Cumulative Effects In Wildlife Management - Impact Mitigation

90,09€ + 10% CARD

 As humans continue to encroach on wildlands, quality and quantity of wildlife habitat decreases before our eyes. A housing development here, a shopping mall there, a few more trees cut here, another road put in there, each of these diminishes available habitat. Unless the cumulative effects of multiple simultaneous development projects are recognized and incorporated at the beginning of project development, we will continue to see wildlife habitat disappear at unprecedented rates.Divided into two parts, Cumulative Effects in Wildlife Management emphasizes the importance of recognizing cumulative effects and highlights the necessity of their bearing on future policy. It begins with an outline of the differences between direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of anthropogenic impacts on wildlife habitat and addresses the similarities and differences in US and Canadian policies, legal and economic ramifications, and the confusion that stems from lack of consideration, communication, and forward planning. Section 1 also describes the current standard means of quantifying cumulative effects as proposed by the Council on Environmental Quality.Section 2 presents a series of case studies that deepen our appreciation of how anthropogenic influences interconnect and how this heightened level of understanding influences our ability to make informed decisions. Case studies include cumulative effects in the Canadian Arctic, border issues with Mexico, suburban and exurban landscapes, scenic resources, and the cumulative impacts of energy development on sage-grouse.Without a conscious knowledge of what is happening around us, we will not be able to incorporate an effective land ethic, and natural resources will be the ultimate loser. Cumulative Effects in Wildlife Management brings to light the crucial connections between human expansion and habitat destruction.

Unsung Heroes Of Pollination - More Than The Birds And The Bees

by Peter Bernhardt

~~40,33€~~ 36,30€ 10% OFF

 Unsung Heroes of Pollination shows the reader a hidden world of pollination, where flies, wasps, mosquitoes, bats and beetles take centre stage. Naturalists, gardeners, citizen scientists and flower enthusiasts are invited to journey into the undergrowth, following Professor Peter Bernhardt and a cast of scientists across Australia, the USA, South Africa, China and Fiji. Leaving the familiar birds and bees behind, Bernhardt uncovers stories of reward, cooperation and deception between plants and animals. The author also pays homage to an earlier generation of naturalists who first investigated these unusual relationships during the first half of the 20th century. He explores how flowers have evolved in structure and function, and how pollination systems have emerged and diversified over time. Discover the remarkable 'fit' between animal senses and floral signals, and see how flowers advertise their secret rewards. Stunning colour plates bring you face-to-face with overlooked pollinators and their flowers - from an amber fossil of the bee-like crabronid wasp that flew millions of years ago, and a modern chloropid gnat wearing an orchid’s pollinia on its back, to the elaborate lip petals of hammer orchids luring male wasps, and the long tongue of a tube-lipped nectar bat reaching for its prize. This is a captivating glimpse into the wonders of an unseen - and unsung - world. "This is Dr Bernhardt at his most exuberant, combining personal anecdote with trademark scientific rigour to unveil the enduring love affair between flower and pollinator. Orchids and insects play a starring role as Bernhardt - with his abiding enthusiasm for botany, a swag of candid reflections from a research and writing career spanning five decades, and whimsy to spare - travels the world on our behalf." - Professor Tim Entwisle, botanist and author

White Pine - The Natural And Human History Of A Foundational American Tree

by John Pastor

28,81€ + 10% CARD

 America was built on white pine. From the 1600s through the Civil War and beyond, it was used to build the nation’s ships and houses, barns, and bridges. It became a symbol of independence, adorning the Americans’ flag at Bunker Hill, and an economic engine, generating three times more wealth than the California gold rush. Yet this popularity came at a cost: by the end of the 19th century, clear cutting had decimated much of America’s white pine forests. In White Pine: The Natural and Human History of a Foundational American Tree, ecologist and writer John Pastor takes readers on walk through history, connecting the white pine forests that remain today to a legacy of destruction and renewal.  Since the clear-cutting era, naturalists, foresters, and scientists have taken up the quest to restore the great white pine forests. White Pine follows this centuries-long endeavor, illuminating how the efforts shaped Americans’ understanding of key scientific ideas, from forest succession to the importance of fire. With his keen naturalist’s eye, Pastor shows us why restoring the vitality of these forests has not been simple: a host of other creatures depend on white pine and white pine depends on them. In weaving together cultural and natural history, White Pine celebrates the way humans are connected to the forest—and to the larger natural world. Today, white pine forests have begun to recover, but face the growing threat of climate change. White Pine shows us that hope for healthy forests lies in understanding the lessons of history, so that iconic species survive as a touchstone for future generations.
