Book excerpt: A photographic celebration and investigation into the anomaly that is black and white colouration in wild animals. In this beautiful book Dr John Feltwell explores the nature of black and white in mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates as well as the remarkable albino and black forms of animals.The scientific community is still undecided on what evolutionary trick has caused some animals to develop rigid black and white colour patterns (as in pied birds) and random patterns in others (such as zebra). Our understanding of genetic mutations such as albinism and melanism is better understood but there has never yet been a book that looks at the many animals that display black and white colouration and why they do so.

Download or read book Black and White written by Ben Wild and published by Xlibris. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Black and White" centers around a boy named Benny. "...Benny Anthony Wild had that unique complexion, which even the lowest bred mothers could spend a lifetime trying to wash clean. His hair was straightish, but so thick he could hide marbles in it. His face was actually cute, but his eyes were so black and piercing and desperate, that he became hard to look at. His voice and body language seemed to hide years of misery and suffering, even though he had suffered little unpleasantness in his short life..." Early in his life he is influenced by his unhinged, racist father. "...Whenever Father Wild reasoned with himself, as to how the problems in his life had come to destroy him, he would always figure out it was the black man who was destroying God's Earth. Maynard Earl Wild believed there had to be a bad guy in the world's invisible master plan. Some people blame the president. Some, the parents. He blamed the black man. "Don't you see the fight we're in? the world was given to us! the white man! the white man is making this world! the black man is only here to protest, riot, and do whatever they can to annihilate civilization! They are the bad seed! They can not rise above the curse of sin! They are the leaders of every category of sin! That's because God created them for the wrong reason! That's why God made them black! Nature itself teaches us that black is bad! God made them black so we could see..."" His family also includes a crazy, pregnant mother, and a playful, younger sister. "...His crazy, whimpering mother was quite childlike... No words came from her mouth... and the baby kept growing inside of her... But his playful, young sister took care of her helpless mother, because she loved her so much... and Benny loved his sister... Benny loved the act of walking his sister home from school... and holding his sister's hand." Our story begins with our dysfunctional family moving from the country to the city. It is at this time that he makes a new, best friend in his neighborhood who begins to teach him how to adapt to the new environment of the city. "... Joseph Owen Hennessy was a regular Uriah Heep... and the red headed monkey spilled on about the trivialities that make us whole... and he gave his own version about himself. There was no father, and dead and half dead brothers, and a rough neighborhood. Still, Joe was intent upon his mission of becoming a part of the world, and the multitude of clumsy excuses which burdened him only strengthened his resolve... and Benny and Joe became inseparable. One day they were brothers, and the next just cousins, but always either fighting or laughing, and never without each other, night or day. They threw rocks at cars, and chased the paperboy for miles. They saw and did more in the yards and alleys than the owners themselves. In all ways, they and the city became one." But his new, best friend is also affected by racism, and Benny is influenced by this also. "...Because of the family that Joey had, it became important for him to make friends... and to bond with Benny... and there was no greater bonding agent than the sharing of racial jokes... And, one by one, the black jokes came, like a scripted conspiracy that all men had mysteriously been born with... He was amazed to see how quickly they spiritually came together... It was their rallying cry. As though, just by the existence of these black people, the implied enemy, it made them remember that they had to stick together... and Joey took all this unspoken information to heart. He decided that the telling of black jokes would be the first step in making any new friend, and the importance subliminally convinced him that all the stereotypes implied in these jokes were Gospel..." Benny is also influenced by the meetings he has with Joe's brothers; Kenny and Danny Hennessy. "... In a series of home run blows, the dog lay still, and up above, the red headed monster, Kenny Hennessy, stood with the bat resting on his shoulder... There is no other way for the de

Download or read book Wild Encounters written by David Yarrow and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From big cats to elephants and indigenous communities, Wild Encounters is a must-have for nature lovers, conservationists, and anyone who is inspired by all that remains wild. David Yarrow travels from pole to pole and continent to continent to visit frozen Arctic tundras, vast African deserts, primordial rain forests, and remote villages, inviting us to truly connect with subjects we mistakenly think we have seen before. Yarrow takes the familiar—lions, elephants, tigers, polar bears—and makes it new again by creating iconic images that deliberately connect with us at a highly emotional level. For more than two decades, this legendary wildlife photographer has been putting himself in harm's way to capture the most unbelievable close-up animal photography, amassing an incomparable photographic portfolio, spanning six continents. Driven by a passion for sharing and preserving Earth's last great wild cultures and species, Yarrow is as much a conservationist as a photographer and artist. His work has transcended wildlife photography and is now collected and shown as fine art in some of the most famed galleries around the world. Featuring 160 of his most breathtaking photographs, Wild Encounters offers a truly intimate view of some of the world's most compelling—and threatened—species and captures the splendor and very soul of what remains wild and free in our world through portraits that feel close enough to touch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging personal account of one of America's most contested wildlife conservation campaigns has as its central character the black-footed ferret. Once feared extinct, and still one of North America's rarest mammals, the black-footed ferret exemplifies the ecological, social, and political challenges of conservation in the West, including the risks involved with intensive captive breeding and reintroduction to natural habitat. David Jachowski draws on more than a decade of experience working to save the ferret. His unique perspective and informative anecdotes reveal the scientific and human aspects of conservation as well as the immense dedication required to protect a species on the edge of extinction. By telling one story of conservation biology in practiceÑits routine work, triumphs, challenges, and inevitable conflictsÑthis book gives readers a greater understanding of the conservation ethic that emerged on the Great Plains as part of one of the most remarkable recovery efforts in the history of the Endangered Species Act.

Book excerpt: “A groundbreaking work about race and the American landscape, and a deep meditation on nature…wise and beautiful.”—Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk A Foreword Reviews Best Book of the Year and Nautilus Silver Award Winner In me, there is the red of miry clay, the brown of spring floods, the gold of ripening tobacco. All of these hues are me; I am, in the deepest sense, colored. Dating back to slavery, Edgefield County, South Carolina—a place “easy to pass by on the way somewhere else”—has been home to generations of Lanhams. In The Home Place, readers meet these extraordinary people, including Drew himself, who over the course of the 1970s falls in love with the natural world around him. As his passion takes flight, however, he begins to ask what it means to be “the rare bird, the oddity.” By turns angry, funny, elegiac, and heartbreaking, The Home Place is a meditation on nature and belonging by an ornithologist and professor of ecology, at once a deeply moving memoir and riveting exploration of the contradictions of black identity in the rural South—and in America today. “When you’re done with The Home Place, it won’t be done with you. Its wonders will linger like everything luminous.”—Star Tribune “A lyrical story about the power of the wild…synthesizes his own family history, geography, nature, and race into a compelling argument for conservation and resilience.”—National Geographic
