A celebration of ecology’s variety—as both subject and research endeavor—and a call for intradisciplinary understanding.  Open any ecology textbook, and you will find a heterogeneous mix of material that puzzles many newcomers. How do levels of organization from individual organisms to ecosystems, abstract concepts like food webs and biodiversity, and applied topics, like climate change and conservation, all fit together? New ecological research can be equally puzzling. Ecology journals publish studies using different methods in different study systems to ask different questions and achieve different goals. Is this all really Ecology? Yes, ecologist Jeremy Fox says in this eye-opening book. Ecology contains multitudes, and that is its power. In an essential book for all ecologists, Fox builds on insights developed in his popular blog, Dynamic Ecology, to argue that it is better for a scientific discipline to be messy than monolithic.  Analyzing and accessibly explaining a broad range of scientific literature, Fox shows that ecology grew from disparate sources with profoundly different motivations, methods, and goals. We see the differences in those origins reflected in today’s research, in the pull between those who want to establish ecological laws akin to physical ones and those who see ecology’s value as inherent in its species- or system-specific case studies. Neither group, Fox argues, is doing ecology wrong. Instead, he says, the strength of this science—as in most ecological systems—is diversity. It is good when two ecologists look at similar problems differently. We now need the community to know enough about those different approaches to improve how they work together.

En busca del padre Alfons Roig Izquierdo no es una biografía convencional. Es un libro de memorias, un esfuerzo personal por comprender, capturar y conmemorar la esencia de alguien que nació en circunstancias humildes, se preparó para una carrera modesta como párroco y terminó siendo una figura significativa como pedagogo, defensor del arte moderno y confidant de un número sorprendente de artistas, poetas y escritores tanto españoles como europeos, así como un padre espiritual para, entre otros, el autor de este libro.Su defensa del arte moderno le valió una reputación de revolucionario dentro de la jerarquía eclesiástica, y parece la razón por la que fue relevado de su cargo de párroco y, sin ser expulsado formalmente, privado de toda posibilidad de ejercer un papel formal dentro de la Iglesia.La época que vivió Roig fue sin duda una de las más turbulentas de la historia del país. Revolucionario en su forma de pensar y simpatizante de la Segunda República, durante la Guerra Civil se vio obligado a refugiarse en la zona rebelde para salvar su vida, escapando del destino de muchos sacerdotes que fueron asesinados durante aquel terrible período.El padre Alfons Roig (1903-1987) debe ser considerado una de las figuras más destacadas de la historia cultural y pedagógica del siglo XX en España y — más allá de las fronteras del país— en Europa Occidental.

Scenes from Life is a collection of stories and vignette set in a variety of countries. They describe encounters with people and with the often strange worlds they —and we— inhabit. Some of those brushes are the stuff of adventure.Two involve the author''s close encounters with death. There are tales of human kindness, but also of cruelty. One is a narrative told to the author by a survivor of the Holocaust. All accounts in the collection are true in that they are taken from life and are a record of memory and occasional field notes.As many truths exist as there are people to express them. They are ways of being in and seeing the world. Had someone else encountered the experiences and the characters that appear in this book, they would have written them differently, or perhaps not written them at all and either consigned them to capricious anecdote or to oblivion. So the sense in which these tales are true is necessarily the author''s. They are offered to you, the reader in the hope that you will find in them some meaning of your own.As Thoreau observed: "Nothing was ever so unfamiliar and startling to a man as his own thoughts." We are alien first to ourselves.
