Download or read book Striper Wars written by Dick Russell and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-02-22 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When populations of striped bass began plummeting in the early 1980s, author and fisherman Dick Russell was there to lead an Atlantic coast conservation campaign that resulted in one of the most remarkable wildlife comebacks in the history of fisheries. As any avid fisherman will tell you, the striped bass has long been a favorite at the American dinner table; in fact, we've been feasting on the fish from the time of the Pilgrims. By 1980 that feasting had turned to overfishing by commercial fishing interests. Striper Wars is Dick Russell's inspiring account of the people and events responsible for the successful preservation of one of America's favorite fish and of what has happened since. Striper Wars is a tale replete with heroes--and some villains--as the struggle to save the striper migrated down the coast from Massachusetts to Maryland. Russell introduces us to a postman at arms against a burly trap-net fisherman, a renowned state governor caving to special interests, and a fishing-tackle maker fighting alongside marine biologists. And he describes how champions of this singular fish blocked power plants and New York's Westway Project that would otherwise compromise its habitat. Unfortunately, those who cheered the triumphant ending to the campaign, as the coastal states enacted measures that enabled the striped bass to make its comeback, have found the peace transitory--there is now a new enemy emerging on the front. In recent years a chronic bacterial disease has struck more than seventy percent of the striped bass population in the primary spawning waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Malnutrition seems to be a significant factor, brought on by the same overfishing that plagued the bass in the first battle--only this time, the overfishing is devastating menhaden, the silvery little fish upon which the bass feed. Lessons learned during the first conservation battle are being applied here, highlighting a need for a whole new ecosystem-based approach to conserving species. Only with constant vigilance by concerned citizens, Dick Russell reminds us, can environmental victories be sustained. This particular fish story is a personal one for him, and he follows the striper's saga today all the way to California, where the fish was introduced in 1879 and where agribusiness now threatens its future. For his conservation work during the 1980s Russell received a citizen's Chevron Conservation Award.

Download or read book Hitler s War written by Harry Turtledove and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2009-08-04 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stroke of the pen and history is changed. In 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, determined to avoid war, signed the Munich Accord, ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. But the following spring, Hitler snatched the rest of that country, and England, after a fatal act of appeasement, was fighting a war for which it was not prepared. Now, in this thrilling alternate history, another scenario is played out: What if Chamberlain had not signed the accord? In this action-packed chronicle of the war that might have been, Harry Turtledove uses dozens of points of view to tell the story: from American marines serving in Japanese-occupied China and ragtag volunteers fighting in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion in Spain to an American woman desperately trying to escape Nazi-occupied territory—and witnessing the war from within the belly of the beast. A tale of powerful leaders and ordinary people, at once brilliantly imaginative and hugely entertaining, Hitler’s War captures the beginning of a very different World War II—with a very different fate for our world today. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Harry Turtledove's The War that Came Early: West and East.

Book excerpt: Some two hundred miles above Earth, Commander Orlando Iron Wolf is ready to complete his final orbit of the day aboard the International Space Station. As he peers out the window and counts down the minutes until his shift ends, he suddenly sees a blinking light in the distance. Wolf has no idea that what he is seeing is a rogue comet headed straight on a collision course with Earth. Now it is up to him to try to stop it before the planet is destroyed. As NASA frantically moves the Hubble, Wolf is assigned to travel on the Atlantis shuttle to observe the comet. As the world prepares to save as many people as possible, Wolf ignores his foreboding feelings and heads toward the comet, where his mission inevitably fails and he is placed in suspended animation. Now cryogenically frozen, Wolf is watched through the centuries by an onboard computer. When Wolf is finally released from the comet's grip, thousands of years have passed, the earth has been fractured into two nearly identical planets, and humankind has reverted to living amid medieval times. In this exciting science fiction tale, a man must use his newly discovered superpowers and the female voice of a computer to stem the oppressive tide of those who want nothing more than to see him and the future annihilated forever.
