		Odum was first and foremost a scholar and teacher, but he saw his scholarship as a way to help bring the South into the mainstream of national life.
		Odum was not an outspoken leader in the fight for racial integration, but he stood up for his student and colleague, Guy B. Johnson, whose liberal views on race brought Johnson and the university under severe attack in the state.
		Odum's most nearly systematic theoretical creation was his "folk sociology." Influenced by Sumner, Odum saw folk society and social change as a gradual accumulation of folkways and mores--informal customs that grow from the everyday life of the common people.

		Howard Thomas Odum, professor emeritus at the University of Florida, developed the field of systems ecology as a discipline that examines the relationships among various elements of an ecosystem.
		Odum's appearance at ESF will be the highlight of a symposium titled, "Spotlight on Graduate and Undergraduate Research at ESF." He will discuss the evolution of ecology from a concentration on natural populations and communities to a focus on systems and energy.
		Odum has stirred controversy by combining theories of economics with ecology and by suggesting such innovations as using wetlands for wastewater management.

	History of IRSS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Howard W. Odum Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina, in Chapel Hill, is the oldest university-based interdisciplinary social-science research institute in the United States, and apparently the oldest in the world.
		Odum's interest in the social and economic problems of the South was shared by many of his colleagues at the university (notably Eugene C. Branson, head of the Department of Rural Social Economics), but Odum's achievement was to institutionalize that emphasis and move it to a higher level.
		Odum obtained the initial funding for the Institute, and under his direction it played a central role in making the University of North Carolina what it still is today: the world's leading center for the study of the American South.

		Odum brought forward the importance of ecology as a discipline that should be a fundamental dimension of the training of a biologist.
		Odum wrote a textbook on ecology with his brother, Howard Thomas Odum, a graduate student at Yale.
		While Odum did wish to influence the knowledge base and thinking of fellow biologists, and college and university students, his historical role was not as a promoter of public environmentalism as we now know it.

		Howard T. Odum was one of the most creative minds in the fields of ecology, environmental science, systems ecology, environmental policy, and energy studies.
		Odum served during World War II as a meteorology instructor in the U.S. Air Force at the Tropical Weather School in Panama.
		It was in this book where Odum first observed that all wealth stems from the environment and its myriad of systems and processes and that the value of services and commodities should be based on the energy and resources required to produce them, rather than on what someone is willing to pay for them.

		Odum then went on to explore the consequence of applying such a view (1950, p.9): If this postulate is applied to all of nature, the resulting proposition is that nature is as a whole in a steady state or is in the most stable form possible and constitutes one big entity.
		In a controversial move, Odum, together with Richard Pinkerton (at the time physicist at the University of Florida), was motivated by Lotka's articles on the energetics of evolution, and subsequently proposed that the theory that natural systems tend to operate at an efficiency that produces the maximum power output, not the maximum efficiency.
		Odum looked at natural systems as having been formed by the use of various forms of energy in the past: "emergy is a measure of energy used in the past and thus is different from a measure of energy now.

		Odum was a significant figure in the intellectual life of the South throughout his career.
		For Sanders, Odum's role as a collector of African American folklore had been central to his intellectual concerns for the greater part of his life, beginning when, as a young teacher in Mississippi, he started to write down the religious and secular songs of Black residents of the area.
		As a sociologist and psychologist, Odum believed that folk songs were a true expression of the feelings and mental imagery of the race and thus constituted a tool for the study of racial psychology, morals, and capabilities.

	Odum, Howard T. - Encyclopedia of Earth
		Howard T. Odum (1924 – 2002), American ecologist noted for his pioneering studies of energy flows in ecosystems, and for the application of those same principles to energy use in society.
		The results from Odum’s seminal research in the 1950s on the energetics of the food web in Silver Springs, Florida, and of the the coral reefs of Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands are found in nearly every text on ecology.
		Odum’s Environment, Power and Society (1971) was based on a pathbreaking application of thermodynamics and ecological energetics to energy flows in human society.

	Howard Odum, DAB, Sup. V
		Although Odum insisted that the fl was "neither an aberrant form of other races nor a hopelessly arrested type of any race," thus challenging fashionable racist assumptions, critics found this work marred by Odum's apparent acceptance of disfranchisement and segregation, and by his failure to make clear distinctions between cultural and racial traits.
		At Chapel Hill Odum organized and directed (1920-1932) a new school of public welfare (later renamed the School of Social Work); and in 1924, with characteristic adroitness in securing grants, he established an institute of research in social science with the help of the Rockefeller Fund.
		Odum's own work in the 1920's joined faith in "objective measurement" with the belief that sociology must provide social guidance.

		The two brothers published the classic ecological textbook of the early 1950s (Odum 1953; H.T. Odum's role was not credited until an acknowledgement page in the 3rd edition, published in 1971), one of the first modern holistic views of ecology, ecosystems and human impacts.
		Howard Odum produced 15 books, nearly 300 articles and was chairman for nearly 100 doctoral dissertations of which 75 were during his tenure at the University of Florida from 1970.
		His ashes were scattered in the Howard T. Odum Memorial Cypress Swamp, a cypress dome near the University of Florida campus that he donated to the University for research purposes.
