Download or read book The Florida Panther written by David Maehr and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first field study of the Florida panther took place in 1973, so little was known about the animal that many scientists believed it was already extinct. During more extensive research conducted from 1981 to 1986, panthers were proven to exist, but the handful of senile, anemic, and parasite-infested specimens that were captured indicated a grim future. During those early years a remarkably enduring image of the panther was born, and despite voluminous data gathered over the next decade that showed the panther to be healthy, long-lived, and reproducing, that earlier image has yet to be dispelled. For nine years, biologist David S. Maehr served as project leader of the Florida Panther Study Project, helping to gather much of the later, surprisingly positive data. In The Florida Panther, he presents the first detailed portrait of the animal -- its biology, natural history, and current status -- and a realistic assessment of its prospects for survival. Maehr also provides an intriguing look at the life and work of a field biologist: how captures are made, the intricacies of radio-telemetry tracking, the roles of various team members. He describes the devastating intrusion of politics into scientific work, as he discusses the widespread problems caused by the failure of remote and ill-informed managers to provide needed support and to communicate effectively to the public the goals and accomplishments of the scientists. He examines controversial efforts to establish a captive breeding program and to manipulate the Florida panther's genetic stock with the introduction of relatives from west Texas. Protection of high-quality habitat, much of it in the hands of private landowners, is the key to the long-term survival of the Florida panther. Unless agency decisionmakers and the public are aware of the panther's true situation, little can be done to save it. This book will play a vital role in correcting widespread misconceptions about the panther's current condition and threats to its survival.

Download or read book Hunting Bear and Panther in the Old South written by James T McCafferty and published by Canebrake Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bear and panther that populated the woods and canebrakes of the lower Mississippi Valley in the 1800s left a permanent mark on the collective memory of that region. Unfortunately only a relatively small number of writings from that time have survived that provide real insight into the habits of those creatures and how the early settlers of that region hunted them. Writer James T. McCafferty has added richly to that scant body of Southern lore by collecting some wonderful but previously overlooked articles by an antebellum cotton planter and physician and presenting them in his new book, Hunting Bear and Panther in the Old South: The Writings of Dr. Henry J. Peck of Sicily Island, Louisiana. McCafferty, author of The Bear Hunter: The Life and Times of Robert Eager Bobo in the Canebrakes of the Old South and numerous articles on hunting history, introduces Peck's writings with a brief biography of Dr. Peck (1803-1881) and an overview of his works. Besides Peck's writing on the life cycles and the hunting of the animals named in the title, the book includes articles on hog and deer hunting in his day. Readers will find in this volume rarely encountered details about the weapons and methods used by nineteenth century sportsmen, such as Peck's descriptions of the "fire hunting" of deer, the making of the knives used by bear hunters, and accounts of dangerous-and even deadly-encounters with panther and bear. One of the book's appendices adds Peck's personal investigations and thoughts on the early 18th century fights between the French and the Natchez Indian tribe that took place on or near the doctor's appropriately named Battleground Plantation. Hunters and lovers of Southern history will welcome this book.

Download or read book Panther written by Michael Green and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Mike Green provides new insights into the creation and ultimate failure of the German Panther tank. In most people's opinion, the German Panther tank was the most elegant tank design of World War II. It embodied a balance of firepower, armor protection, and mobility unmatched by any other tank of the period. Yet, it was not the war-winner it might have been. Author Mike Green examines the disparity between the potential of the Panther design and the actuality of the fielded Panther tank in this book. Though many viewed the Panther as an engineering masterpiece and a technological breakthrough, it failed to meet expectations on the battlefield, and thus proved a major setback to Hitler's dreams of world domination. Green explores the evolution, and devolution, of the Panther, providing keen insight and new reasons for its ultimate failure.

Book excerpt: A Garden & Gun Best Book of 2020 “Witty and passionate.” —Lauren Groff “Craig Pittman has a remarkable talent for telling stories set in the Sunshine State that never fail to fascinate and entertain.”—Gilbert King “The definitive book on one of America’s least understood apex predators. The story of how Florida’s panthers were saved from extinction is one that both deserves and needs to be told.” —Dane Huckelbridge The captivating tale of the Florida panther, its survival and rescue from extinction With novelistic detail and an eye for the absurd, Craig Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle. This being Florida, there's more than a little weirdness, too. An engrossing narrative of wry humor, sharp writing and exhaustive reportage, Cat Tale shows what it takes to bring one species back and what unexpected costs such a decision brings.

Download or read book Panther Tract written by Melody Golding and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunting wild boar is a keenly held tradition in the Mississippi Delta. Fraught with danger, it challenges the hunter, observer, wildlife enthusiast, and landowner alike. Panther Tract is an insider's observance of extraordinary hunting, southern hospitality, camaraderie, and the love of dogs, horses, and hair-raising excitement. The over 160 photographs are representative of a “day at the hunt,” starting at dawn and ending well after dark. The tales center on vivid hunting experiences, both at Panther Tract, a large wilderness paradise in Yazoo County, owned by legendary southern gentleman Howard Brent, and in other locations in the Mississippi Delta. The narratives come from men, women, doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, politicians, farmers, sharecroppers' sons, and even a Hollywood screenwriter. Melody Golding's photographs focus on the Delta landscape and on the people and animals involved in the hunt. Portraits of the hunters, and their interactions with one another and their dogs and horses, fascinate. An award-winning photographer and an expert horsewoman, Golding brings a knowledgeable and critical eye to these images. The stories she collects range from traditional often humorous hunting tales to more serious accounts of the history of hog hunting in America. Hank Burdine, a Mississippi native and hunter who has written for many statewide publications, lends a broad vision to the history, statistics, and lore of hunting wild hogs. An appendix features hunt recipes by Chef John Folse and philosophy on the stewardship of harvesting the hog. A colorful and diverse assemblage of beautiful photographs and tales, this book reveals a treasured regional tradition.

Book excerpt: Amid rising tensions that will tear apart the United States, Florida in the 1830s is in turmoil. The Seminole Indians have been ordered to leave their ancestral lands for reservations in Kansas and Oklahoma, but they instead retreat into the swamps of the Everglades, where they are joined by slaves fleeing cruel plantation owners. One such slave is Calida, who once saved the life of Panther, war chief of the Egret Clan, and who has joined his people in hiding after seeing her master, Reddin Croon, brutally murder his wife. Despite their differences, Calida and Panther are drawn to each other, and though each denies it, they are soon deeply in love. The army has come to round up the Indians, using whatever force is necessary. As war chief, Panther is a special target. But so is Calida, for Reddin Croon has joined the army so that he can find and destroy the only witness to his terrible crime.
