Download or read book The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles written by Frederick Davis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-02 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archie Carr, one of the greatest biologists of the twentieth century, played a leading part in finding a new and critical role for natural history and systematics in a post-1950s world dominated by the glamorous science of molecular biology. With the rise of molecular biology came a growing popular awareness of species extinction. Carr championed endangered sea turtles, and his work reflects major shifts in the study of ecology and evolution. A gifted nature writer, his books on the natural history of sea turtles and their habitats in Florida, the Caribbean, and Africa entertained and educated a wide audience. Carr's conservation ethic grew from his field work as well as his friendships with the fishermen who supplied him with many of the stories he retold so engagingly. With Archie Carr as the focus, The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles explores the evolution of the naturalist tradition, biology, and conservation during the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Second Edition of a definitive semi-technical book related to the biology and conservation of the sea turtles that live in the nearby waters and nest on the beaches of Southwest Florida. Originally published as, The Loggerhead Turtle in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, this edition has been updated to include more information about the biology and ecology of the four other species of sea turtles that share the marine environment and have life histories that in many ways are similar to that of the loggerhead turtle. This book details the results of a 30-year study on Sanibel and Captiva islands and which extended to many other of the barrier island chain along the Southwest Florida coast. Sea turtle biology, ancestry, taxonomy, physiology, diet, reproductive behavior, embryological development, and survival problems are some of the subjects discussed. Conservation biology has played an important role in safe-guarding the survival of the Endangered and Threatened sea turtles of the Gulf of Mexico. Long-term conservation efforts on the beaches of Southwest Florida have had positive results and have had a primary role in the recovery of the region's sea turtles. The historical aspects of this work are fully covered in this book as are many of the author's personal experiences as he contributed nearly a lifetime of effort and has seen his work and that of others become a success.This book contains a variety of superb images including photographs, original drawings, maps, and graphics rendered by Warren Boutchia and Mary Lou Schadt. Noted turtle specialist, Dr. Peter Pritchard wrote the Introduction.
