Bibliography of Publications Relevant to Paul B. Sears (1891-1990) Bibliography of Publications Relevant to Paul B. Sears (1891-1990) Juliana C. Mulroy1, Department of Biology, Denison University, Granville, OH and Janet L. Oblinger, Department of Pathology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH Abstract. Paul B. Sears and his work were discussed in hundreds of publications beginning in 1908. They included high school and college yearbooks, reviews of his books, newspaper articles, award citations, letters, biographies, and obituaries. The greatest number of publications (more than 50) mentioning Sears appeared in the 1930s. This listing may not be complete because of extensive editing, losses and additions since first compilation in 1994. It is an entry point to understand Sears’ influence on the fields of ecology, conservation and education. OHIO J SCI 109 (4-5): 137-139, 2010 BIBLIOGRAPHY Anonymous. 1939e.

  • The Evolution of the Louis Bromfield Sustainable Agriculture Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 376 844 IR 055 318 AUTHOR Miraglia, Laurie L. TITLE Seeds of Knowledge: The Evolution of the Louis .Bromfield Sustainable Agriculture Library. PUB DATE Aug 94 NOTE 49p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Undetermined (040) Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Adult Farmer Education; *Agricultural Education; Agricultural Production; College Libraries; Ecology; Higher Education; *Library Collections; Library Services; Reference Services; *Soil Conservation; State Libraries; *Young Farmer Education IDENTIFIERS *Louis Bromfield Sustainable Agric Lib OH; Ohio; *Sustainable Agriculture ABSTRACT The Louis Bromfield Sustainable Agriculture Library is located in Lucas, Ohio, at Malabar Farm State Park. Established in 1992, the library is jointly maintained by the Ohio State University Sustainable Agriculture Program and the Ohio Department of Agriculture. The library's namesake, Louis Bromfield, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and noted conservationist and farmer. This research paper traces the development of the collection from its origins as a part of Bromfield's personal working library to its place in what at one time was to be the premier ecological information center in the world, and ultimately, to its current status as a closed-reference library for farmers, students, and other individuals interested in sustainable agriculture. Bromfield practiced what today is considered sustainable agriculture. Sustainable agriculture combines traditional conservation-minded farming techniques with modern technologies and includes such practices as rotating and diversifying crops, building up the soil, and when possible, controlling pests naturally. Economic, social, and environmental concerns have increased the need and demand for alternative methods of agriculture and consequently, the demand for information and education about the topic has increased.

  • Eminent Scholar, Ecologist and Conservationist
    Paul Bigelow Sears (1891-1990): Eminent Scholar, Ecologist and Conservationist 1Ronald L. Stuckey, 1320 Old Henderson Road, Columbus, Ohio 43220 Abstract. Paul Bigelow Sears, botanist, ecologist and conservationist, was one of the most respected and honored ecologists in North America. He had the remarkable ability to explain complex environmental problems clearly and simply to colleagues, students and citizens. Sears devoted his life to furthering man’s understanding of the delicately balanced ecosystems upon which mankind’s very survival exists. The keenness of his mind, the warmth of his personality, the quality of his writing and his capacity to relate scientific problems to human affairs earned Professor Sears the distinction of an exemplary individual in American science. For his many accomplishments, he was the recipient of many honors and awards.

  • Aldo Leopold: Connecting Conservation Science, Ethics, Policy, and Practice
    Chapter 14 Aldo Leopold: Connecting Conservation Science, Ethics, Policy, and Practice Curt Meine Abstract Creative interdisciplinary thinkers in the history of both ecology and ethics have ventured beyond their disciplinary boundaries and into the zone where they overlap. Prominent among these was Aldo Leopold. While serving as president of the Ecological Society of America in 1947, Leopold called for a “land ethic” that integrated insights from ecology, history, ethics, and aesthetics. Prompted especially by developments in science and technology following World War II, Leopold was part of a broader community of contemporaries concerned with these portentous changes. In retrospect, we can see Leopold’s special contribution as a defi ning moment in the discourse connecting conservation science, ethics, policy, and practice. That discourse continues, especially in emerging interdisciplinary fi elds, even as our critical environmental concerns renders the need for integrated thinking ever more apparent and immediate. Keywords Aldo Leopold • Ecological Society of America • Conservation • Policy • Ethics 14.1 Aldo Leopold, Ecology, and Ethics: 1947 At its annual meeting in December 1946, the Ecological Society of America (ESA) elected Aldo Leopold president. He was a somewhat surprising pick. Over the years Leopold had devoted a greater share of his professional energies to other scientifi c, professional, and conservation organizations.

  • Paul B. Sears and the Ecological Society of America
    Paul B. Sears and the Ecological Society of America Robert L. Burgess (1931-2002)1, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, State University of New York, Syracuse, NY Abstract. Paul B. Sears, perhaps more than any other person, epitomized American plant ecology. In a professional career spanning almost 7 decades, he made major contributions to vegetation mapping, paleoecology and Pleistocene history, vegetation studies, conservation, human ecology and our use of land; and particularly, the varied roles of scientists in modern society. He introduced his work in most of these subjects by presenting papers at the annual meetings of the Ecological Society of America (ESA). As a member or chair of numerous committees, Sears pushed the ESA to become involved in supporting the teaching of ecology in college curricula, conservation efforts, applied ecology, human ecology and outreach to government and the public. He also served the ESA as an editor, vice president and president. His influence is still felt in the ESA, although few realize where the ideas originated. Sears was named Eminent Ecologist by the ESA in 1965, a title as appropriate today as it was then. OHIO J SCI 109 (4-5): 104-108, 2010 INTRODUCTION activities, Sears, throughout his career, contributed significantly After earning a Bachelor of Science degree at Ohio Wesleyan to The Ecological Society of America (ESA), as discussed below. University in Delaware, Ohio, Paul B. Sears went to the University of Nebraska, a young school, but one that attracted a hero of early INVOLVEMENT IN THE ECOLOGICAL ecology, Charles Edwin Bessey who separated himself from the SOCIETY OF AMERICA eastern botanical tradition by adopting a European, predominantly Sears joined the fledgling Ecological Society (founded in 1915) German, mode of teaching, where laboratories and field experience during his graduate student days at the University of Chicago.

  • Paul B. Sears: the Role of Ecology in Conservation
    Paul B. Sears: The Role of Ecology in Conservation John F. Disinger1 [1930-2005], Professor Emeritus, School of Natural Resources, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210. Abstract. Paul B. Sears made his mark in four interrelated fields: botany, natural history, ecology and conservation. His personal commitment to, and academic and professional competence in plant sciences paved the way to a rigorous analysis of the intricate interrelationships among living things and their environments that are of central concern to ecologists. However, Sears’ contributions as a conservationist may have been even greater, as he championed the need for coherent communication between the professional scientist and the lay public, especially political decision-makers. He believed that environmental choices can be scientifically sound only to the extent that they understand the nuances and implications of the science underlying their practical concerns and obligations. Sears maintained that scientists must communicate their findings in language that is understandable and with a sense of urgency that can elicit a positive response. Several of his own works, particularly Deserts on the March, clearly exemplify how this can, and should be, accomplished. He also left an enduring contribution to society: a sharpened focus on the meaning and necessity of an ecological perspective on the human role in nature.
