Найти книгу: "Roots of Ecology"

Ecology is the centerpiece of many of the most important decisions that face humanity. <i>Roots of Ecology</i> documents the deep ancestry of this now enormously important science from the early ideas of Herodotos, Plato, and Pliny, up through those of Linnaeus and Darwin, to those that inspired Ernst Haeckel's mid-nineteenth-century neologism ecology. Based on a long-running series of regularly published columns, this important work gathers a vast literature illustrating the development of ecological and environmental concepts, ideas, and creative thought that has led to our modern view of ecology. <i>Roots of Ecology</i> should be on every ecologist's shelf.

Olen Rootsis elanud seitse aastat, alguses opilasena, hiljem lapsehoidjana, praegu ammaemanda ja emana. Tunneme end perega siin hasti, peame oma kodumaaks tervet Euroopa Liitu ning Stockholmgi on sisuliselt Tallinna naaberlinn.Rootsi on maailma parim riik, selles on enamik kohalikke kindlalt veendunud. On siinne uhiskond toesti valuta sundinud ja udini turvaline? Olen palju oppinud ja arenenud – vabanema eelarvamustest ja vooravihast, austama erinevaid vaateid, elama tervislikumalt, olema efektiivne. Mida kauem siin elan, seda enam veendun, et Rootsis kaib pidev sees- ja valispidine uuendamine. Pingeid ja stressi on igapaevaelus toepoolest vahem. On tunne, nagu oleks kodumaa laienenud ning selle nimeks on Rootsi-Eesti.Vordoiguslikkus, mitmekultuurilisus ja kakskeelsus on teemad, millest ei saa ma oma Rootsist kirjutades ule ega umber. Jutustan ka igapaevaelust, kuhu mahuvad peale koige muu kinnisvaralood, too sunnitushaiglas, laste jalgpallitrennid, meedia ja reisisoovitused.

Sugavalt rahvuslikult meelestatud arstiteaduse uliopilane teenib ainsa eestlasena aega Rootsi kaitsevaes Solleftea linnas, kui teda tabab pime armastus nagu valk selgest taevast. Romaan kirjeldab varvikalt ja uksikasjalikult 22-aastase eesti noormehe ja 19-aastase rootsi tutarlapse armastuslugu vaikeses Rootsi linnas. Armastus ei kusi luba ja mis sellest saab voi ei saa, kui vastukaaluks seatakse eesti keel ja rahva ning riigi saatuslik tulevik, seda romaan peegeldabki. Imelik telefonikone 57 aastat hiljem avab voimatuid uksi. Autor jargib omal viisil Anton Hansen Tammsaare ja Maimu Bergi paika seatud eesti traditsiooni. Romaani kohta voikski oelda, et see on kolme autori palgeline pimeda armastuse triloogia.

We are facing a future of unbounded complexity. Whether that complexity is harnessed to build a world that is safe, pleasant, humane and profitable, or whether it causes us to careen off a cliff into an abyss of mind-numbing junk is an open question. The challenges and opportunities–technical, business, and human–that this technological sea change will bring are without precedent. Entire industries will be born and others will be laid to ruin as our society navigates this journey. There are already many more computing devices in the world than there are people. In a few more years, their number will climb into the trillions. We put microprocessors into nearly every significant thing that we manufacture, and the cost of routine computing and storage is rapidly becoming negligible. We have literally permeated our world with computation. But more significant than mere numbers is the fact we are quickly figuring out how to make those processors communicate with each other, and with us. We are about to be faced, not with a trillion isolated devices, but with a trillion-node network: a network whose scale and complexity will dwarf that of today’s Internet. And, unlike the Internet, this will be a network not of computation that we use, but of computation that we live in. Written by the leaders of one of America’s leading pervasive computing design firms, this book gives a no-holds-barred insiders’ account of both the promise and the risks of the age of Trillions. It is also a cautionary tale of the head-in-the-sand attitude with which many of today’s thought-leaders are at present approaching these issues. Trillions is a field guide to the future–designed to help businesses and their customers prepare to prosper, in the information.
