自然不可改良，ISBN：9787108013002，作者：[巴西]何塞·卢岑贝格著；黄凤祝译

中国古代历史发展的自然环境及自然环境变迁对历史进程的影响，是一个具有重大理论和现实意义的问题。本书通过对十六国北魏的考察，推进了对该问题的研究。《生态史学视野下的十六国北魏兴衰》由湖北人民出版社于2004年11月出版，包括“绪论”、“自然环境变迁与十六国割据局面的出现”、“北魏时期农牧关系与社会基层组织的演变”、“自然灾害与北魏的兼并战争”、“北魏长城—军镇防御体系对环境的影响及其后果”等五章和一个余论，共计19.2万字。
该书以生态史学为理论资源，从自然环境变迁这个角度对十六国北魏兴衰的深层动因进行了阐释，揭示了生态环境与政权兴衰之间复杂多变的互动关系，对我们今天深入理解以可持续发展为核心观念的科学发展观有较大的借鉴意义，具有较高的学术价值和一定的应用价值。学术界对于本课题的研究起步较晚，空白点很多，在借鉴和使用社会科学其他兄弟学科及自然科学的研究方法和成果方面还比较薄弱。《生态史学视野下的十六国北魏兴衰》在许多方面填补了空白，例如自然环境变迁对于十六国政权割据局面形成的巨大推动作用，西晋末年旱灾频发期对于历史进程的影响，北魏建立长城—军镇防御体系的决策及其历史影响等，均系首次提出该问题并进行系统的论述。

《自由生态学:等级制的出现与消解》基于一种对生态学、人类学、哲学和政治学理论方法的综合运用，全书系统地追溯了我们社会中相互冲突性的自由与遗产支配——从人类文化的最初显现到当代的全球性资本主义，具有极高的研究价值。

《土地的变迁:新英格兰的印第安人、殖民者和生态(20周年版)》结构严谨，内容新颖，注重理论阐述与实践操作的结合、艺术创意与表现技法的结合，有较强的科学性、实用性和操作性。主要内容有瓦尔登（Walder）的观点、新英格兰殖民地的生态变迁、景观与景观中的各类组成部分等。

Landscape ecology focuses on spatial heterogeneity, or the idea that where things are and where they are in relation to other things can have important consequences for a wide range of phenomena. Landscape ecology integrates humans with natural ecosystems and brings a spatial perspective to such fields as natural resource management, conservation, and urban planning. The thirty-seven papers included in this volume present the origins and development of landscape ecology and encompass a variety of perspectives, approaches, and geographies. The editors begin with articles that illuminate the discipline's diverse scientific foundations, such as L. S. Berg's keystone paper outlining a geoecological analysis based on soil science, physical geography, and geology. Next they include selections exemplifying landscape ecologists' growing awareness of spatial pattern, the different ways they incorporated scale into their work, the progression of landscape ecology from a qualitative to a quantitative discipline, and how concepts from landscape ecology have come to permeate ecological research and influence land-use policy, conservation practices, landscape architecture, and geography. Together these articles provide a solid introduction to what is now widely recognized as an important area of research and application that encourages new ways of thinking about natural and human-dominated ecosystems

Through a series of personal essays, this book addresses a wide array of past, current, and future issues in landscape ecology. The essays have been contributed by leading landscape ecologists from North America, Europe, and Australia, and provide an overview of the rich tapestry of viewpoints and perspectives that make landscape ecology at once a well-defined and yet also a frustratingly diverse discipline. The contributions span a range of topics and approaches, addressing theory as well as practice, science as well as application, conservation as well as utilization, and aquatic as well as terrestrial systems. The volume therefore provides informative and entertaining reading for beginning and advanced students, landscape managers, conservationists, and teachers.

景观生态学：格局、过程、尺度与等级（第二版），ISBN：9787040208795，作者：邬建国

This book is primarily written for ecologists needing to analyse data resulting from field observations and experiments. It will be particularly useful for students and researchers dealing with complex ecological problems, such as the variation of biotic communities with environmental conditions or the response of biotic communities to experimental manipulation. Following a simple introduction to ordination methods, the text focuses on constrained ordination methods (RDA, CCA) and the use of permutation tests on statistical hypotheses of multivariate data. An overview of classification methods, or modern regression methods (GLM, GAM, loess), is provided and guidance on the correct interpretation of ordination diagrams is given. Seven case studies of varying difficulty help to illustrate the suggested analytical methods, using the Canoco for Windows software. The case studies utilise both the descriptive and manipulative approaches, and they are supported by data sets and project files available from the book website.
• Written for ecologists - no background in statistics necessary • Contains hands-on tutorials • Datasets are provided

《工业革命以来的英国环境史》内容包括：污染与宜人、挥霍的经济体制及其可能的改革等内容。《工业革命以来的英国环境史》将以历史学的分支——环境史问世，然而，在英国对环境史的研究及其成果却乏善可陈。的确，环境史所涉及的内容在理论与写作上至今仍有争议。因此，环境史学者有机会，也有责任去阐述其研究领域到底应该包括哪些内容。如果断然认为自己的领域才是唯一值得研究的，这样的思维或做法未免过于轻率。不错，明确著述的范围可能有利于保护自己，或至少可以让那些喜欢抱怨的人们不敢妄加评论。否则，他们会说此书若是由他们来写，就不会沦落到这般地步。那么环境史到底应该论述哪些内容呢？

《这片开裂的土地:印度生态史》分为三大部分，总共八章内容。在第一部分中，作者针对马克思主义生产方式范畴的局限，引入了“资源利用模式”这一概念。作者抓住人类社会与生物资源的关系，以生态学视角，依次阐述了四种资源利用模式，提出了生态史的一般理论，为后面的研究提供了分析框架。在第二部分中，作者对前殖民时期印度社会多元文化与多样化生态如何组合在一起给予新的解释，这是一种文化，生态学分析。在第三部分中，作者依据大量原始资料，对由英国引入并在印度独立后继续存在的新的资源利用模式进行了社会，生态学分析。
