" of thermodynamics and information theory and comes up with something truly novel. The discussion examines issues as fundamental as causality and the direction of time, and yet remains strongly tied to the real world with examples and data.
This book is absolutely indispensable for any scientist.
Excellent ecological book.......1999-11-03
Excellent view into the world of ecology and ecosystems! A must use for college and graduate ecology courses!
Book Description
“Fascinating. . . . One of the best books ever written on the rise and fall of a great college football coach.”
—Allen Barra, San Francisco Chronicle
The Lion in Autumn takes readers inside Penn StateÂ's storied football program as legendary coach Joe Paterno fights to turn his struggling team into a winner once again. In more than a half century at Penn State, Paterno has won more bowl games (21) than any other coach and more games (354) than all but one, en route to two national championships and five perfect seasons. But in the new millennium hard times arrived in Happy Valley. His Nittany Lions had losing seasons in four of five years, dropping sixteen of twenty-three games in 2003 and 2004. There were boos at Beaver Stadium and increasing calls for the aging Paterno to step down.
Award-winning sportswriter Frank Fitzpatrick followed JoePa through the 2004 season as the beloved coach struggled to save himself and his storied program. Fitzpatrick trailed Paterno from fund-raisers to the spring practices to the sidelines, detailing how the coach endured another losing season while building a team that would win the Orange Bowl and compete for the national championship in 2005. Interweaving stories from past seasons into the narrative, Fitzpatrick fleshes out the legend of Paterno. BACKCOVER: “Insightful. . . . Fascinating reading.” —Chicago Tribune
“A rather startling success. . . . Significant. . . . literary. . . . [Fitzpatrick] relies on his own tenacity and attention to detail with just the right amount of historical perspective.” —Pittsburgh Post- Gazette
“[Demystifies] the college football coach, moving behind the spectacle of Saturday afternoon to reveal flesh and soul and humanity.” —Buz Bisinger, The New York Times
“You donÂ't have to be a Penn State fan to appreciate it.” —ESPN.com
Download Description
"A legendary coach, a struggling team, and a storm of controversy: An award- winning sportswriter takes you inside a tumultuous season of Penn State football, in the bestselling tradition of A Season on the Brink. In his fifty years of coaching football at Penn State, Joe Paterno has become one of the most popular figures in American sports. Only one other coach has won more football games than Paterno; his team has won more bowl games than any other; and he does it all the way it was meant to be done, with his players succeeding in the classroom as well as on the field and in the pro ranks. Along the way, Paterno has transformed a once obscure agricultural college into a huge research university in the Big Ten, whose endowment now exceeds $1 billion, tens of millions of which ""JoePa"" has personally helped to raise. But lately the tide seems to have turned in Happy Valley. Since 2000, Paterno's Nittany Lions have lost more games than they've won, and accusations of off-the-field crimes have tarnished his program's reputation. Award-winning sports reporter Frank Fitzgerald followed Joe Paterno and his Nittany Lions through the 2004 season, from fundraisers in State College to the sidelines at Beaver Stadium. The Lion in Autumn delivers the complete story of this frustrating, tormenting, and ultimately exhilarating turning-point season and the history that led up to it. This is the chronicle of fifty phenomenal years-including the dynasties of undefeated and national championship teams that came before-and a riveting fight to reclaim a legacy."

On the Outside Looking In.......2007-08-25
One of the great joys of Penn State football fandom is reading books about Coach Paterno and his program. As both a fan and a reader, any disappointment I had with this one was chiefly due to the limited access given to the author. After a nine-loss season in 2003 that marked the nadir of precipitous competitive slide, and an increasing number of off-field incidents, Coach Paterno was understandably guarded -- even abandoning a longstanding tradition of meeting with reporters over cocktails the night before game day. (Stiffing reporters in this fashion was probably an unwise political move that helped to contribute to the "JoePa Must Go" sentiment.)
What then is a writer to do? One approach could have been to chronicle the growing division within the Penn State community -- former players, alumni, students, and the media -- over the tough times in Happy Valley, using a few colorful and outspoken characters as a catalyst for that division.
Instead, Mr. Fitzpatrick delivers a fairly straightforward chronicle of the 2005 season's aspirations and disappointments. He does an adept job for those readers who may not be familiar with the programs history, but for those readers who are the chapters on glories past provide no new insight and interrupts the narrative of the current season.
Penn State's decline was primarily attributable to lackluster recruiting that produced players unable to compete effectively in the Big Ten, and Mr. Fitzpatrick is spot on when he writes that Paterno was mindful of this: "Other teams had more talent than Penn State. But to admit that too often in public was to demean his players.... [He] understood that the quickest solution to the Nittany Lions' troubles would be to search harder and more selectively for talent." (p. 287)
Once again, Coach Paterno's refusal to publicly contemplate life after football is highlighted, where is prospective retirement activity has changed over the years from collecting stamps to cutting grass. With the almost immediate death of Alabama's Bear Bryant after his retirement, Mr. Paterno is quite candid about his deep seated fears: "I'm alive. I don't want to die. Football keeps me alive." (p. 276) This outlook is quite tragic and perplexing, given his successes off the field as an educator, philanthropist, community leader and family patriarch.
In short, this volume does not quite rise to the level of incisiveness of Ken Denlinger's "For the Glory" or Coach Paterno's decades-old autobiography, which is in desperate need of an update. But it reads quickly and provides and admirable journalistic account of Happy Valley's darkest days in the Paterno era.
Good Book, Fair To Both Sides.......2006-11-11
I just finished the book a couple of days ago and as it settled it my mind, two impressions came over me.
One is that there is a big part of Joe Paterno who still feels deep inside that he is not as good as his rich college classmates at Brown and how he has to prove to them that he belongs.
The second is that while Saint Joepa Paterno can talk all he wants about the excesses in college athletics, he is not willing to forgo any of the excesses that reward him. You don't see him turning away any of the huge salaries or the other luxuries, do you.
Paterno comes across as a control freak, if he is trying to prepare his players and assistant coaches for the outside world, why does he restrict acccess to them so tightly.
I am a big sports fan of college and pro sports but I have major issues with people glorifying coaches the way they do. They are just athletic coaches. They are not helping solve the problems of the world, just entertainers.
Joepa also comes across as humorless, a man who takes himself way too seriously.
It is a shame that Fitzpatrick was denied access to so many sources. It would have been interesting to find out why Joepa's son is unwilling or able to get a job on his own instead of depending on Daddy.
As noted above, Joepa was influenced greatly by his days at Brown. I would have loved to learn how in the world an Italian kid from Brooklynin the 40s made it to the Ivy League.
This is not a puff piece on the man, that is a great accomplishment by the author.
Good Synopsis of Joe Paterno and College Football.......2006-05-12
I hesitated picking up this book because even though it was published only one year ago, it is arguably outdated since Penn State football finally bounced back and had a very good year. That said, I am glad I read it because the book goes beyond the marketed "A Season with Penn State" storyline and provides a very good historical synopsis of Joe Paterno and his role in the history of college football.
Since Paterno has been around so long, people tend to forget his importance in the development of college football. Once he retires, he will undoubtedly be remembered in the same breath as Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, Daryl Royal, Bud Wilkinson and the other Legends (with a capital "L") of college football.
This book provides interesting insights into his personal history and the development of Penn State University, which Paterno literally transformed from a backwater agricultural school into a well-known and successful state school. I doubt any coach in college sports history has been more important to his school's development than Paterno has been to Penn State.
The parts about the actual season are fairly boring, since PSU was horrible the year Fitzpatrick followed them but it is worth picking up if you are a fan of college football history.
fair and balanced.......2006-02-03
ok, get past the fact that this is a book written by a sports writer, and understand there will be one or two malaprops and one or two missed typos. it's actually fairly well written. more importantly, it gives us something rather unusual: an even-handed look at joe paterno, and an even-handed retrospective of the program he has created. it's hard to find- so often we see bland - and blind- praise; other times, we see negative press from those with the opposite agenda. this book gets it right, and it's a must-read for anyone who considers himself a fan of penn state football.
An Inspiration of Passion and Leadership.......2005-12-30
This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding what leadership is all about. In a profession where winning is everything and a world where loyality and tradition are no longer valued, this book chronicles what happens to a highly successful Division 1A football coach when he is no longer winning games.
This book was written before the successful 2005 season for the Penn State football program and Joe Paterno being named AP Coach of the year on his 79th Birthday! All the more reason to read.
I think this book is an inspiration for Oldies everywhere. Many people who experience what Joe Paterno went through in the Autumn of their careers, will identify with the choices that he faced when he was no longer valued and respected after a long and successful career.
In this world of Free Agency, Joe Paterno is a throw back. This book reminds us that Values, Principles, Tradition, and Loyalty are what really matter.....even in today's world.

Great way to travel- just read about it.......2007-10-15
This is my third Bryson book, and so far so good. The AT book was a bit better, and the Short History was a bit broader, but so far they all follow a simple but successful format. Bryson goes somewhere, observes and then writes about it. The writing is not usually laugh out loud funny, but it has enough funny moments and humorous observations that when these are combined with the interesting facts tossed out by Bryson that you end up feeling that you got your money's worth.
Neither Here nor There starts with his second (major) trip to mainland Europe (he lived in semi-Europe, that is, England, for seventeen years) and he starts with an epic bus trip to view the northern lights in the Nome of Norway. At least I think it was Norway, it was some non-descript Scandinavian country. In any case he captures well the feeling of being on the edge of nowhere in a community so bland it makes your last Young Republican rally seem like the Watts riots. He alternates between being wryly bemused and clinically depressed, but weaves it all together when he finally does get to see the lights, in all their glory.
The wry bemusement versus clinical depression seems to be a common theme of the book, if not his life, and it helps you kind of root for him as he goes gallivanting like a trust fund baby through all of Europe. Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, Belgium, even Lichtenstein- he doesn't miss much. I think Spain and Greece got bypassed somehow, but pretty much everywhere else he hit. Even a brief hangout time at pre-war Bosnia, a bit surreal.
I really don't find any great weakness in the book, other than there is no traveling partner of any kind to give dimension. Some of the better bits are his reminisces, if they can be called that, of his earlier trip with his friend Katz. Katz is a character, to say the least, with all the in-your-face-humanity of a Homer Simpson without the FCC to keep him in check. He should've tried to get old Katz out of by-gosh Iowa for one more trek of the Old Country. We do get to run into him again in the Appalachians in another Bryson book, but Europe would've benefited by him, too, in my opinion.
I've only ever been to Austria (which he slams a bit) and Switzerland which he also slams a bit, but from my limited experience his observations seemed to be at least in the ballpark. Switzerland is very expensive (sehr teuer) and Austria is full of Austrians and both are full of beautiful mountains. And if you don't like German it doesn't matter- everybody speaks English, most likely as well as you do.
Very funny, but missing the "fun".......2007-09-24
Bill Bryson's humor is, as always, top-flight. One reviewer mentioned a series of jokes that he found "tiring" ... personally I found the caricatures very funny. Of course Bryson's comments are generalizations, many of them over-generalizations for humor's sake, many of them are grossly inaccurate I am sure. But the reality is that we *all* generalize, and while I understand the European point of view, I would ask the critics of this book who cry xenophobia to think about all of the over-generalizations Europeans have of America and Americans. But hey, we're all entitled to our own opinion, and humor perhaps more than anything is something that is lost in translation. I don't think the European audience is the one Bryson is targeting anyway, and I'm sure there exist many books in Europe that lampoon America to a degree that most Americans would similarly take offense at. C'est la vie.
While the humor itself rates 5 stars, the "travel" part is 3~4 stars at best. I do agree with the critics that note Bryson's somewhat formulaic style becomes a little weary after a while, and aside from the funny stories and interludes, Bryson's travels are actually on the dull side. In many ways, it felt like a sequel that was a watered down version of the original--I wondered if Bryson wouldn't have been better off writing about just his *original* youthful travels around Europe with Katz instead of this version we had--Europe: Part Deux. Bryson himself seemed to lose interest in his own travels around Italy, and often it felt like he was more interested to leave the last town than to enter the next one. By Istanbul, Bryson was clearly just going through the motions. Bryson's general lack of attachment to these places keeps the reader at arm's length as well.
In the end, I think the reader's opinion of this book will depend on how the humor is received. If you don't find it funny, this book will be a miserable read. For me, and I believe most people, the humor is hilarious enough and the flashbacks are interesting enough to carry the reader's interest from beginning to end. Still, I agree with those who say it does not match the level of Bryson's other works. The style remains but this book is missing a bit of the soul that makes Bryson's works such interesting and entertaining reads.
A gem for travelers, or travel-wannabes.......2007-06-27
It helps to already be a Bryson fan, but if you are new to the joys of reading his books, settle in, and enjoy. Bryson has been an outsider himself, having lived in England for many years. He moved back to the USA after two decades, tried it for a while, and moved back to England. He knows about being a stranger in a strange land. When he makes observation on the eccentricities, endearing qualities, advantages, and frustrating foibles of the places he visits (including those in the USA), he does it with humor, intelligence, a satirical bent, a very precise eye,insight--and did I say, humor? You will laugh out loud at least once. The paperback is inexpensive, the enjoyment immense.
The perenially likeable Bryson does it again.......2007-06-03
An account of the author's rambles across Europe. Bryson is always entertaining, and his writing alternates from downright hilarious to the point of absurdity to dealing with some very sobering statistics. This is a wonderful mix and he's a very gifted writer whose works sound like a really great story you once heard from a friend.
Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe.......2007-06-01
Having been in a few places in Europe, I can relate to what Bill Bryson is talking about. But if I had never been, I still could relate. His humour, the way he has of connecting past musings with his present surroundings is skillful and funny. I sit by myself and giggle at the way he takes a thought and stretches it like PlaDoh into a ridiculous mental play with him playing the star fool. He does not spare himself and he does not disappoint. We are entirely there with him. A wonderful read.
Book Description
Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to travel writing as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet and heads for Europe. Travelling with Stephen Katz--also his wonderful sidekick in A Walk in the Woods--he wanders from Hammerfest in the far north, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. As he makes his way round this incredibly varied continent, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before with caustic hilarity.

Customer Reviews:
awesome.......2005-05-04
I really enjoyed reading this book because it was so realistic. Annie Whitman is the best candidate at the Sweet Valley High School cheerleader try-outs,but she has the worst reputation at school.Co-captain,Jessica Wakefield,will do anything she can to make sure "Easy Annie" doesn't get picked for the squad. Will Annie live out her dream as a cheerleader, or will Jessica's closed mind get in the way? Find out in Sweet Valley HIgh:Wrong Kind of Girl.
Average Sweet Valley book...........2002-05-27
Annie has a bunch of boyfriends and has a bad reputation. Jessica Wakefield has probably had twice as many boyfriends and is the most popular girl in school. While reading this book I could not understand the difference between those two characters and why Jessica would hate Annie so much when they are just alike. Jessica has a wake-up call at the end, thank God.
yawn.......2001-08-03
Many early Sweet Valley High books were mega-boring,some more than others.This is pretty blah too.Not to mention Jessica was so much snobbier back then.She and the other cheerleaders refuse to let Annie,who sleeps with all the boys at school,into their prestigious squad!!!Annie is so upset,she tries to hurt herself and the guilt of that is unbearable for Jessica.
This is NOT a trashy book.......2001-04-25
I strongly disagree with the reader who said this book was trashy. It really taught me something about how our actions have consequences. Jessica made a horrible mistake with her actions, and then had to suffer through her guilt of what happened next. The whole 'Easy Annie' thing was just another way to teach us that we can turn our lives around when they seem to be at their worst. And further more, Francine Pascal is my favorite author and nothing that she writes is trashy.
I Love! Love! Love! this book.......2000-08-02
I absolutely loved this book. Its the best one in the series. I've read it at least 10 times. Annie Whitman wants to join the cheerleading squad but beautiful ruthless Jessica Wakefield is determined to stop her. Annie has a bad reputation and Jessica is afraid it will affect the whole squad. But only Jess's twin sister Elizabeth knows how special Annie really is. Does Jessica succeed in keeping off the squad or does her plan backfire? You'll just have to read the book to find out.
