Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A very clean copy which is signed by the author. Roger Murdoch's As the Twig Is Bent is a reflective New Zealand memoir in which the author looks back on the people, places, and early experiences that shaped his character. Written in a straightforward, conversational style, the book moves through childhood, schooling, family life, and the social world of mid‑century New Zealand, drawing out the lessons and values that stayed with him into adulthood. Murdoch writes with warmth and clarity, offering a personal but recognisable portrait of growing up in a small community at a time of rapid social change. It is the kind of locally published life story that preserves the texture of everyday New Zealand life — modest in scale, but rich in detail and memory. Signed by Author(s). …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Illustrated with charts, small thick octavo, pp xvi, 459, paperback, last few pages and the rear cover very slightly bruised at the top corner, otherwise a very good copy indeed. [Despite often violent fluctuations in nature, species extinction is rare. California red scale, a potentially devastating pest of citrus, has been suppressed for fifty years in California to extremely low yet stable densities by its controlling parasitoid. Some larch budmoth populations undergo extreme cycles; others never cycle. In Consumer-Resource Dynamics, William Murdoch, Cherie Briggs, and Roger Nisbet use these and numerous other biological examples to lay the groundwork for a unifying theory applicable to predator-prey, parasitoid-host, and other consumer-resource interactions. Throughout, the focus is on how the properties of real organisms affect population dynamics. The core of the book synthesizes and extends the authors' own models involving insect parasitoids and their hosts, and explores in depth how consumer species compete for a dynamic resource. The emerging general consumer-resource theory accounts for how consumers respond to differences among individuals in the resource population. From here the authors move to other models of consumer-resource dynamics and population dynamics in general. Consideration of empirical examples, key concepts, and a necessary review of simple models is followed by examination of spatial processes affecting dynamics, and of implications for biological control of pest organisms. The book establishes the coherence and broad applicability of consumer-resource theory and connects it to single-species dynamics. It closes by stressing the theory's value as a hierarchy of models that allows both generality and testability in the field.].…
