FUNDAMENTALS OF ECOLOGY

1971 ( Third Edition ) : W. B. Saunders, Comp. Philadelphia – London - Toronto

Practice has caught up with theory in ecology. The holistic approach and ecosystem theory, as emphasized in the first two editions of this book, are now matters of world-wide concern. People in general have accepted the root meaning of the word 'ecology,' which refers to the whole environmental 'house' in which we live. Thus, to many persons ecology now stands for the study of 'the totality of man and environment.' Although the same general format which students and teachers found useful in the previous edition has been retained, the third edition is greatly expanded and updated in light of the inereasing importance of the subject in human affairs. All chapters from the second edition have been extensively revised; three completely new chapters have been added to Part 1, and Part 3 has been completely rewritten. Illustrative material and references have been more than doubled, and two-thirds of the figures and tables are new to the third edition.

In revising textbooks one worries about the 'dinosaur syndrome.' Sometimes textbooks become so enlarged in successive editions that the brevity and simplicity that made them successful in the early editions is lost. To avoid this contingency I have structured the third edition so that it is three books in one, each of which can serve a dif ferent purpose.

Book No. 1. This involves the macroscopic or 'big picture' ecology as it relates to human affairs: Chapters 1 through 4, plus 9, 15, 16, and 21. These eight chapters provide a review of ecology for the concerned citizen, the student of the social sciences, the humanities, or the professions (law, medicine, engineering, and so forth), and for the specialist in science, government, or industry. Also this group of chapters provides a reference base for campus-wide courses in 'man and environment' or 'human ecology.'

Book No. 2. For the undergraduate college course in ecology, Part 1 (Chapters 1 through 10) and Chapters 15, 16, and 21 (a total of 13 chapters), with Part 2 and other chapters in Part 3 as reference for specific field or laboratory work, is recommended.

Book No. 3. The whole book (21 chapters) is a comprehensive reference work on principles, environments, and ecological technology. It is also a textbook for graduate courses.

Numerous cross-references in all the chapters make it feasible to begin reading at any point in the book, or to select various combinations of chapters as needed.

As was true in the first two editions, this edition owes much to my brother, Howard T. Odum. His contributions to the second edition, especially to Chapter 3 (Principles and Concepts Pertaining to Energy in Ecological Systems), have been retained and expanded. His highly original approaches to systems ecology, now incorporated in a separate book (see H. T. Odum, 1971), are cited in a number of different chapters. I am also indebted to my son, William E. Odum, for ideas and the use of his unpublished data. Without the understanding and encouragement of my wife, Martha Ann, who also assisted with the illustrations and index, I would never have been able to face the task of revising subject matter that is expanding so rapidly in scope. I am most appreciative of the very great personal encouragement provided through all three editions of this book by Tyler Buchenau, recently retired as College Editor at the W. B. Saunders Company. The staffs of the editorial and production departments of Saunders have been unfailing in their dedication to making this edition a reality despite my many false starts, delays, and changes in manuscript and proof. My thanks go also to Gail McCord, Ann Young, and Joseph Mahoney here at the University of Georgia for their dedicated work on manuscript and proof.

This book is very much a product of concepts and research of students and colleagues who have been associated with the Institute of Ecology at the University of Georgia during the past 25 years. In addition to special chapters and sections, which are credited, the work of Institute members and former students is cited in practically every chapter; their published research makes up an impressive part of the bibliography at the end of the book. It is with great pleasure that I dedicate the third edition to the following staff members (past and present) and former students:

APPLICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY

Introduction

Chapter 15

And yet again this has the EXACT same issue I had with the UAV in ArmA 2.In real life, the UAV pilot can control both the laser and the weapon system at the same time. How to use drones in arma 3. Once iam in the air by setting to flying in the editor I can take full control and use my wasd keys but for some reason they don't work while its on the ground.Airplane controls dropdown is missing from the controls, but what you need to press to accelerate/turn the engine on is 'SHIFT' and 'Y/Z' is to slow down. At least that's what it's bound to by default. But I cannot do that with the current setup. If you watch what UAV's do, 99% of the time they are hitting infantry locations.
