Download or read book Mark Twain s Book of Animals written by Mark Twain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For those unaware—as I was until I read this book—that Mark Twain was one of America's early animal advocates, Shelley Fisher Fishkin's collection of his writings on animals will come as a revelation. Many of these pieces are as fresh and lively as when they were first written, and it's wonderful to have them gathered in one place." —Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation and The Life You Can Save “A truly exhilarating work. Mark Twain's animal-friendly views would not be out of place today, and indeed, in certain respects, Twain is still ahead of us: claiming, correctly, that there are certain degraded practices that only humans inflict on one another and upon other animals. Fishkin has done a splendid job: I cannot remember reading something so consistently excellent."—Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of When Elephants Weep and The Face on Your Plate "Shelley Fisher Fishkin has given us the lifelong arc of the great man's antic, hilarious, and subtly profound explorations of the animal world, and she's guided us through it with her own trademark wit and acumen. Dogged if she hasn't." —Ron Powers, author of Dangerous Water: A Biography of the Boy Who Became Mark Twain and Mark Twain: A Life

Download or read book Saving Species on Private Lands written by Lowell E. Baier and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Independent Press Award - Conservation/Green, 2021 The only hope for successful conservation of America’s threatened, endangered, and at-risk wildlife is through voluntary, cooperative partnerships that focus on private land, where over 75% of at-risk species can be found. Private landowners form the bedrock of these partnerships, and they have a long history of rising to meet the challenge of conservation. But they can’t do it alone. This book is a guide for private landowners who want to conserve wildlife. Whether engaged in farming, ranching, forestry, mining, energy development, or another business, private working lands all have value as wildlife habitat, with the proper management and financial support. This book provides landowners and their partners with a roadmap to achieve conservation compatible with their financial and personal goals. This book introduces the art and language of land management planning as well as regulatory compliance with laws such as the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It categorizes and explains the tools used by wildlife professionals to implement conservation on private lands. Moreover it documents the multitude of federal, state, local, and private opportunities for landowners to find financial and technical assistance in managing wildlife, from working with a local NGO to accessing the $6 billion per year available through the federal Farm Bill.

Download or read book Animal Land written by Margaret Joan Blount and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Animal Land surveys the role of humanized animals in the classic literature for children, and bodes well to become a classic in its own right. It is an entertaining and equally serious and remarkably thorough look into a collective literature which introduced us to our early friends in books. Animals tend to outlive humans in the imaginations of appreciators of children's books. And few of the character encountered in adult fiction seem to remain as vivid and complete in the mind as The Velveteen Rabbit, Babar, Brer Rabbit, Bambi, Black Beauty, and WInnie the Pooh. Meet them again here. Ponder them, because they will not leave us alone" --

Download or read book Scenes With the Hunter and the Trapper in Many Lands written by W. H. Davenport Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes With the Hunter and the Trapper in Many Lands: Or Stories of Adventures With Wild Animals It seems to me, therefore, that a book recording some of the most stirring achievements of men in their prolonged contest with wild animals may be not only interesting but useful - that it will not only amuse but teach. It is some thing gained when a boy learns to prize and imitate the manly virtues; and such stories as are set forth in the fol lowing pages will help the young reader to this valuable lesson. They are all true stories, and I have carefully re frained from embroidering them with sensational details. Collected from a variety of sources, they are necessarily diversified in tone and character; but not one of them is unwholesome reading. For the sake of securing a certain degree of homogeneity, I have strung them together on a simple thread of narration, suggested by a boyish experience of my own. Further, they are associated with the chief facts in the natural history of the animals to which they relate; so that, to some extent, my little book may be ex pected to quicken its reader's interest in zoological studies. But, of course, it is intended to solicit the patronage of the juvenile public primarily and chiefly as a record of Adventures with Wild Animals.
