Despite the free advice of the birds, we do not pay attention', said Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1947. From ice-dependent penguins of Antarctica to songbirds that migrate across the Sahara, birds' responses provide early warning signs of the impact of climate change. Winged Sentinels: Birds and Climate Change uses colourful examples to show how particular groups of birds face heightened threats from climate change and to explore how we can help birds adapt in a warming world. Generously illustrated with colour photographs, the book is a fascinating insight into what climate change means for birds, and the potential consequences of ignoring these warning signs.

Probability theory: the logic of science / Jaynes, E.T. (2003)  

Public ISBD Titre : Probability theory: the logic of science Type de document : livre Auteurs : Jaynes, E.T., Auteur ; Bretthorst, G.Larry (Ed.), Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Cambridge, New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 727 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-59271-0 Note générale : Reprinted with corrections 2004 and fifth printing 2007 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Probabilities Résumé : The standard rules of probability can be interpreted as uniquely valid principles in logic. In this book, E.T. Jaynes dispels the imaginary distinction between "probability theory" and "statistical inference", leaving a logical unity and simplicity, which provides greater technical power and flexibility in applications. This book goes beyond the conventional mathematics of probability theory, viewing the subject in a wider context. New results are discussed, along with applications of probability theory to a wide variety of problems in physics, mathematics, economics, chemistry and biology. It contains many exercises and problems, and is suitable for use as a textbook on graduate level courses involving data analysis. The material is aimed at readers who are already familiar with applied mathematics at an advanced undergraduate level or higher. The book will be of interest to scientists working in any area where inference from incomplete information is necessary.
