DEDICATION

We dedicate this book to Stan Rowe:  ecologist, philosopher, teacher, author and role model for many.

His informed insistence that ecology must be the study of all the interacting elements of the biosphere was, as Stan would say, “a step forward.”

A giant leap that all of mankind has yet to take but Stan’s contributions will keep reminding us that we must. We have tried to take his counsel.
