Book excerpt: When Lyn, a lifeguard at Beverley Road Baths, gets involved with prison officer Eddie, the affair disrupts his comfortable family: ambitious wife and beloved young daughter. Their passion brings to the surface Lyn's long-hidden feelings about her mother's death by drowning and - given her father's unwillingness to talk - focuses her quest for personal meaning into an audacious physical challenge. This modern love story has a vivid regional setting: the wilds of Spurn Point and the tides of Humberside. These lives revolve around the swimming baths and prison, pubs, parties and parks of Hull - and at the heart of the novel is the endurance of a young woman as she seeks out the truth about her life.

Download or read book Astroquizzical written by Jillian Scudder and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this enthralling cosmic journey through space and time, astrophysicist Jillian Scudder locates our home planet within its own ‘family tree’. Our parent the Earth and its sibling planets in our solar system formed within the same gas cloud. Without our grandparent the Sun, we would not exist, and the Sun in turn relies on the Milky Way as its home. The Milky Way rests in a larger web of galaxies that traces its origins right back to tiny fluctuations in the very early universe. Following these cosmic connections, we discover the many ties that bind us to our universe. Based around readers’ questions from the author’s popular blog ‘Astroquizzical’, the book provides a quirky guide to how things work in the universe and why things are the way they are, from shooting stars on Earth, to black holes, to entire galaxies. For anyone interested in the ‘big picture’ of how the cosmos functions and how it is all connected, Jillian Scudder is the perfect guide.

Download or read book Stochastic Population Dynamics in Ecology and Conservation written by Russell Lande and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2003 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All populations fluctuate stochastically, creating a risk of extinction that does not exist in deterministic models, with fundamental consequences for both pure and applied ecology. This book provides the most comprehensive introduction to stochastic population dynamics, combining classicalbackground material with a variety of modern approaches, including new and previously unpublished results by the authors, illustrated with examples from bird and mammal populations, and insect communities.Demographic and environmental stochasticity are introduced with statistical methods for estimating them from field data. The long-run growth rate of a population is explained and extended to include age structure with both deomgraphic and environmental stochasticity. Diffusion approximationsfacilitate the analysis of extinction dynamics and the duration of the final decline. Methods are developed for estimating delayed density dependence from population time series using life history data. Metapopulation viability and the spatial scale of population fluctuations and extinction risk areanalyzed. Stochastic dynamics and statistical uncertainty in population parameters are incorporated in Population Viability Analysis and strategies for sustainable harvesting.Statistics of species diversity measures and species abundance distributions are described, with implications for rapid assessments of biodiversity, and methods are developed for partitioning species diversity into additive components. Analysis of the stochastic dynamics of a tropical butterflycommunity in space and time indicates that most of the variance in the species abundance distribution is due to ecological heterogeneity among species, so that real communities are far from neutral.
