Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bermuda in Periodical Literature: With Occasional References to Other Works a Bibliography The list which follows is a reprint, with considerable additions, of two series which have already appeared in The Boston Book Company's quarterly periodical. Bulletin of Bibliography. The first or preliminary one of these series may be found in Vol. i, pp. 52-54 and 74-76. The second, embracing all the items contained in the first, appeared in twenty-six numbers of that periodical, extending from October, 1900 (Vol. 2, No. 5), to January, 1907 (Vol. 4, No. 10). Unless otherwise indicated, all the entries recorded have passed under the eye of the compiler. By far the greater part of what has been written concerning Bermuda has appeared in various periodicals and the publications of learned societies. These writings may roughly be divided into historical and descriptive, and those relating to natural history. Of history, properly speaking, little has appeared; but many descriptive articles have been written by tourists and others who have visited those beautiful islands. Their geographical situation and subtropical fauna and llora early attracted the attention of those interested in scientific phenomena. Soon after beginning this work it became apparent to the compiler that the Bermudas have for the past half-century been a favorite field of the zoologist, botanist, and geologist. Bearing this in mind, a special effort has been made to render the record of their labors as complete as possible. In order to do this, references are made tosome works which are not periodicals, mostly, however, by authors who have also made contributions to periodical literature concerning the flora and fauna of those islands.

Download or read book Rare Birds written by Elizabeth Gehrman and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring story of David Wingate, a living legend among birders, who brought the Bermuda petrel back from presumed extinction Rare Birds is a tale of obsession, of hope, of fighting for redemption against incredible odds. It is the story of how Bermuda’s David Wingate changed the world—or at least a little slice of it—despite the many voices telling him he was crazy to try. This tiny island in the middle of the North Atlantic was once the breeding ground for millions of Bermuda petrels. Also known as cahows, the graceful and acrobatic birds fly almost nonstop most of their lives, drinking seawater and sleeping on the wing. But shortly after humans arrived here, more than three centuries ago, the cahows had vanished, eaten into extinction by the country’s first settlers. Then, in the early 1900s, tantalizing hints of the cahows’ continued existence began to emerge. In 1951, an American ornithologist and a Bermudian naturalist mounted a last-ditch effort to find the birds that had come to seem little more than a legend, bringing a teenage Wingate—already a noted birder—along for the ride. When the stunned scientists pulled a blinking, docile cahow from deep within a rocky cliffside, it made headlines around the world—and told Wingate what he was put on this earth to do. Starting with just seven nesting pairs of the birds, Wingate would devote his life to giving the cahows the chance they needed in their centuries-long struggle for survival — battling hurricanes, invasive species, DDT, the American military, and personal tragedy along the way. It took six decades of obsessive dedication, but the cahow, still among the rarest of seabirds, has reached the hundred-pair mark and continues its nail-biting climb to repopulation. And Wingate has seen his dream fulfilled as the birds returned to Nonsuch, an island habitat he hand-restored for them plant-by-plant in anticipation of this day. His passion for resuscitating this “Lazarus species” has made him an icon among birders, and his story is an inspiring celebration of the resilience of nature, the power of persistence, and the value of going your own way.
Download or read book Flora of Madeira written by J. R. Press and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flora of Madeira is the first book to describe fully all of the vascular plants of the Madeiran and Salvage Islands. It covers over 1360 species of native and naturalized plants, many of them little known. A high proportion of taxa, some 16%, are endemic to the islands themselves or are restricted to Macaronesia (the collective name for the archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira, Salvages, Canaries and Cape Verdes). Isolated from other land-masses, the Madeiran islands are botanically rich and diverse, and the rugged and beautiful landscape embraces a broad range of habitats. Madeira also contains the most extensive remaining areas of laurisilva, the evergreen forest which is the last representative of the ancient Tethyan forests of S. Europe and N. Africa. The remote Salvage Islands have a smaller but equally interesting flora. Flora provides descriptions and keys for taxa at all levels, as well as information on habitats, distributions and flowering times. Local names are also cited. Fifty-seven plates of original drawings illustrate 212 of the Madeiran and Macaronesian endemic taxa, some of them depicted for the first time. Introductory chapters describe the geography of the islands, the main vegetation types and the extensive measures being implemented to conserve this unique flora. Flora of Madeira is the only fully comprehensive publication on the wild flora of the Madeiran and Salvage Islands, for use as both a reference work and a field guide. This book is a digital reprint of ISBN 0-11-310017-5 (1994).
