Clements, Frederick E. Research methods in ecology. $3. Univ. pub., Neb.
“This work ... is intended ... as a handbook for investigators and for advanced students of ecology, and not as a text book on the subject.... The book is presented in four chapters ... the first of which deals with the scope, historical development, present status and important applications of ecology.... The second chapter is concerned with the habitat and methods of its investigation.... The third chapter has to do with the plant, the stimuli which it receives, the nature of its response, its adjustment and adaptation especially to water and light as stimuli.... The fourth chapter ... has for its general subject the formation or vegetation unit consisting essentially of plants in a habitat.”—Science.
“Altogether, Clements’s ‘Research methods in ecology’ is a notable contribution to the literature of ecology.” Conway MacMillan.

“Timely and valuable is this critique of the American currency and banking system.... Holding that the time has come when changes in the National bank act are imperative, in the direction both of securing more effective governmental control and of insuring greater currency ‘elasticity,’ Dr. Cleveland contends that whatever financial reforms be undertaken, they should be in the way of adapting, not revolutionizing, the existing system.”—Outlook.
“There is no disputing the fact that it is a contribution, and indeed a very worthy one, even if it does not contain the final word on the subject. As to the ground covered, however, those who are interested in such problems cannot do better than to consult this volume; indeed, they cannot afford not to do it.” J. E. Conner.
