Download or read book North Woods River written by Eileen M. McMahon and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The St. Croix River, the free-flowing boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota, is a federally protected National Scenic Riverway. The area’s first recorded human inhabitants were the Dakota Indians, whose lands were transformed by fur trade empires and the loggers who called it the “river of pine.” A patchwork of farms, cultivated by immigrants from many countries, followed the cutover forests. Today, the St. Croix River Valley is a tourist haven in the land of sky-blue waters and a peaceful escape for residents of the bustling Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan region. North Woods River is a thoughtful biography of the river over the course of more than three hundred years. Eileen McMahon and Theodore Karamanski track the river’s social and environmental transformation as newcomers changed the river basin and, in turn, were changed by it. The history of the St. Croix revealed here offers larger lessons about the future management of beautiful and fragile wild waters.

  • Release : 2017-03-06
  • ISBN : 9781544239163
  • Pages : 388 pages

Download or read book St Croix Stories written by Buz Swerkstrom and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of more than 80 newspaper and magazine articles, and more than 180 black-and-white photos, adds up to essentially a modern history of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, one of eight original components of the national Wild and Scenic Rivers System. From early-years land acquisition to visions for the future, from the headwaters near Solon Springs, Wisconsin, to the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers at Prescott, Wisconsin, from celebration to controversy, this book delves into most of the significant topics and events of the period. It's all here: recreation, research, new buildings, updated management plans, protection organizations and strategies, stewardship forums and workshops. Buz Swerkstrom may well have written more about the Riverway than anyone else during the three decades the book covers. Whether interviewing experts, covering management meetings and workshops, or witnessing field research, he captured it all thoroughly with a tape recorder and a camera. The result was stories with immediacy, passion, depth and historic significance.

Book Ecology and Evolution of the Freshwater Mussels Unionoida

Download or read book Ecology and Evolution of the Freshwater Mussels Unionoida written by G. Bauer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All those who think that bivalves are boring are in the best company. Karl von Frisch is reported to have turned the pages more quickly in texts where bivalves were treated because, according to him, they literally lack any behaviour. The fact that they can filtrate huge amounts of water, burrow into the sedi ment, actively swim, drill holes into rocks and boats or detect shadows with the aid of pretty blue eyes located on the rim of their mantle obviously left v. Frisch unimpressed. Why, then, a book on the large freshwater mussels (Naiads or Unionoida), which on first sight are much less spectacular than the marine ones? The main reason is that they are keepers of secrets which they reveal only on close and careful inspection. This is not only true for the pearls some species produce and which over centuries have contributed to the treasures of bishops and kings, but particularly for their ecology: their life cycles are linked with those of fishes, some can occur in incredible densities and some can live for more than 100 years. Thus, the presence or absence of naiads in a lake or stream has manifold implications.
