Product Description
The late Eugene Odum was a pioneer in systems ecology and is credited with bringing ecosystems into the mainstream public consciousness as well as into introductory college instruction. FUNDAMENTALS OF ECOLOGY was first published in 1953 and was the vehicle Odum used to educate a wide audience about ecological science.This Fifth Edition of FUNDAMENTALS OF ECOLOGY is co-authored by Odum's protege Gary Barrett and represents the last academic text Odum produced. The text retains its classic holistic approach to ecosystem science, but incorporates and integrates an evolutionary approach as well. In keeping with a greater temporal/spatial approach to ecology, new chapters in landscape ecology, regional ecology, and global ecology have been added building on the levels-of-organization hierarchy.Also, a final chapter entitled "Statistical Thinking for Students of Ecology" provides a quantitative synthesis to the field of statistics. Contemporary and engaging, this text brings clarity and specificity to the study of ecology in the twenty-first century. ... Read more

Millestone for industrial ecology
The history of ecology cannot be learnt without reference to the work of Odum, neither the important shifting that will be necessary to build sustainable societies.
Is this book the reader will find the fundamentals of ecological processes and why they are so important to maintain stability and diversity, including too the basic concepts of energy and material flows being studied in sustainable development issues.
It's a classic and fundamental book for students all over the world.

Product Description
This book is designed to help practitioners in translating theory to practice in the delivery of career counseling and services. The theoretical focus of the book is the cognitive information processing (CIP) approach to career problem solving and decision-making developed and applied at Florida State University since 1971. The CIP approach is currently being used in numerous educational and employment settings in North America and Europe. This book is the culmination of 29 years of experience in delivering career resources and services and in training practitioners in various settings. It provides a framework for integrating a variety of other career theories, thus increasing the likelihood that practitioners can use the CIP approach in practice. ... Read more

A good class book, but not a great reference
I had to use this book for my organic spec class. Its a great book to help you get the main ideas. However, it needs additional references. It pairs very well with the Silverstein book. Also, buy the international edition of the book elsewhere. Its only about forty bucks and it is spot on identical.

Best book ever.
This is the most important book anybody who has any associate with spectroscopy will ever buy. It has beautiful spectroscopy tables in the back so that you know exactly what comes at that frequency, the text is terrific, and they have examples in the back to help solidify the knowledge. If you're taking spectroscopy or just need a lab IR, NMR, MS reference, buy it. If you hate books and want to fail, shoot for another text.

A must-have for learning Spectroscopy!
I absolutely LOVE this book. I first bought it for my Junior year analytical chemistry class, and I still use it today in grad school. It is VERY good at explaining NMR theory. Anything I ever needed related to NMR or IR I found in this book. It is by far the most useful chemistry book I own.

Dated
Standard textbook outlining most spectroscopic techniques as taught at undergraduate level. However, contains an embarrassingly dated treatment of mass spectrometry which can not have been rewritten since the 1970s. No mention of the biggest MS techniques in use today (electrospray and MALDI), a glaring oversight especially in light of Fenn & Tanaka winning Nobel Prizes in 2002 for just these developments. And time-of-flight instruments having a mass range of 5000 and resolution of 200? Several years before this book was published, commercial machines were available with mass ranges well over 100,000 Da and resolutions of 10,000+. Not only poor, but misleading. Overall, a rather derivative book that seems to have been written largely by consultation of more authoritative work (probably an early edition of Williams & Fleming). ... Read more
