Public education through this methodology is the additional key to the broader ecosystem understanding necessary to allow human society to pass through the next evolutionary bottleneck of our species. Living systems modeling as a wide spectrum educational tool can provide a primary vehicle for that essential step.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis third editon covers the many technological and biological developments in the eight plus years since the second edition, providing updated technological advice and describing many new example aquarium environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 16 page color insert with 57 color plates and 25% new photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers 300 figures and 75 tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew chapter on Biogeography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 50% new research in various chapters \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignificant updates in chapters include:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe understanding of coral reef function especially the relationship between photosynthesis and calcification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe use of living system models to solve problems of biogeography and the geographic dispersal and interaction of species populations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of new techniques for global scale restoration of water and atmosphere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of new techniques for closed system, sustainable aquaculture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078379553008,"sku":"9780080469102","price":97.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080469102_p0.jpg?v=1763637950","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080469102","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
