The Process of Science, Revised Edition
Author: Anthony Carpi Anne EggerPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1257961322
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
"Through a series of examples drawn from biology, climate science, geology, environmental science, and other disciplines, the chapters in this book demystify the process of science, and the work that scientists do. The authors highlight the many methods used in science and the common characteristics that unite them all as "science". The examples illustrate that science is a human endeavor, and research is enriched and enlivened by the diversity of scientists themselves. This book is an excellent companion to any college-level introductory science course, emphasizing how we know what we know. It will also serve as an invaluable resource for undergraduate students preparing to do research for the first time or for anyone who might be interested in learning more about the process of science and scientific research. -- Book blurb.
Making and Unmaking of San Diego Bay
Author: Matthew R. KaserPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429946007
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
San Diego Bay is a shallow estuary surrounded by a large population center. Geological forces and changes in sea levels from the last Ice Age combine to make the Bay and the adjacent highlands and mesas. Human activity has also influenced the Bay. Humans built several major cities and filled significant parts of the Bay. This book describes the natural history and evolution of the San Diego Bay Area over the last 50 million years through the present and into the future. Key Features Summarizes a complex geological, geographical, and ecological history Reviews how the San Diego Bay has changed and will likely change in the future Examines the different roles of various drivers of Bay ecosystem function Includes the role of humans—both first people and modern populations—on the Bay Explores San Diego Bay as an example of general bay ecological and environmental issues Related Titles Howard GC and Kaser MR.

Making and Unmaking of Puget Sound
Author: Gary C. HowardPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429945914
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
The Puget Sound is a complex fjord-estuary system in Washington State that is connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Juan de Fuca Strait and surrounded by several large population centers. The watershed is enormous, covering nearly 43,000 square kilometers with thousands of rivers and streams. Geological forces, volcanos, Ice Ages, and changes in sea levels make the Sound a biologically dynamic and fascinating environment, as well as a productive ecosystem. Human activity has also influenced the Sound. Humans built several major cities, such as Seattle and Tacoma, have dramatically affected the Puget Sound. This book describes the natural history and evolution of Puget Sound over the last 100 million years through the present and into the future. Key Features Summarizes a complex geological, geographical, and ecological history Reviews how the Puget Sound has changed and will likely change in the future Examines the different roles of various drivers of the Sound’s ecosystem function Includes the role of humans—both first people and modern populations. Explores Puget Sound as an example of general bay ecological and environmental issues
Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay
Author: Gary C. HowardPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429946104
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
San Francisco Bay is a shallow estuary surrounded by a large population center. The forces that built it began with plate tectonics and involved the collision of the Pacific and North American plates and the subduction of the Juan de Fuka plate. Changes in the climate resulting from the last ice age yielded lower and then higher sea levels. Human activity influenced the Bay. Gold mining during the California gold rush sent masses of slit into the Bay. Humans have also built several major cities and filled significant parts of the Bay. This book describes the natural history and evolution of the SF Bay Area over the last 50 million years through the present and into the future. Key selling features: Summarizes a complex geological, geographical and ecological history Reviews how the San Francisco Bay has changed and will likely change in the future Examines the different roles and various drivers of Bay ecosystem function Includes the role of humans - both first peoples and modern populations - on the Bay Explores San Francisco Bay as an example of general bay ecolgical and environmental issues
IMAGINARY GROUPS
Author: CLIVE HAZELLPublisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 141849819X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
This book examines unconscious processes in groups. So frequently groups have a stated purpose that is undermined or compromised by covert processes operating outside the awareness of group members. This book shows how to identify these unconscious “imaginary groups” and offers ways and means of working with groups so as to make them safer, more productive places. This book should be of interest and use to anyone who works with groups--therapists, counselors, teachers, managers and leaders of all kinds.
