Editorial Review

Product Description
Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess is known primarily as the originator of the term "deep ecology", although his thoughts and approaches have been touched and shaped by all the major events of our times. His precise thinking has been applied to all of the great contemporary dilemmas and is central to the emergence of ecology as a political force. Through a series of conversations spanning Naess's complex life, David Rothenberg presents the man of natural philosophy in his own words. "Is It Painful To Think?" is the story of a thinker of the 20th century. What emerges is the personal vision of a life imbued with ecology, which reveals in most human terms how respect for and contact with the natural world can provide the foundation for a total view of the vast problems of humanity and our place in the world. ...

Product Description
Each of Foster's books has generated vigorous discussion, but in "The Irish Story" he breaks fresh ground even by his own standards. Driven by his sense of the seriousness of history and a fascination with those who distort it, "The Irish Story" examines how key facets of Ireland's past have been tampered with to serve a multiplicity of purposes. "The Irish Story" is endlessly varied, surprising and funny. It is also a rallying cry for those anxious that contemporary Ireland may be in danger of turning itself into a meretricious historical theme-park. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Pleasant revelation
I enjoyed this book immensely, but probably for the wrong reasons. The book is a bit chewy in places, but stick with it, as it's surprisingly enjoyable on it's own merits. On a more selfish, sadistic note, I had been mecilessly bludgeoned on a regulary basis by a work colleague, a second generation descendant of the Emerald Isle, with tales ofCeltic martyrdom and Anglo tyranny, and none of which I felt I had the right to dispute. Then I read the book. After ten minutes of lively debate, challenging all he knew as 'fact', he has not spoken to me since. No-one had ever shut him up before. Heaven. (Incidentally, I have no intention of offending any Irish folk). But back to the point, I found this to be a rather good read.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fact and fiction
Irish people of all persuasions and in all walks of life have developed a talent for building up a national history to their liking and drawing conclusions from it. Roy Foster's essays are about some of the ways in which Ireland's history has been interpreted, embroidered, exploited and packaged. I think everyone will agree there are cogent reasons for preserving the distinction between history and "national fiction". Ultimately, poor history makes poor propaganda, and propaganda in any case is a shabby use to put something as precious as a nation's history. This book is essential reading for people with an interest in Ireland. (I also recommend strongly the same author's earlier "Modern Ireland 1600-1972".)

5-0 out of 5 stars Brilliant-Making Up Irish Tales of Past & Present
R. F. "Roy" Foster author of 'W. B. Yeats: The Apprentice Mage,' 'Charles Stewart Parnell: The Man and His Family' and 'Modern Ireland,' has written this experience and interpetation into Irish history and literature. He does a fine job of it. His bravery in massacring every sacred Irish cow as one would have fun reading it. It leaves you with a warm, passionate, giggly feeling. It's entertainingly brilliant look at the past and present Ireland. I particularly love the chapters and passages on Theme-parks & Histories (with some warning from Foster on expliotation); the chapters on Yeats; When the Newspapers Have Forgotten Me: Yeats, Obituarists and Irishness; Selling Irish Childhoods: Frank McCourt & Gerry Adams; and, Remembering 1798. They're totally smothered in clichés and lots of traditional tidbits of fond or fatal memories, known to some as the Irish experience.


Foster cleverly works moments of Ireland's past into narratives of Irish culture on myth, folklore, ghost stories and romance. The result is from a varied interpetation of opinionated and right down funny interlinking essays. In Theme-parks and Histories-Foster writes of the Irish are to remember or commemorate anything. It is worth remembering the upward curve of Irish cultural achievement-referring to W. B. Yeats, Hugh Leonard, Ezra Pound, Cashel Heritage Society and the 2,000-acre Famine Theme Park in Knockfierna Hill west of Limerick. Irish history, the most distinctive achievement for it. His suggestion to form a monument to Amnesia and forget where they put it. As a historian he would be shocked, but as an Irishman he would be attracted to the idea.Foster shows no mercy on his view of manipulating Irish history on political places and Irish poverty and oppression as a commerically packaged heritage park. His exploration of Yeats' authority of the Irish story's fitting moments as the voice of his Ireland countrymen.


Foster leaves teeth-marked criticism of Frank McCourt (Angela's Ashes) and Gerry Adams and their devil may care attittude of taking hostages for fortune. Transcending into the bestsellerdom of Irish childhoods. Simply a technique of marketing where Irish version brag and whimper about the woes of their early years' experience. I find this to be an entertaining reading. In some places a bit wordy, but good telling of Irish culture. You may hate or love it. But, if your interest is in Irish history and literature it's quite essential.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent read for all who are serious about Irish history
This book ought to be on the shelf of anyone with an interest in Irish history. Foster has done an excellent job at making his points about the various 'uses' that history in Ireland has been employed for. From downright propaganda to 'memoirs' masquerading as vague truths he unleashes the power of clear thinking and valid sources. For so long Irish history has been treated as 'story' and this book attempts and succeeds in telling the difference. It is so refreshing to see something sensible in print! It is a great source book or reference and could also be read by delving into the different subjects in the index. I would recommend this for all who are involved in getting to know the real history of Ireland and the Irish and how some Irish 'history' came to be written in the first place.

5-0 out of 5 stars THE MARKETING OF THE EMERALD ISLE-TONGUE-IN-CHEEK STYLE
Porter's tongue-in-cheek treatment of the marketing of Ireland is refreshing after an avalanche of Irish hype came from unscrupulous little publishers.The Disneynification of Ireland ,apparently propelled by American ad agencies for the IrishTourist Board,is treated by Porter correctly as hype to snareinnocent Irish-Americans.Porter gets almost every hilarious Irish twist of recent decadesin this collection of exposes, including the hilarious, almost unbelievable marketing of the potato famine in Disney-like theme parks.Unfortunately, he closed his collection of revionist chapters without pointing to the biggest Irish hype of all -the invention and collapse of " The Celtic Tiger", based on runaway inflation and a Dublin stock market bubble that aped the rise and fall of America's Nasdaq.Foster's book is a must if you wish a clearer view of the Irish . ...

Product Description

The three main missions of any organism--growing, reproducing, and surviving--depend on encounters with food and mates, and on avoiding encounters with predators. Through natural selection, the behavior and ecology of plankton organisms have evolved to optimize these tasks. This book offers a mechanistic approach to the study of ocean ecology by exploring biological interactions in plankton at the individual level. The book focuses on encounter mechanisms, since the pace of life in the ocean intimately relates to the rate at which encounters happen.

Thomas Kiørboe examines the life and interactions of plankton organisms with the larger aim of understanding marine pelagic food webs. He looks at plankton ecology and behavior in the context of the organisms' immediate physical and chemical habitats. He shows that the nutrient uptake, feeding rates, motility patterns, signal transmissions, and perception of plankton are all constrained by nonintuitive interactions between organism biology and small-scale physical and chemical characteristics of the three-dimensional fluid environment.

Most of the book's chapters consist of a theoretical introduction followed by examples of how the theory might be applied to real-world problems. In the final chapters, mechanistic insights of individual-level processes help to describe broader population dynamics and pelagic food web structure and function.

Product Description

News headlines are forever reporting diseases that take huge tolls on humans, wildlife, domestic animals, and both cultivated and native plants worldwide. These diseases can also completely transform the ecosystems that feed us and provide us with other critical benefits, from flood control to water purification. And yet diseases sometimes serve to maintain the structure and function of the ecosystems on which humans depend.

Gathering thirteen essays by forty leading experts who convened at the Cary Conference at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in 2005, this book develops an integrated framework for understanding where these diseases come from, what ecological factors influence their impacts, and how they in turn influence ecosystem dynamics. It marks the first comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the rich and complex linkages between ecology and disease, and provides conceptual underpinnings to understand and ameliorate epidemics. It also sheds light on the roles that diseases play in ecosystems, bringing vital new insights to landscape management issues in particular. While the ecological context is a key piece of the puzzle, effective control and understanding of diseases requires the interaction of professionals in medicine, epidemiology, veterinary medicine, forestry, agriculture, and ecology. The essential resource on the subject, Infectious Disease Ecology seeks to bridge these fields with an ecological approach that focuses on systems thinking and complex interactions.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book and great buy!
I bought this book for my grad. student daughter who spent 9 months in Indonesia studying orangutans. It's a great book and a great bargain. Many of the book's wonderful photographs are similar to photos she emailed home. This book helped us "experience" her great adventure.

2-0 out of 5 stars Wimps out where it counts the most
This book has gorgeous photos that will make you fall in love with orangutans - the people of the forest. It also has very good explanations about the animal and forest characteristics. HOWEVER, the authors have missed a huge opportunity to move people to protect this endangered great ape. The book's conclusion is very disappointing, in that it pretty much lets the oil palm companies off the hook for their wanton destruction of the orangutan's rainforest. (Since this book promotes the WWF perspective, one has to wonder if some corporate "partnership" is involved here.)

If someone wants an accurate portrayal of this spectacular animal -- and the spectacular annihilation of its habitat -- I strongly recommend "Thinkers of the Jungle: The Orangutan Report" by Gerd Schuster, Willie Smits, and Jay Ullal. Be warned: "Thinkers" has some disturbing pictures of the cruelty being inflicted, to this day, on our close relatives. There is no corporate greenwash in this book.Thinkers of the Jungle ...
