Book Synopsis Wings in the Desert by : Amadeo M. Rea
Download or read book Wings in the Desert written by Amadeo M. Rea and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a common but often unspoken arrogance on the part of outside observers that folk science and traditional knowledge—the type developed by Native communities and tribal groups—is inferior to the “formal science” practiced by Westerners. In this lucidly written and humanistic account of the O’odham tribes of Arizona and Northwest Mexico, ethnobiologist Amadeo M. Rea exposes the limitations of this assumption by exploring the rich ornithology that these tribes have generated about the birds that are native to their region. He shows how these peoples’ observational knowledge provides insights into the behaviors, mating habits, migratory patterns, and distribution of local bird species, and he uncovers the various ways that this knowledge is incorporated into the communities’ traditions and esoteric belief systems. Drawing on more than four decades of field and textual research along with hundreds of interviews with tribe members, Rea identifies how birds are incorporated, both symbolically and practically, into Piman legends, songs, art, religion, and ceremonies. Through highly detailed descriptions and accounts loaded with Native voice, this book is the definitive study of folk ornithology. It also provides valuable data for scholars of linguistics and North American Native studies, and it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how humans make sense of their world. It will be of interest to historians of science, anthropologists, and scholars of indigenous cultures and folk taxonomy.

This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Viva Natura: Field Guide to the Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals of Western Mexico is the first publication of its kind written about the fauna of this region. The purpose of the field guide is to introduce the reader to the wealth of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals of Western Mexico and help identify them in the field. This guide contains the vast majority of the conspicuous animals of the region. In this second edition there are 230 species in this guide and a total of 440 full-color photos. The guide is extremely easy to use. The book is completely bilingual (English and Spanish). The book commences with a brief introduction to the study area, its geography, climate and ecosystems. Chapters dedicated to the four groups of fauna (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) follow. Each chapter begins with an introduction followed by photographic plates that depict conspicuous species of the study area. All photos were taken by the author himself and with few exceptions, show animals in their natural habitat under completely natural conditions. Each species is described by both its common and scientific names and also by a set of icons that illustrate the species characteristics, such as its habits, diet, preferred habitat, protection status, ect. Color bands on the outer edge of each species plate indicate one of the three principal habitat types (Ocean, Coast and Islands, Freshwater, Forest and Gardens) where this particular species can be observed most frequently. Silhouette thumbs on the plates edges portray a typical member of each group of fauna, making browsing the guide more efficient. The final chapter of the book is dedicated to the conservation issues inside the study area. The book is supported by a companion website where additional texts, photos and also videos and sounds can be found.

Book Synopsis Ecological Regions of North America by :
Download or read book Ecological Regions of North America written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a first attempt at holistically classifying and mapping ecological regions across all three countries of the North American continent. A common analytical methodology is used to examine North American ecology at multiple scales, from large continental ecosystems to subdivisions of these that correlate more detailed physical and biological settings with human activities on two levels of successively smaller units. The volume begins with an overview of North America from an ecological perspective, concepts of ecological regionalization. This is followed by descriptions of the 15 broad ecological regions, including information on physical and biological setting and human activities. The final section presents case studies in applications of the ecological characterization methodology to environmental issues. The appendix includes a list of common and scientific names of selected species characteristic of the ecological regions.

Book Synopsis Native Names of Mexican Birds by : Roy E. Tomlinson
Download or read book Native Names of Mexican Birds written by Roy E. Tomlinson and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ornithologists and birdwatchers need a definitive treatise to consult when confronted with unfamiliar common names of birds in Mexico. As in the United States, people of Mexico use colloquial names when referring to local birds. Considering the large expanses of land and the diverse ethnic origins of the people, the common bird names often differ from one locality to another; and in some cases, several different names are used for the same species. These names are of Spanish or Indian origin or Hispanic modifications of the original Indian dialect. The use of multiple common names for one or more species is confusing to visiting foreigners, as well as to residents of Mexico. Several bird guides exist that give Mexican common names, but they make no attempt to assign more than one name to a species, to show where one common names is used for several species, or to designate the localities in which the names are used. This publication has been compiled to fill this void in the Mexican bird literature. Coauthor Birkenstein began to accumulate common names in an extensive cross-referenced file after she moved to Mexico in 1951. She is a avid birdwatcher and founder of the Audubon Society of Mexico, the only chapter chartered by the National Audubon Society outside of the United States. For nearly 30 years, she has collected names throughout Mexico during her constant birding trips. This endeavor has earned her the reputation as the authority on the common bird names of Mexico among her peers in Mexico and the United States. Similarly, but independently, coauthor Tomlinson became aware of the lack of a good Mexican bird name source when he was assigned to work on endangered species in the Southwestern United States and Sonora, Mexico, in the late 1960's. A partial list of birds and mammals with English and Spanish names had been distributed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1952 (Anon. 1952). This list was intended primarily to familiarize law enforcement officers and other Service employees working in and adjacent to Mexico with Spanish names of animals commonly encountered. Tomlinson used the list frequently while working in Mexico, but soon discovered that it was inadequate. To facilitate discussions about birds with Mexican Nationals, he began a revision of the list. It proved to be a formidable task. As a result of these efforts, more than 3,000 Mexican common names have been documented herein. They represent 89 families and 994 species of birds found in Mexico. These names were accumulated through the authors' extensive personal contacts in the field and through careful research of various source documents as listed in the references at the end of this publication.
