Скачать книгу - Feral

Part of the Zoological Society of London's Conservation Science and Practice Series, Applied Population and Community Ecology evaluates theory in population and community ecology using a case study of feral pigs, birds and plants in the high country of south-eastern Australia. In sequence, the book reviews the relevant theory and uses long-term research over a quarter of a century on the population ecology of feral pigs and then community ecology of birds and plants, to evaluate the theory. The book brings together into one volume, research results of many observational, experimental and modelling studies and directly compares them with those from related studies around the world. The implications of the results for future wildlife management are also discussed. Intended readers are ecologists, graduate students in ecology and wildlife management and conservation and pest managers.

Cassie's good friend Dawn is part of an organization that's trying to protect a colony of stray cats on the property of a condo community in Chadwick, New Jersey. The residents have gotten their backs up over the cat invasion, and Dawn has come to Cassie's grooming and boarding shop, Cassie's Comfy Cats, to ask for her help in talking sense to them. Not everyone's against the cats. Eccentric Sabrina Ward feeds them and has even created makeshift shelters for them in the nearby woods, infuriating her neighbors. Following a heated community meeting-in which Cassie and Dawn come up with a proposal-Sabrina's body is found in the woods. The police are calling her death an accident, but Cassie smells a rat. Narrowing down the list of suspects may be tougher than herding cats, but Cassie is determined to collar the killer before another cat lover has a fatal accident.

To opowiadanie bylo drukowane w odcinkach w „Przegladzie Spolecznym” (1906).2) Franek, czyli poetycka impresja na temat losu dziecka naznaczonego przez wojne. Mocna, do bolu ironiczna puenta – Bog miewa okrutne poczucie humoru, dlatego lepiej uwazac, o co sie go prosi.3) Moja obrona, czyli historia zycia ulicznika podana w formie spowiedzi. Przejmujacy wyklad kodeksu honorowego dziecka w konfrontacji z wyobrazeniami doroslych.
