Download or read book How the Earthquake Bird Got Its Name and Other Tales of an Unbalanced Nature written by H.H. Shugart and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although people have been altering earth’s landscapes to some extent for tens of thousands of years, humankind today is causing massive changes to the planet. Such widespread environmental change is accompanied by accelerating rates of species extinction. In this book, noted ecologist H. H. Shugart presents important ecological concepts through entertaining animal parables. He tells the stories of particular birds and mammals—the packrat, ivory-billed woodpecker, penguin, dingo, European rabbit, and others—and what their fates reveal about the interactions between environmental change and the extinctions or explosions of species populations. Change is the root of many planetary problems, but it is also an intrinsic feature of our living planet. Shugart explores past environmental change, discusses the non-existence of a “balance of Nature,” and documents how human alterations have affected plants, soils, and animals. He looks with hope toward a future in which thoughtful people learn—and use—ecological science to protect the landscapes upon which terrestrial creatures depend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protagonists of these tales are herdsmen, sheep shearers, miners hardened by a life at the limits of the animalistic: a varied and desperate humanity that nevertheless knows how to develop and preserve the profound sense of human solidarity, which is revealed at every moment. But the real protagonist is the inhospitable bush, an immense and boundless space that, between prairie and bush, constitutes a large part of the Australian territory. This environment, however, also generates behaviour bordering on the absurd and insane, to the point of comic figures. "Triangles of Life and Other Stories" is a short story collection by Henry Lawson.
