In natural systems it is often difficult to unmask the variety of important factors that may determine population structure: population size and demography, habitat selection and availability, patterns of dispersion, gender and age differences, genetics, and behavior.
Smith concentrates on the role played by dispersal (and its reciprocal = philopatry) in the determination of mammalian population structure because this may function to integrate many of those factors listed above.
Smith is also committed to work in the general area of conservation, particularly in the international arena.

Andrew Smith, Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut.
Bishop Smith has exercised the powers of his office in such manner as to declare that he is above the law, both ecclesiastical and civil, and thus to bring great disrepute upon the Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Connecticut as a whole, and upon the office of bishop in particular.
Bishop Smith’s act of intentionally leaving clergy within his jurisdiction under threat of charges of abandonment of communion when he knows he has no basis in fact or law to press those charges is an act of pure oppression directed at the clergy and all those who care about their welfare.

 Book Review: Moondust by Andrew Smith @ Blogcritics.org
Smith's idea stemmed from happening to meet with Charlie Duke, who walked on the Moon as part of the next to last Apollo mission, the day after the death of Pete Conrad, the commander of Apollo 12 and the third man to walk on the Moon.
Smith, born and initially raised in the U.S. during the Apollo program but now a resident of Great Britain, sets out to interview the surviving Moonwalkers to assess how the experience impacted their lives and what, if anything, it means for our own.
Smith could more accurately subtitle the book something like "my personal search to recapture my youth during the Apollo program by talking to Moonwalkers." The book is as much about Smith's own thoughts and feelings as it is Apollo or any of the individual astronauts, their family members or others he interviews.
