Foraging: Behavior and Ecology

University Of Chicago Press, 2007

Foraging is fundamental to animal survival and reproduction, yet it is much more than a simple matter of finding food; it is a biological imperative. Animals must find and consume resources to succeed, and they make extraordinary efforts to do so. For instance, pythons rarely eat, but when they do, their meals are large?as much as 60 percent larger than their own bodies. The snake?s digestive system is normally dormant, but during digestion ...

Vatican II: Did Anything Happen?2 reviews
John W. O'Malley, Joseph A. Komonchak, ...

Continuum, 2007

Compelling
Having lived through the 1960s I find it incredible that anyone could say that "nothing happened" at Vatican II. That probably stems from the desire to, precisely, turn back the clock to a preconciliar time when curia officials maintained the idea that the Catholic Church was the custodian of some eternal verities. With Vatican II we realized that many of those verities actually came up ...

Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (Berit Olam Series)
Stephen K. Sherwood

Foraging Theory4 reviews
David W. Stephens, John R. Krebs

Princeton University Press, 1987

a much cited classic
Foraging Theory is truly indispensable for anyone working on foraging of any kind. It is a great reference that I seem to keep going back to. My copy is nearly destroyed with notes and coffee stains. I would go so far as to label it unavoidable, because it is cited in so many papers and reviews. Thankfully, as a math-centered, unavoidable book, it is also a pleasure to read. I find that the ...
