2009 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice This acclaimed textbook is the most comprehensive available in the field of forest ecology. Designed for advanced students of forest science, ecology, and environmental studies, it is also an essential reference for forest ecologists, foresters, and land managers. The authors provide an inclusive survey of boreal, temperate, and tropical forests with an emphasis on ecological concepts across scales that range from global to landscape to microscopic. Situating forests in the context of larger landscapes, they reveal the complex patterns and processes observed in tree-dominated habitats. The updated and expanded second edition covers • Conservation • Ecosystem services • Climate change • Vegetation classification • Disturbance • Species interactions • Self-thinning • Genetics • Soil influences • Productivity • Biogeochemical cycling • Mineralization • Effects of herbivory • Ecosystem stability
Cycles, water, carbon.

A slow-boil, modern noir, Of Sound Mind finds audiometry technician Richard Keene settling into his new, center-city apartment just as he reaches his thirtieth birthday. Formerly confined to a mental institution, Richard struggles to adapt to a world of adult freedom. He possesses abnormally acute powers of hearing and suffers from claustrophobia, yet he feels unleashed to dare fate in high places — in short, he is a bundle of neuroses. When he believes he hears a strangulation murder committed behind the closed door of a neighboring apartment in his high-rise, Richard confronts a chance for redemption that he knew would come someday. For the incident eerily parallels the defining experience of his childhood, the night he heard — through the walls of his row house — the death struggle of the little girl next door. But just how reliable are Richard’s perceptions?
This review considers the agricultural, forestry, and ground-water monitoring literature and reports on the current designs of lysimeters that are relevant for use in forestry nutrient cycling studies. The review begins with a brief history of lysimetry and then presents a functional classification scheme which is used as a framework for discussing variations in lysimeter system design. The impact of lysimeter system design on sampling artefacts is briefly discussed and the literature on the effect of construction materials on soil solution contamination is tabulated. Statistical considerations of special interest involve the determination of sample size and distribution of the data. The appendix includes a translation of de la Hire's paper published in 1720, sometimes cited as an example of the earliest published work on lysimetry.
Offering a fresh look at interracial cooperation in the formative years of Jim Crow, The Uplift Generation examines how segregation was molded, not by Virginia’s white political power structure alone but rather through the work of a generation of Virginian reformers across the color line who from 1900 to 1930 engaged in interracial reforms. This group of paternalists and uplift reformers believed interracial cooperation was necessary to stem violence and promote progress. Although these activists had varying motivations, they worked together because their Progressive aims meshed, finding themselves unlikely allies. Unlike later incarnations of interracialism, this early work did not challenge segregation but rather helped to build and define it, intentionally and otherwise. The initiatives—whose genesis ranged from private one-on-one communications to large-scale interracial organizations—shaped Progressivism, the emergence of a race-conscious public welfare system, and the eventual parameters of Jim Crow in Virginia. Through extensive use of personal papers, newspapers, and other archival materials, The Uplift Generation shares the stories of these fascinating—yet often forgotten—reformers and the complicated and sometimes troubling consequences of their work.
If you think of biography as the static record of a man’s achievement, compiled during twenty or more mellowing years, William Frye’s book will have the impact of an electric shock. Marshall: Citizen Soldier is not to be leafed through idly, just as George Catlett Marshall himself cannot be regarded passively. That deceptively mild manner of his, as buck privates, brass hats and not a few politicos have discovered, only indifferently conceals a driving determination, backed by an inner steel core of moral integrity and joined with a lifetime’s habit of command. The general public has not given Marshall the excited, short-lived adulation that it has heaped upon more flamboyantly dramatic military men. But the people recognized in George Marshall the citizen’s soldier to whom they could safely entrust the most vital post in an America at war—Chief of Staff of the United States Army. The acceptance by Marshall early in 1947 of one of the greatest appointive offices in our government, that of Secretary of State, a job today of world significance, leaves no doubt either of the abilities of the man or of his devotion to the public weal. For the dearest wish of the erstwhile Chief of Staff had been a quiet retirement at the end of his Army duties. Marshall began his career in unorthodox fashion by graduating from the V.M.I. instead of West Point. Even on routine tours of duty in the Philippines, in the States and later in China he was singled out by senior officers as a young man of remarkable ability. During World War I, Marshall asked for command duty in France. His superiors rushed him abroad but they realized that Major Marshall was hard-to-get staff officer material, not slated for a regular front-line assignment. William Frye as Marshall’s biographer comes into touch with some of the knottiest questions of the war years. He does not sidestep issues and controversies; he meets them with decision.
