This work examines the balance between conservation and biological productivity in natural freshwater ecosystems such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Edwards and Garrod explore the ecological processes that control productivity, including nutrient dynamics, energy flow, and biological interactions within aquatic environments. The book discusses how human influences—such as pollution, eutro…
Dr. Edwards’ book argues that the proper foundation for inductive inference in science is likelihood, not probability. Building on R. A. Fisher’s original concept, likelihood is presented as a measure of relative support among competing hypotheses. Edwards develops a consistent theory of statistical inference based on likelihood, starting from simple principles and requiring only modest pri…
