Appendix 3: Quantitative Analysis of Skeletal Growth Records Part C: Probabilistic Population Descriptions
J. Rimas Vaisnys and Richard E. Dodge
In this appendix we propose some probabilistic and statistical techniques for describing biological populations. The techniques are illustrated with actual data, obtained from studies of coral reefs in Bermuda. In our example, we use skeletal band counts, made for a small sample of corals, to construct an age-frequency description of the coral reef population. The techniques are quite general and are applicable whenever a quantifiable skeletal growth record is exhibited by an individual organism and when one is interested in estimating the frequency distribution of the same growth pattern in the species population.

Chapter 13: Pragmatists and Visionaries in the Post World War II American Peace Movement: SANE and CNVA
Milton S. Katz and Neil Katz
This collection of twelve separately authored essays, analyzing various aspects of peace advocacy in six nations over a duration of nearly a century, manages to maintain a surprising unity of theme. Despite diversities of approach in essays as a group serve effectively, as Solomon Wank suggests, to destroy whatever remains of the "commonplace view of the peace movement as a monolith."
This chapter contains an account of SANE and CNVA in the United States that completes the book's collection.
