Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "OO" Ranch ~ Home For Thousands Of Years explores the evidence of native cultures which called this spot of land in eastern Oregon "home" over the past 12,000 years. Geography created a well-watered valley in the midst of an often hot, dry region. Ever since the end of the "Ice Age", flocks of migrating waterfowl and wandering herds of grazing beasts gathered here. This drew ancient human groups to this rich hunting ground, intent on utilizing the wealth of the land to feed their families. Their hunting weapons and food processing tools show us how much they valued this region as a vast natural resource which was so important to their life ways for many generations. "OO" Ranch ~ Home For Thousands Of Years ... features examples of extraordinary stone artifacts found on the lands of the ranch, now a part of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wallace, together with Darwin was the founder of modern evolutionary theory, and when Darwin received Wallace's paper of 1858 (a year before the publication of the Origin of Species), he wrote to Lyell "All my originality, whatever it may amount to, will be smashed"."I never saw a more striking coincidence.Your words (referring to Lyell's earlier warnings that Darwin might be anticipated) have come true with a vengeance." In 1858 Wallace was already preparing an announcement of an importent zoogeographical discovery, which proposed a boundary line dividing the archipelago of Indo-Malayan and Australian zoological regions. The culmination of Wallace's approach was achieved in his monumental two-volume "The geographical Distribution." and it is a pioneer-work in zoogeography."--Abebooks website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Geographical Distribution of Animals" in 2 volumes is one of the best-known works by Alfred Russel Wallace. Extending the system developed by the British zoologist Philip Sclater for birds – which divided the earth into six separate geographic regions for describing species distribution – to cover mammals, reptiles and insects as well, Wallace created the basis for the zoogeographic regions still in use today. He discussed all of the factors then known to influence the current and past geographic distribution of animals within each geographic region, and provided maps showing factors, such as elevation of mountains, depths of oceans, and the character of regional vegetation, that affected the distribution of animals. Wallace summarized all the known families and genera of the higher animals and listed their known geographic distributions.
