Ecological Feminism
This anthology is the first such collection to focus on the exclusively philosophical aspects of ecological feminism.It addresses basic questions about the conceptual underpinnings of `women-nature' connections, and emphasises the importance of seeing sexism and the exploitation of the environment as parallel forms of domination.Ecological Feminism is enriched by the inclusion of essays which take differing views of the importance and nature of ecofeminism.It will be an invaluable resource for courses on women's studies, environmental studies and philosophy.

Ecological Complexity
Complexity has received substantial attention from scientists and philosophers alike.There are numerous, often conflicting, accounts of how complexity should be defined and how it should be measured.Much less attention has been paid to the epistemic implications of complexity, especially in Ecology.How does the complex nature of ecological systems affect ecologists' ability to study them?This Element argues that ecological systems are complex in a rather special way: they are causally heterogeneous.Not only are they made up of many interacting parts, but their behaviour is variable across space or time.Causal heterogeneity is responsible for many of the epistemic difficulties that ecologists face, especially when making generalisations and predictions.Luckily, ecologists have the tools to overcome these difficulties, though these tools have historically been considered suspect by philosophers of science.The author presents an updated philosophical account with an optimistic outlook of the methods and status of ecological research.

Ecological Restoration
Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. Ecological Restoration provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies being used around the world to reverse human impacts to landscapes, ecosystems, and species.This book aims to improve the outcomes of restoration practice by strengthening the connections between ecological concepts and real-world decision-making: students explore each topic considering both research-based knowledge and lessons learned from nineteen actual restorations.Details of these ecological restorations, from underwater reefs to mines in hot deserts, are woven into each chapter, presented as case studies, and used in exercises. Because introductory ecological restoration courses are taken by undergraduate students from a wide variety of academic backgrounds, the book explains and applies basic concepts from many supporting fields that serve as the foundation for practice, including ecology, conservation biology, earth and water sciences, environmental design, and public policy.

What is the difference between ecological backpack, ecological balance, and ecological footprint?
The ecological backpack refers to the amount of natural resources and energy required to support an individual's lifestyle and consumption habits. Ecological balance refers to the state of equilibrium within an ecosystem, where the interactions between living organisms and their environment are stable and sustainable. Ecological footprint measures the impact of human activities on the environment by calculating the amount of biologically productive land and water required to sustain those activities. In summary, the ecological backpack focuses on individual consumption, ecological balance on the stability of ecosystems, and ecological footprint on the overall environmental impact of human activities.

What are ecological topics?
Ecological topics are subjects related to the interactions between organisms and their environment. These topics can include biodiversity, conservation, ecosystems, climate change, pollution, and sustainability. Studying ecological topics helps us understand the delicate balance of nature and how human activities can impact the health of our planet. By addressing these topics, we can work towards creating a more harmonious relationship between humans and the environment.
-
What are ecological problems?
Ecological problems are issues that arise from the disruption of the natural balance and functioning of ecosystems. These problems can include habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and overexploitation of natural resources. Ecological problems can have far-reaching impacts on the environment, wildlife, and human populations, leading to negative consequences such as species extinction, water and air pollution, and disruptions to the food chain. Addressing these problems requires a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of all living organisms and their environments.
-
What are ecological standards?
Ecological standards are guidelines and criteria that are set to ensure that human activities and products are environmentally friendly and sustainable. These standards aim to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity, promote conservation of natural resources, and reduce pollution and waste. By adhering to ecological standards, businesses, industries, and individuals can help protect the environment and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Being Ecological
'To read Being Ecological is to be caught up in a brilliant display of intellectual pyrotechnics' P.D.Smith, GuardianWhy is everything we think we know about ecology wrong?Is there really any difference between 'humans' and 'nature'?Does this mean we even have a future?Don't care about ecology?This book is for you. Timothy Morton, who has been called 'Our most popular guide to the new epoch' (Guardian), sets out to show us that whether we know it or not, we already have the capacity and the will to change the way we understand the place of humans in the world, and our very understanding of the term 'ecology'.A cross-disciplinarian who has collaborated with everyone from Björk to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Morton is also a member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, a group of forward-looking thinkers who are grappling with modern-day notions of subjectivity and objectivity, while also offering fascinating new understandings of Heidegger and Kant.Calling the volume a book containing 'no ecological facts', Morton confronts the 'information dump' fatigue of the digital age, and offers an invigorated approach to creating a liveable future.

Capitalism in the Anthropocene : Ecological Ruin or Ecological Revolution
Explores capitalism’s role in creating the current state of climate emergencyOver the last 11,700 years, during which human civilization developed, the earth has existed within what geologists refer to as the Holocene Epoch.Now science is telling us that the Holocene Epoch in the geological time scale ended, replaced by a new more dangerous Anthropocene Epoch, which began around 1950.The Anthropocene Epoch is characterized by an “anthropogenic rift” in the biological cycles of the Earth System, marking a changed reality in which human activities are now the main geological force impacting the earth as a whole, generating at the same time an existential crisis for the world’s population. What caused this massive shift in the history of the earth?In this comprehensive study, John Bellamy Foster tells us that a globalized system of capital accumulation has induced humanity to foul its own nest.The result is a planetary emergency that threatens all present and future generations, throwing into question the continuation of civilization and ultimately the very survival of humanity itself.Only by addressing the social aspects of the current planetary emergency, exploring the theoretical, historical, and practical dimensions of the capitalism’s alteration of the planetary environment, is it possible to develop the ecological and social resources for a new journey of hope.

Analyzing Ecological Data
'Which test should I apply?' During the many years of working with ecologists, biologists and other environmental scientists, this is probably the question that the authors of this book hear the most often.The answer is always the same and along the lines of 'What are your underlying questions?', 'What do you want to show?'.The answers to these questions provide the starting point for a detailed discussion on the ecological background and purpose of the study.This then gives the basis for deciding on the most appropriate analytical approach.Therefore, a better start ing point for an ecologist is to avoid the phrase 'test' and think in terms of 'analy sis'.A test refers to something simple and unified that gives a clear answer in the form of a p-value: something rarely appropriate for ecological data.In practice, one has to apply a data exploration, check assumptions, validate the models, per haps apply a series of methods, and most importantly, interpret the results in terms of the underlying ecology and the ecological questions being investigated.Ecology is a quantitative science trying to answer difficult questions about the complex world we live in.Most ecologists are aware of these complexities, but few are fully equipped with the statistical sophistication and understanding to deal with them.

What is ecological tolerance?
Ecological tolerance refers to the range of environmental conditions within which a species can survive and reproduce. This includes factors such as temperature, humidity, pH, and nutrient availability. Species with a wide ecological tolerance can thrive in a variety of conditions, while those with narrow tolerance are more limited in their ability to survive in different environments. Understanding ecological tolerance is important for conservation efforts and managing ecosystems, as it helps to predict how species may respond to environmental changes.
