Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naturalist's Guide to the Americas The Ecological Society of America is a national organization of approximately 500 members, the majority of whom are connected with universities, colleges, and other educational or research institutions. The membership includes a larger proportion of persons interested in the preservation of natural conditions for research in pure science and for educational work than any other of our national scientific societies. It publishes the journal Ecology, which is largely devoted to contributions on the original flora and fauna and on their conditions of existence. In 1917 a committee was charged with the listing of all preserved and preservable areas in North America in which natural conditions persist. The original committee included about twenty-five members, scattered throughout the United States and Canada. The first work was to make the list and when this had made some progress, to urge the reservation of such important areas as demanded immediate attention. The whole problem of securing the preservation of areas, which is one of the objects of the committee work, is very complex. At the outset the committee felt the lack of any definite guides in carrying on the work. The organization which produced the Naturalists Guide has been a growth; committee membership is limited to those willing to do some kind of work, and includes about seventy-five members. It is a committee on the preservation of nature. Its efforts are directed toward the preservation of natural areas with original flora and fauna (or as nearly so as may obtain) and the maintenance of the natural biotic balance in existing preserves. During the preparation of the present volume the committee aimed to have two members in each state (and province of Canada). These members(1) supplied information relative to natural areas, etc. in their territory and(2) undertook to interest one local organization concerned with pure science, e.g., a state academy or natural history society, in the preservation of natural areas, commonly indicated by the appointment of a committee. This constitutes a permanent organization charged, among other things, with the keeping of the guide up to date. Other members were engaged in investigating certain topics and writing reports, in interesting pure science organizations to support the work of publication and distribution of information, and in selecting natural areas within existing public forests. The present volume has been prepared with the aid of various institutions and organizations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are thousands of moth species in the northeast of North America, and while it might seem that they are all drab grays and browns, there is actually a startling variety. They come in a rainbow of colors, from brilliant oranges and pinks to soft greens and violets. There are moths with colorful leopard-like spots, and ones that look more like B-movie aliens; some that are as large as your hand, and others the size of a grain of rice. With helpful tips on how to attract and identify moths, range maps and season graphs showing when and where to find each species, and clear photographs that use the unique Peterson arrow system for easy identification, this guide provides everything an amateur or experienced moth-watcher needs. Sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation and the Roger Tory Peterson Institute.
Download or read book Seeking the American Tropics written by James A. Kushlan and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the southernmost region of the Florida peninsula was seen by outsiders as wild and inaccessible, one of the last frontiers in the quest to understand and reveal the natural history of the continent. Seeking the American Tropics tells the stories of the explorers and adventurers who—for better and for worse—helped open the unique environment of South Florida to the world. Beginning with the arrival of Juan Ponce de León in 1513, James Kushlan describes how most of the famous Spanish explorers never made it to South Florida, leaving the area’s rich natural history out of scientific records for the next 250 years. It wasn’t until the British colonial and early American periods that the first surveyors were commissioned and the first naturalists—Titian Peale and John James Audubon—arrived to collect, draw, and report the subtropical flora and fauna that were so unique to North America. Moving into the railroad era, Kushlan illuminates the activities of scientists such as Henry Nehrling and Charles Torrey Simpson alongside the dabbling of wealthy amateur naturalists. He follows the story to the 1920s, when tourism was flourishing and signs of ecological damage were starting to show. Years of wildlife trade, resource extraction, invasive species introduction, and swamp drainage had taken their toll. And many of the naturalists who had been outspoken about protecting South Florida’s environment had also played a part in its destruction. Today the region is among one of the most thoroughly studied places on the planet—but at a cost. In this absorbing and cautionary tale, Kushlan illustrates how exploration has so often trumped conservation throughout history. He exposes how much of the natural world we have already lost in this vivid portrait of the Florida of yesterday.
