Book excerpt: In the beginning when humans sparsely populated the world, the earth and sea were infinitely rich in animals.Now, humans have multiplied and most of the ancient animal wealth of our world has been destroyed. Yet, here and there, for a variety of reasons, some animal species still exist in immense numbers. In this spectacular photographic book, world-renowned photographer Fred Bruemmer captures this vision of Eden, of a world that once existed. Glimpses of Paradise opens with a backward glance at the world of animal wealth that once existed, with a special focus on two species: the North American bison, a majestic animal that once roamed the Plains in the millions, now in the hundreds and the now-extinct passenger pigeon.Then, Bruemmer examines some forty massings of animals with exquisite photographs and accompanying text.Some of the many animals included are the flamingo that gathers in pink millions on Africa`s shrimp-rich saline lakes, the monarch butterfly that hibernates in the millions on remote mountains in Mexico, and the horseshoe crab, most ancient of all animals, that comes ashore on Delaware Bay, New Jersey every May when the moon is full and the tides are high. Bruemmer has been photographing animal massings around the world for the past ten years.In Glimpses of Paradise these visions of the past come alive. Respected internationally as a writer and photographer, Fred Bruemmer is the author of numerous books including for Key Porter Seals: In the Wild, Arctic Memories, Arctic World, Seasons of the Seal, From Acadia to Yellowstone and The Narwhal. His fascination with wildlife has taken him to every corner of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decades of the twentieth century saw an unprecedented assault by humans on nature and animals throughout the world. Instead of moving toward a better world, we are now facing a tidal wave of ecological challenges that threatens to sweep away whatever progress we have achieved. In this landmark book, author Paul G. Irwin presents an alarming look at what we have done—and continue to do—to animals, to our environment, and to ourselves. Losing Paradise first examines the beliefs that lie at the core of our destructive actions—beliefs that place humans above and against nature. It then details the results of these distorted values, including the cruel treatment of animals through factory farming, hunting, and trapping, and the destruction of our environment. But while Losing Paradise shows the damage we have done, it also shows the steps we can take to build a truly humane society and reclaim our wondrous natural world. Most important, it reminds us of the paradise this earth can be for all God’s creatures.

Download or read book Plundering Paradise written by Robin Broad and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gripping portrait of environmental politics chronicles the devastating destruction of the Philippine countryside and reveals how ordinary men and women are fighting back. Traveling through a land of lush rainforests, the authors have recorded the experiences of the people whose livelihoods are disappearing along with their country's natural resources. The result is an inspiring, informative account of how peasants, fishers, and other laborers have united to halt the plunder and to improve their lives. These people do not debate global warming—they know that their very lives depend on the land and oceans, so they block logging trucks, protest open-pit mining, and replant trees. In a country where nearly two-thirds of the children are impoverished, the reclaiming of natural resources is offering young people hope for a future. Plundering Paradise is essential reading for anyone interested in development, the global environment, and political life in the Third World.

This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to present a reality view for Papua New Guinea based on many years of first-hand field work and research accounts. It further assesses sustainability in the light of 47,000 years of a self-sustained type of civilization without bad global impacts. This book contrasts the modern sustainable development failures from the colonial times onwards, as promoted by the ‘western world’, namely Australia, the UK, EU and the U.S as well as Japan and now, China, in times of globalization, Trump’ism and royal governance (Papua New Guinea is still part of the British Dominion and of the Antarctic Treaty etc). This assessment and book is the first of its kind also employing modern data analysis, Landscape Ecology principles (patterns and processes, telecoupling) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Open Access data focusing on ecological economics, marxism, socialism and contrasting it with current capitalism and neoliberalism that Papua New Guinea is fully exposed to. Throughout the 31 book chapters various aspects are covered how a further insistence on the ‘new’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and so-called Development Aid will result in unwanted side effects and perverse outcomes for Papua New Guinea and for the world in times of wider ‘global change’ and unprecedented man-made crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a long-forgotten era - an age of slavery, of glorious new scientific innovations, revolutionary wonders, warrior heroes, Titans, Druids and bards, magicians, dragons and serpents, of angels and gods; an age of immortality and sacrificial death, of oppression, exploitation, social upheaval, indeed the age of the catastrophic biblical flood and, the fulcrum to social structure, of the struggle for control of the closely guarded secret and eternal wisdom of the undying Holy Elect of Paradise - in a long forgotten era, a man, just a mortal man, may have escaped his death by usurping the power of the goddess and her people to his own ends in a political coup that changed his world, and produced ours... Join Dr Michael Cahill as he explores the origins of civilisation, using information from history, archaeology, mythology, linguistics, geology, astronomy and philosophy to learn more about who we are. Paradise Rediscovered will challenge your intellect and spur your imagination, as you journey with him to uncover secrets, solve mysteries and consider the foundations that shaped our modern society and may yet change its face again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida possesses more wetlands than any other state except Alaska, yet since 1990 more than 84,000 acres have been lost to development despite presidential pledges to protect them. How and why the state's wetlands are continuing to disappear is the subject of Paving Paradise. Journalists Craig Pittman and Matthew Waite spent nearly four years investigating the political expedience, corruption, and negligence on the part of federal and state agencies that led to a failure to enforce regulations on developers. They traveled throughout the state, interviewed hundreds of people, dug through thousands of documents, and analyzed satellite imagery to identify former wetlands that were now houses, stores, and parking lots. Exposing the unseen environmental consequences of rampant sprawl, Pittman and Waite explain how wetland protection creates the illusion of environmental protection while doing little to stem the tide of destruction.

Despite a spate of murders at the high-end Island Resort, Harriet Monroe loves her job. The resort made the coveted number one spot on Pampered Magazine's list for "must-visit" vacations and she intends to hang onto that position with her new ad campaigns. If only life would stop getting in the way.
When the resort's chief financial officer moves into the cottage next to Harriet's she tries to be a good neighbor but he treats her like three day old fish earmarked for the trash bin. Then a well-to-do guest, a famous action hero film star, reports his personal assistant missing and it's all hands on deck to find the young woman. As if she wasn't busy enough, Harriet begins working with a world-renowned neurologist to try to retrieve the memories from her first eight years. The procedures could be harmful- and the memories downright dangerous.
A cozy mystery series set in a tropical island resort with female amateur sleuth Harriet Monroe.

Download or read book Regulating Paradise written by David L. Callies and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land use in Hawai‘i remains the most regulated of all the fifty states. According to many sources, the process of going from raw land to the completion of a project may well average ten years given that ninety-five percent of raw land is initially classified by the State Land Use Commission as either conservation or agriculture. How did this happen and to what end? Will it continue? What laws and regulations control the use of land? Is the use of land in Hawai‘i a right or a privilege? These questions and others are addressed in this long-overdue second edition of Regulating Paradise, a comprehensive and accessible text that will guide readers through the many layers of laws, plans, and regulations that often determine how land is used in Hawai‘i. It provides the tools to analyze an enormously complex process, one that frustrates public and private sectors alike, and will serve as an essential reference for students, planners, regulators, lawyers, land use professionals, environmental and cultural organizations, and others involved with land use and planning.

Download or read book Footprints in Paradise written by Andrea E. Murray and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic imperative of sustainable tourism development frequently shapes life on small subtropical islands. In Okinawa, ecotourism promises to provide employment for a dwindling population of rural youth while preserving the natural environment and bolstering regional pride. Footprints in Paradise explores the transformation in community and sense of place as Okinawans come to view themselves through the lens of the visiting tourist consumer, and as their language, landscapes, and wildlife are reconstituted as treasured and vulnerable resources. The rediscovery and revaluing of local ecological knowledge strengthens Okinawan or Uchinaa cultural heritage, despite the controversial presence of US military bases amidst a hegemonic Japanese state.
