Re: [ECOLOG-L] Book list - Ishmael?

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Book list - Ishmael?

Oh, what the heck... might as well chime in on this thread as well :) One of my personal favorites, partially due to my childhood spent in Sulawesi, is a seldom read book written by that other evolution guy. Where natural science meets high adventure in a tale far less stuffy than 'Voyage of the

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Book list - Ishmael?

The books are an excellent treatise on environmental awareness, the need for rational strategies, and the importance of private action rather than reliance on government to solve our problems. There is a third Quinn book, The Story of B, that I think summarizes his thesis the best. His

[ECOLOG-L] Books

Late in the game, sorry for that. However, being an environmental historian before I began to pursue biology allowed access to some fine examples that fit in very well with your list. 3 that I can think of that I would not want to live without and that I can't seem to keep a copy of because I

[ECOLOG-L] Urban stream restoration as a front for ecological destruction?

Hello all, I have observed a disturbing trend in my home in Santa Cruz, California that I see echoed in this recent article from Berkeley, CA http://berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2009-02-19/article/32287?headline=Green-Neighbors-The-Richmond-Chainsaw-Massacre-Part-One In these cases, urban

[ECOLOG-L] Wallace's The Malay Archipelago

I strongly second this opinion. As someone who recently read The Malay Archipelago and is now making herself read Origins as kind of a bicentennial pilgrimage (akin to wearing a hair shirt or self-flagellation?), regardless of who first discovered evolution, Wallace is by far the better

Oh, O'Malley, where do I begin? And where do I leave off? There are so MANY tales to tell . . . In 1969, with the considerable assistance of a number of good people along the way (from professors to bulldozer operators), after something like fifteen years of blind alleys and failures, I began

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Wallace's The Malay Archipelago

Around Indonesia (no surprise!) there is more appreciation for Wallace than around here. More of us should learn about him and read his books. I strongly second this opinion. As someone who recently read The Malay Archipelago and is now making herself read Origins as kind of a bicentennial

I hope the essay pasted below will be acceptable to the listserv; the coding doesn't seem to go away, even when I save it as rich text (plain text or ASCII didn't work for some reason, but I have tried to delete all the links). If it doesn't, searching for the author and title should work.
