Winfield 520 $a"This book introduces readers to ecological informatics as an emerging discipline that takes into account the data-intensive nature of ecology, the valuable information to be found in ecological data, and the need to communicate results and inform decisions, including those related to research, conservation and resource management. At its core, ecological informatics combines developments in information technology and ecological theory with applications that facilitate ecological research and the dissemination of results to scientists and the public. Its conceptual framework links ecological entities (genomes, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, landscapes) with data management, analysis and synthesis, and communicates new findings to inform decisions by following the course of a loop. In comparison to the 2nd edition published in 2006, the 3rd edition of Ecological Informatics has been completely restructured on the basis of the generic conceptual f ramework provided in Figure 1. It reflects the significant advances in data management, analysis and synthesis that have been made over the past 10 years, including new remote and in situ sensing techniques, the emergence of ecological and environmental observatories, novel evolutionary computations for knowledge discovery and forecasting, and new approaches to communicating results and informing decisions"--Provided by publisher 650 0$aEcology$xComputer simulation 700 1 $aRecknagel, Friedrich,$d1950-$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0821722 700 1 $aMichener, William K. 776 08$iPrint version:$aRecknagel, Friedrich.$tEcological Informatics : Data Management and Knowledge Discovery.$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2017$z9783319599267 856 40$3SpringerLink$zConnect to resource$uhttp://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-59928-1 907 $a.b14414065$b03-03-22$c06-07-21 912 $a991003951479707536 996 $aEcological informatics$91829907 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale003$b06-07-21$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gsz $h0$i0 LEADER 02778nam 2200565 450 001 9910798023003321 005 20230808191642.0 010 $a0-8263-5667-2 035 $a(CKB)3710000000595668 035 $a(EBL)4406010 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001614071 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16340524 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001614071 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)12196616 035 $a(PQKB)11072189 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4406010 035 $a(OCoLC)939405856 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse91447 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4406010 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11156150 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL896919 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000595668 100 $a20160608h20162016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBad clowns /$fBenjamin Radford ; designed by Lila Sanchez 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aAlbuquerque, [New Mexico] :$cUniversity of New Mexico Press,$d2016. 210 4$d©2016 215 $a1 online resource (217 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8263-5666-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aA short history of the earliest clowns -- The despicable rogue Mr. Punch -- The unnatural nature of the evil clown -- Coulrophobia: Fear of clowns -- Bad clowns of the Ink -- Bad clowns of the Screen -- Bad clowns of the Song -- The carnal carnival: Buffoon boffing and clown sex -- Creepy, criminal, and killer clowns -- Activist clowns -- Crazed caged carny clowns -- The phantom clowns -- Troll clowns and the future of bad clowns. 330 $aBad clowns--those malicious misfits of the midway who terrorize, haunt, and threaten us--have long been a cultural icon. This book describes the history of bad clowns, why clowns go bad, and why many people fear them. Going beyond familiar clowns such as the Joker, Krusty, John Wayne Gacy, and Stephen King's Pennywise, it also features bizarre, lesser-known stories of weird clown antics including Bozo obscenity, Ronald McDonald haters, killer clowns, phantom-clown abductors, evil-clown panics, sex clowns, carnival clowns, troll clowns, and much more. Bad Clowns blends humor, investigation, and scholarship to reveal what is behind the clown's dark smile.
