Our Natural History: The Lessons of Lewis and Clark
Daniel B. Botkin
Softcover, Oxford University Press, USA (April 16,
2004)
ISBN: 0195168291
When it comes to nature and to understanding environmental issues, those
who do not measure do not know. We live in the scientific and information
age and think we are drowning in data and that therefore we know what we need
to know. But when it comes to environment — especially living things
we care about in the environment — this is not true. |

Daniel B. Botkin

How many hours does a whale sleep?

In this delightful book, these seemingly
simple, almost childlike questions lead to a series of rich meditations
on science, nature, and human nature.

Discordant Harmonies: A New Ecology for the 21st Century
Daniel B. Botkin
Softcover, Oxford University Press, USA;
(March 11, 1992)
ISBN 0-19-507469-6
The New York Times wrote that this book "is considered by many ecologists to be the classic text of the [environmental] movement." It is about the idea of nature, and makes the point that our ideas about nature are 4,000 years old, dominated by the ancient
myth of the Balance of Nature. Even our “scientific” approaches
to understanding nature and solving environmental problems are based on
this belief, rather than on scientific fact. |

Forest Dynamics: An Ecological Model
Daniel B. Botkin
Hardcover, Oxford University Press, USA (February
11, 1993)
ISBN: 0-19-506555-7
Over the past two decades, the author has developed and refined an extremely
useful simulation model of forest growth. The JABOWA model was the first
successful application of digital computer simulation to a complex natural
ecosystem. Effects of global warming, acid rain, and commercial forest
harvesting practices have been analyzed with this model. Offering a fresh
perspective on ecological phenomena, Forest Dynamics provides all the
information necessary to understand and use the model.
Please visit our JABOWA page for
more information on using the modeling software.

and been forced to seek them from a far.
