Описание: In the concluding chapter of his famous book on the theory of evolution by natural selection, Charles Darwin (1859) remarked that: When the views entertained in this volume on the origin of species, or when analogous views are generally admitted, we can dimly foresee that there will be a considerable revolution in natural history.

Описание: Much of the country’s recent population growth is situated in exurban areas. By many accounts exurbanization has become the dominant pattern of land development in the country and there is no indication it will slow in the foreseeable future (Theobald 2005; Brown et al. 2005; Glennon and Kretser 2005). By definition, exurban development takes place beyond the metropolitan fringe, often in rural and remote areas. The development of new exurban communities is a growing trend, especially in the West. In this case, developers and homebuilders seek large tracts of land, up to thousands of acres, in rural areas (typically within 50 miles of a large city) where they plan entire communities consisting of commercial, retail and residential land uses. Recreational amenities such as golf courses and hiking/biking trails are often included in these master-planned developments. Our philosophy is reflected in the book’s two objectives. First, we seek to document the extent and impacts of exurban development across the country. At issue is demonstrating why planners and the public-at-large should be concerned about exurbanization. We will demonstrate that even though exurbanization favors amenity rich regions, it affects all areas of the country through the loss of agricultural and grazing lands, impacts to watersheds and land modification. A summary of environmental impacts is presented, including the loss of wildlands and agricultural productivity, land modification, soil erosion, impacts to terrestrial hydrologic systems, the loss of biodiversity, nonnative and endangered species and other topics. Our second aim is to provide readers from diverse (nonscientific) backgrounds with a working knowledge of how and why exurbanization impacts environmental systems. This is accomplished by working closely to ensure contributors follow a specific outline for each chapter. First, contributors will spell out fundamental concepts, principles and processes that apply to their area of expertise (e.g., riparian areas). Contributors will move beyond a cursory understanding of ecological processes without overwhelming readers with the dense material found typically in specialized texts. For this reason, visuals and other support materials will be integral to each chapter. We have chosen contributors carefully based on their record as research scientists and acumen as educators. Second, once the mechanics have been laid out, authors will explain how and why land development in nearby areas influences ecosystems. Issues of interdependency, modification and adaptation, spatial scale and varying time horizons will be featured. Third, contributors will weigh in on the pros and cons of various land-development schemes. Fourth, authors will share their thinking on the merits of conservation devices such as wildlife corridors, open-space requirements and watershed management districts. Finally, each chapter will conclude by identifying pitfalls to avoid and highlighting "best practices" that will mitigate environmental problems or avoid them altogether. In sum, after completing each chapter, readers should have a firm grasp of relevant concepts and processes, an understanding of current research and know how to apply science to land-use decisions.
Foreword.- Chapter I There are movements of sublunary bodies in a fluid environment, which nobody dealt with so far.- Chapter II On the moments of consistent and fluid heavy bodies floating in fluids.- Chapter III Every fluid body among those which rest on the surface of the earth is heavy and exerts the force of its gravity, even when present and quiescent in its due place, in all the fluid of its kind.- Chapter IV There is no positive lightness in the nature of things.- Chapter V On the structure, the gravity, the equilibrium and the elastic force of air.- Chapter VI There is neither attraction nor attractive force in Nature.- Chapter VII On the nature and cause of fluidity.- Chapter VIII Investigation of the cause of the spontaneous elevation of small particles of water in the air above the surface of the water.- Chapter IX On the mutual binding of floating corpuscles and on their shunning.- Chapter X On the natural velocity of heavy bodies in equal times.- Chapter XI Why movements of heavy bodies are made unequal by full fluid environments.- Chapter XII On the necessity of vacuum.- Chapter XIII Explanation of the fact that watery bodies when they freeze increase in volume with an enormous force.
Описание: A color-illustrated field and natural history guide that treats 107 tiger beetle species found in North America above the Mexican border. This work includes biological accounts that emphasize points for identification, behavior, and habitat. Distribution maps show where various species and subspecies can be found.
