They have developed a substantial body of theory that has been applied successfully to a large number of animal populations and has led to a major improvement in the management of some of the ma jor marine fisheries. The theory has been developed for single species populations with man as a predator. Much of it is based on the Darwinian concept of a constant overpopulation of young that is reduced by density dependent mortality resulting form intraspecific competition. The unfished population tends toward a maximum equilibrium size with a relatively high proportion of large, old individuals. As fishing increased and natural mortality is reduced, death from fishin eventually takes the place of most natural mortality. If the amount of fishing is increased too much, the indivduals will tend to be taken before realizing their potential growth, and total yield will be reduced. The maximum sustainable yields can be taken at an intermediate population size that in some populations is about one third the unfished population size G V Nikolskii, of Moscow State University, develops his theory from a different approach. He is non Darwinian and is(he says)a nonmathematician; rather he considers himself as ecologist and morphologist. He argues that Darwins s concept of constant overpopulation has led to the eglect of the problem of protecting spawns and young fish. He argues also that Darwin s concept of a variety as an incipient species have led to extensive mathematical analysis of racial characters. Nikolskii considers the main laws of population dynamics to be concerned with the succession of generations; their birth, growth, and death. The details are governed by the relative rates of adaptaton and environmental change. The mass and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation to the food supply.

of adaptation to the food supply. The rate of growth of individuals, the time of sexual maturity, and the accumulation of reserves vary according to the food supply.

But watch what happens every time the pitcher (*F) throws the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman's position.

He practiced his own form of magic which only partly resembled the rites of devil worshippers, and it was certainly not performed for the same ends. Rather than worshipping God, the devil, or anything else, Crowley devised a “religion” with
himself as a saviour showing the people the way to freedom through their own "true will". In other words, he said, people should throw off all constraints and conventions and gain control of themselves and others through their own will power. In his famous books, "Magic in Theory and Practice", Crowley explains what magic is, namel a technique of making nature obey man's will by capturing natural power through speaking the appropriate words and performing the correct actions. all this must be done while in the right state of mind: a state that Crowley often produced by the use of di His experiments with various drugs were to have serious consequences and by the time he was in his thirties he was taking too much heroin. At the end of his life he was taking a massive daily does of ll grammes, enough to kill a roomful of people. It was only his extraordinary physical a fatal. Rather ironical considering his excessive intake of drugs, Crowley died of natural causes at the age of 72. Opinion has always been sharply divided about him, for as well as being a self confessed gician, Crowley also painted, wrote plays, stories and poetry. Some see him as a clever but misguided man, while others, especially after the scandals at tached to his life at Cefalu in Cicily, view him as truly evil. 59. Through the doctrine of true will", Crowley encouraged people to A ignore the normal morality B find freedom through self worship C control everything by will powe D invent a new unconventional reli 60.

C As a form of natural power gained through using drugs. D As a way of subduing natural laws by will power 61. What kind of person was Crowley? A Self seeking and violent. B Strong willed and dissatisfied C Rash and weak willed D Strong willed and determined. 62. Why didn t the large amounts of heroin taken by growley prove fatal? A. He took too large a dose for it to be fatal. B. He did not take enough to kill a man of his size. C. He had conditioned his body not to di D.

His experiments with various drugs were to have serious consequences and by the time he was in his thirties he was taking too much heroin. At the end of his life he was taking a massive daily does of 11 grammes, enough to kill a roomful of people. It was only his extraordinary physical strength and conditioning through the years, that stopped it being fatal. Rather ironically, considering his excessive intake of drugs, Crowley died of natural causes at the age of 72.
