The book describes and discusses the numerical methods which are successfully being used for analysing ecological data, using a clear and comprehensive approach. These methods are derived from the fields of mathematical physics, parametric and nonparametric statistics, information theory, numerical taxonomy, archaeology, psychometry, sociometry, econometry and others. Compared to the first edition of Numerical Ecology, this second edition includes three new chapters, dealing with the analysis of semiquantitative data, canonical analysis and spatial analysis. New sections have been added to al

Présents dans l'imaginaire collectif comme un peuple de marins, les Bretons ont en fait bien souvent ignoré la mer. Après avoir présenté les circonstances et les modalités de l'arrivée de leurs ancêtres en Armorique dès la fin de l'époque romaine, Jean-Christophe Cassard dresse un constat accablant : vers l'an mille, les Bretons ont perdu toutes leurs traditions maritimes. Il faudra attendre plusieurs siècles avant que la péninsule ne renaisse à l'activité nautique. En l'absence de données statistiques utilisables avant la fin du Moyen Âge, cet ouvrage tire parti des rares indications sur les traversées des saints venus de (Grande-)Bretagne, des découvertes archéologiques le long des côtes, de la documentation écrite médiévale évoquant les choses de la mer, mais aussi des textes littéraires ou légendaires. En corroborant l'idée que les phases de prospérité de la péninsule ont, dans le passé, toujours correspondu à des périodes d'ouverture aux horizons océaniques, il voudrait contribuer à la réflexion des Bretons d'aujourd'hui sur un avenir possible qui rendrait aux flots leur importance oubliée.

Tegenwoordig kunnen evolutiebiologen de stamboom van de evolutie vrijwel vanaf de wortels reconstrueren via de analyse van DNA. Lewin laat zien hoe moderne genetica leidt tot nieuwe inzichten in evolutionaire veranderingen.

In Black Corona, Steven Gregory examines political culture and activism in an African-American neighborhood in New York City. Using historical and ethnographic research, he challenges the view that black urban communities are "socially disorganized." Gregory demonstrates instead how working-class and middle-class African Americans construct and negotiate complex and deeply historical political identities and institutions through struggles over the built environment and neighborhood quality of life. With its emphasis on the lived experiences of African Americans, Black Corona provides a fresh and innovative contribution to the study of the dynamic interplay of race, class, and space in contemporary urban communities. It questions the accuracy of the widely used trope of the dysfunctional "black ghetto," which, the author asserts, has often been deployed to depoliticize issues of racial and economic inequality in the United States. By contrast, Gregory argues that the urban experience of African Americans is more diverse than is generally acknowledged and that it is only by attending to the history and politics of black identity and community life that we can come to appreciate this complexity. This is the first modern ethnography to focus on black working-class and middle-class life and politics. Unlike books that enumerate the ways in which black communities have been rendered powerless by urban political processes and by changing urban economies, Black Corona demonstrates the range of ways in which African Americans continue to organize and struggle for social justice and community empowerment. Although it discusses the experiences of one community, its implications resonate far more widely.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.
