About the Author

I am an Official Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford. Between 1997 and 2001 I was Professor of Sociology at the European University Institute, Florence, where my Chair was called ‘ Social Stratification and Inequality’. Before going to Florence I was Professor of Sociology at Queen’s University, Belfast, and, before that, I worked at the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin. I am a Fellow of the British Academy, a Member of the Royal Irish Academy and a member of Academia Europaea. I serve as a member of the Scientific Committee of the Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Ciencias Sociales, Juan March Institute, Madrid and on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Mannheimer Zentrum für Europäische Sozialforschung.

My research interests are social stratification and inequality, and the application of formal models in the social sciences.

Editorial Reviews

Presents 12 case studies of long-term research conducted in and around national parks, demonstrating how the use of longer time scales influences the understanding of ecosystems and how interpretations of short-term patterns in nature often change when viewed in the context of long-term data sets. Topics include air quality at Grand Canyon, control of exotic species in Hawaiian parks, and simulation of natural fire in the parks of the Sierra Nevada. For professionals and students in natural resource management. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
