Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Life in Canada Canada, in a great belt that runs from sea to sea, across the southern territory of her dominion, is the civilised, rapidly growing country which we all know to-day. Therein, in out-of-the-way places where mankind pass not too often, there are still quantities of big game and fur-bearing animals and wild-fowl to delight the lover of nature and solitude. But it is not of such places that I write in this narrative - not of the outdoor places that are within reach of those who inhabit the populated south country of Canada; for the wanderings which it has been my good fortune to experience, and which henceforth I will endeavour to describe, were through a part of the great unpeopled North, which even today comprises more than half of the large Dominion of Canada. So great is the far north territory that there is many a hundred miles on which no white man has yet set foot, and even where the white man has been, in the distant interior near to the Barren Lands, in many cases the footprints have been so few that an old Indian inhabitant of a district could easily count those who had passed in a lifetime on his ten fingers.

It is rather to point out some interesting features in the life story of these birds as they are related to the North Carolina situation. As to the history of Canada geese, suffice it to say that they were once unbelievably abundant and are now somewhere near the threshold of Obscurity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Burgess Animal Book for Children The cordial reception given the Burgess Bird Book for Children, together with numerous letters to the author asking for information on the habits and characteristics of many of the mammals of America, led to the preparation of this volume. It is offered merely as an introduction to the four-footed friends, little and big, which form so important a part of the wild life of the United States and Canada. There has been no attempt to describe or classify sub-species. That is for the scientist and student with specific interests. The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the larger groups - orders, families, and divisions of the latter, so that typical representatives may readily be recognized and their habits understood. Instead of the word mammal the word animal has been used throughout as having a better defined meaning to the average child.

Download or read book Game Animals Birds and Fishes of British Columbia Canada Classic Reprint written by Bureau Of Provincial Information and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Game Animals, Birds, and Fishes of British Columbia, Canada During all these years millions of dollars' worth of furs have been taken away and yet the stock is not exhausted, while game of all kinds is still here in quantity. owing to its topography no other part of the Continent is so favoured in this respect. The area of the Province is, roughly speaking, 700 miles long by 400 miles wide, and throughout this enormous territory there is not a square mile that does not contain game of some kind; moreover, there are miles and miles of mountains that will not be settled for years to come, and where there will always be game. There are three principal ranges of mountains - the Coast, the Selkirks, and the Rockies - and they form the watershed of a large number of lakes and rivers, the largest of which are the Columbia, Fraser, Skeena, and Stikine Rivers. The climate varies considerably, the coast being more humid, with little frostnd, except in the north, a very light snowfall; to the east of the Coast range of mountains there is a dry belt, the rain and snow fall being light, the summers hotter, and the Winters, while colder, are never severe or of lengthy duration. Farther to the east, where the Selkirks are entered, the snowfall gets heavier and the cold increases during the winter. The climate is healthy everywhere; in fact, British Columbia is one vast health resort, and in the interior the fall months are especially delightful. Apart from its sporting attractions, a few weeks in the invigorating air of our mountains, or on the waters of our coast among the islands, will prove one of the best tonics in the world to the tired and weary business-man or to the invalid in search of health. For mountain-climbers or those interested in botany, geology, etc there are unlimited resources. There are no poisonous insects or reptiles in the mountains, and any mosquitoes or flies there may be in the valleys do not last long, and are always gone by the hunting season. Good water can always be obtained in the dryest parts, even in the height of summer. Ladies can, and frequently do, go into the wilds, and are absolutely sure of being treated with the greatest respect by the roughest of backwoodsmen or most uncivilized Indian. What is more, they frequently return with a number of fine trophies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers in Canada The publishers of this book asked me to write a series of works for the reading of boys and girls which should deal with "real adventures," in parts of the world either wild and uncontrolled by any civilized government, or at any rate regions full of dangers, of wonderful discoveries; in which the daring and heroism of white men (and sometime of white women) stood out clearly against backgrounds of unfamiliar landscapes, peopled with strange nations, savage tribes, dangerous beasts, or wonderful birds. These books would again and again illustrate the first coming of the white race into regions inhabited by people of a different type, with brown, black, or yellow skins; how the European was received, and how he treated these races of the soil which gradually came under his rule owing to his superior knowledge, weapons, wealth, or powers of persuasion. The books were to tell the plain truth, even if here and there they showed the white man to have behaved badly, or if they revealed the fact that the American Indian, the Negro, the Malay, the black Australian was sometimes cruel and treacherous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Eastern Canada Of late years there has been a great awakening of interest in the subject of natural history. More and more people are beginning to realize the pleasure and profit that can be derived from observation of common natural objects. In this growing field of nature study, few subjects have attracted so much popular attention as birds and few forms of life appeal so strongly to the aesthetic sense. They are beautiful; they arouse curiosity; their elusiveness piques the imagination; and by presenting constantly new aspects they never become commonplace. The ornithological side is one from which the problems of nature can be successfully attacked from so many standpoints and in so many ways that there is interesting and valuable work for all to accomplish according to individual taste or opportunity. Those who incline towards systematic work can split their definitions as finely as human powers of observation permit. The animal psychologist can develop his problems as far as ingenuity can devise methods for experimentation. The ordinary nature lover can observe and note as painstakingly as opportunity permits; he can record information of scientific as well as popular interest, take pleasure in observing passing beauties, train his powers of observation, and acquire a knowledge that greatly increases his capacity for appreciation of nature. Even the unsentimental, practical man, who has little outward sympathy with abstract beauty, has his attention attracted by the evident economic value of birds. The "Birds of Eastern Canada" has been written to awaken and, where it already exists, to stimulate an interest, both aesthethic and practical, in the study of Canadian birds and to suggest the sentimental, scientific, and economic value, of that study; to assist in the identification of native species; and to furnish the economist with a ready means of determining bird friend from bird foe that he may act intelligently towards them and to the best interest of himself and the country at large; to present in a readily accessible form reliable data upon which measures of protective legislation may be based; to point out some of the pitfalls that have caught the inexperienced in the past; and to suggest methods for their future avoidance. Scope Of The Book. This work covers all the birds that the ordinary observer is likely to meet with between the Atlantic coast and the prairies north of the International Boundary. This region forms a natural zoological area (see Distribution, page 8), including what may be called the eastern woodlands of Canada, a fairly homogeneous section, physically, geographically, and zoologically. The prairies are radically different in character and, consequently, exhibit an entirely different aspect of bird life.

Download or read book The Subjugation of Canadian Wildlife written by Max Foran and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardly a day goes by without news of the extinction or endangerment of yet another animal species, followed by urgent but largely unheeded calls for action. An eloquent denunciation of the failures of Canada's government and society to protect wildlife from human exploitation, Max Foran's The Subjugation of Canadian Wildlife argues that a root cause of wildlife depletions and habitat loss is the culturally ingrained beliefs that underpin management practices and policies. Tracing the evolution of the highly contestable assumptions that define the human–wildlife relationship, Foran stresses the price wild animals pay for human self-interest. Using several examples of government oversight at the federal, provincial, and territorial levels, from the Species at Risk Act to the Biodiversity Strategy, Protected Areas Network, and provincial management plans, this volume shows that wildlife policies are as much – or more – about human needs, priorities, and profit as they are about preservation. Challenging established concepts including ecological integrity, adaptive management, sport hunting as conservation, and the flawed belief that wildlife is a renewable resource, the author compels us to recognize animals as sentient individuals and as integral components of complex ecological systems. A passionate critique of contemporary wildlife policy, The Subjugation of Canadian Wildlife calls for belief-change as the best hope for an ecologically healthy, wildlife-rich Canada.
