lives with the realities of smog as much as sky, in cement not stone, in
contemplation of a windowbox more than a biome. It is too simple to
define man only in terms of the biosphere to the neglect of the noosphere.
Neither necessarily excludes the other.
The search for common ideas was motivated by realization of the need
for unity in ecology. Hopefully, this essay has provided another step
toward not only realization of such a goal conceptually, but its realization in interdisciplinary communication and research.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The author wishes to acknowledge support from the Environmental
Research Center, Washington State University and the Bureau of
Economic and Business Research, also of Washington State University.
I would like to express appreciation to a number of individuals who
helped to lighten the work load while I was engaged on this project,
especially to Larry Kirkland of the Research Center, who cheerfully
took on obligations rightfully mine and to my teaching assistants, Jack
Hoffman, Julie Phillips, Jon Taylor and Bill Yake. Special gratitude is
extended to my colleague, Tom Bartuska, of the Washington State
University Department of Architecture, who has been stimulating ideas
for years, and to my wife Beverly, for literally allowing me a “divorce”
long enough to f i s h this. Also appreciated were the secretarial skills
and moral support (and, when the occasion demanded, the ability to
move mountains) of Betty Meyer, Bonnie Gibbs and especially Pattie
Nicholes.
