This multifaceted exploration of our current biodiversity crisis delivers vivid examples throughout, including features on some of nature's most compelling wildlife. Beginning with a brief introduction to environmental history, the text introduces the central concepts of evolution and ecology, and covers several major issues related to the conservation of biodiversity including extinction, climate change, sustainability, conservation law, and invasive species. It also touches on adjacent disciples such as economics and sociology as they relate to conservation. The text even includes practical advice on the decisions we make every day-how we spend our money, where we live and work, what we eat and buy. Throughout, Protecting Life on Earth underscores the ways in which our future is tied to that of Earth's threatened species, and demonstrates exactly why conservation is so vitally important for us all. 606 $aWildlife conservation$vTextbooks 606 $aEcology$vTextbooks 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aEcology 676 $a578.68 700 $aMarchetti$b Michael P$0889517 701 $aMoyle$b Peter B$0511512 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459036703321 996 $aProtecting life on Earth$92452487 997 $aUNINA LEADER 08569nam 22008055 450 001 996465382003316 005 20200705223600.0 010 $a3-540-69070-0 024 7 $a10.1007/3-540-63046-5 035 $a(CKB)1000000000234643 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000323982 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11259120 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000323982 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10303678 035 $a(PQKB)10794102 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-540-69070-2 035 $a(PPN)155237268 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000234643 100 $a20121227d1997 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aInformation Processing in Medical Imaging$b[electronic resource] $e15th International Conference, IPMI'97, Poultney, Vermont, USA, June 9-13, 1997, Proceedings /$fedited by James Duncan, Gene Gindi 205 $a1st ed. 1997. 210 1$aBerlin, Heidelberg :$cSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :$cImprint: Springer,$d1997. 215 $a1 online resource (XVI, 564 p.) 225 1 $aLecture Notes in Computer Science,$x0302-9743 ;$v1230 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a3-540-63046-5 327 $aAutomatic construction of eigenshape models by Genetic Algorithm -- Quadratic variation of deformations -- The softassign Procrustes matching algorithm -- Acoustic and elastic imaging to model disease-induced changes in soft tissue structure -- 2D intravascular E.I.T. using a non-iterative, non-linear reconstruction algorithm -- Optimal data types in optical tomography -- Using spatial-temporal images for analysis of gated cardiac tomographic data: The ?M-Mode?
