Book Synopsis An Environmental History of the World by : J. Donald Hughes
Download or read book An Environmental History of the World written by J. Donald Hughes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Environmental History of the World is a concise history, from Ancient to Modern times, of the interaction between human societies and the other forms of life that inhabit our planet. This original work follows a chronological path through the history of mankind, in relationship to ecosystems around the world. Each chapter concentrates on a general period in human history which has been characterised by large scale changes in the relationship of human societies to the biosphere, and gives three case-studies that illustrate the significant patterns occurring at that time. Little environmental or historical knowledge is assumed from the reader in this introduction to environmental history.
Download or read book Extinct Birds written by Julian P. Hume and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive review of the hundreds of bird species that have become extinct over the last 1,000 years of habitat degradation, over-hunting and rat introduction. Extinct Birds has become the standard text on this subject, covering both familiar icons of extinction as well as more obscure birds, some known from just one specimen or from travellers' tales. This second edition is expanded to include dozens of new species, as more are constantly added to the list, either through extinction or through new subfossil discoveries. The book is the result of decades of research into literature and museum drawers, as well as caves and subfossil deposits, which often reveal birds long-gone that disappeared without ever being recorded by scientists while they lived. From Great Auks, Carolina Parakeets and Dodos to the amazing yet almost completely vanished bird radiations of Hawaii and New Zealand via rafts of extinction in the Pacific and elsewhere, this book is both a sumptuous reference and astounding testament to humanity's devastating impact on wildlife.
Book Synopsis Volume 1: Seabird Biodiversity and Human Activities by : Jaime A. Ramos
Download or read book Volume 1: Seabird Biodiversity and Human Activities written by Jaime A. Ramos and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seabirds are global travellers connecting oceans and seas all over the world, and facing multiple threats at local and global scales. Seabirds are long-lived top predators, reflecting changes at lower trophic levels, and are good models to assess ecological changes produced by human societies. Thus, world-wide collaborations are needed to understand seabird ecology and to develop effective conservation measures benefitting both humans and seabird populations. This book provides a modern overview on seabird biodiversity studies: it begins by covering the most up-to-date techniques to study seabirds, and then focus on pragmatic issues related with interactions between seabirds and humans, the use of seabirds as ecological indicators and conservation of seabirds. It gives an updated insight on all these topics and highlights gaps that need further development for a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between seabirds and human actions. This book covers the response of the seabird research community to a biodiversity crisis aiming to contribute towards environmental sustainability. It should provide inspiration to a wide range of professionals and students, including the much needed world-wide collaboration between research groups and practitioners. In this way seabird research and conservation provide an inspiration for the solution of global issues such as climate change.

Book Synopsis The Geographical Distribution of Animals by : Alfred Russel Wallace
Download or read book The Geographical Distribution of Animals written by Alfred Russel Wallace and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 781 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Geographical Distribution of Animals" in 2 volumes is one of the best-known works by Alfred Russel Wallace. Extending the system developed by the British zoologist Philip Sclater for birds – which divided the earth into six separate geographic regions for describing species distribution – to cover mammals, reptiles and insects as well, Wallace created the basis for the zoogeographic regions still in use today. He discussed all of the factors then known to influence the current and past geographic distribution of animals within each geographic region, and provided maps showing factors, such as elevation of mountains, depths of oceans, and the character of regional vegetation, that affected the distribution of animals. Wallace summarized all the known families and genera of the higher animals and listed their known geographic distributions. Volume 1: The Principles and General Phenomena of Distribution: Introductory The Means of Dispersal and the Migrations of Animals On Zoological Region… Classification as Affecting the Study of Geographical Distribution On the Distribution of Extinct Animals: The Extinct Mammalia of the Old World Extinct Mammalia of the New World Various Extinct Animals… Zoological Geography: The Order of Succession of the Regions… The Palæarctic Region The Ethiopian Region The Oriental Region The Australian Region Volume 2: The Neotropical Region The Nearctic Region Summary of the Past Changes and General Relations of the Several Regions Geographical Zoology: Introduction The Distribution of the Families and Genera of Mammalia The Distribution of the Families and Genera of Birds The Distribution of the Families and Genera of Reptiles and Amphibia The Distribution of the Families of Fishes… The Distribution of Some of the More Important Families and Genera of Insects An Outline of the Geographical Distribution of Mollusca Summary of the Distribution and Lines of Migration of the Several Classes of Animals…
