Book Synopsis Saving Yellowstone by : Megan Kate Nelson
Download or read book Saving Yellowstone written by Megan Kate Nelson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From historian and critically acclaimed author of The Three-Cornered War comes the captivating story of how Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in the years after the Civil War, offering “a fresh, provocative study…departing from well-trodden narratives about conservation and public recreation” (Booklist, starred review). Each year nearly four million people visit Yellowstone National Park—one of the most popular of all national parks—but few know the fascinating and complex historical context in which it was established. In late July 1871, the geologist-explorer Ferdinand Hayden led a team of scientists through a narrow canyon into Yellowstone Basin, entering one of the last unmapped places in the country. The survey’s discoveries led to the passage of the Yellowstone Act in 1872, which created the first national park in the world. Now, author Megan Kate Nelson examines the larger context of this American moment, illuminating Hayden’s survey as a national project meant to give Americans a sense of achievement and unity in the wake of a destructive civil war. Saving Yellowstone follows Hayden and two other protagonists in pursuit of their own agendas: Sitting Bull, a Lakota leader who asserted his peoples’ claim to their homelands, and financier Jay Cooke, who wanted to secure his national reputation by building the Northern Pacific Railroad through the Great Northwest. Hayden, Cooke, and Sitting Bull staked their claims to Yellowstone at a critical moment in Reconstruction, when the Ulysses S. Grant Administration and the 42nd Congress were testing the reach and the purpose of federal power across the nation. “A readable and unfailingly interesting look at a slice of Western history from a novel point of view” (Kirkus Reviews), Saving Yellowstone reveals how Yellowstone became both a subject of fascination and a metaphor for the nation during the Reconstruction era. This “land of wonders” was both beautiful and terrible, fragile and powerful. And what lay beneath the surface there was always threatening to explode.

Book excerpt: Here are some fun facts about the Yellowstone Caldera:- It's a real thing. It really does exist- It's a super volcano simmering just beneath the surface of Yellowstone National Park- It has erupted in the past, and will erupt again- Scientists believe that when it erupts again it will destroy 20 percent of the United States- You do NOT want to be in that 20 percent Tony and Hannah are just a couple of high school kids who happen across a woman who will change their lives forever. She's a carnival fortune teller who warns them of a great calamity soon to befall the United States of America. The old woman tells them it will be up to them to tell the world of the impending danger. And to save the lives of millions. It would be easy to dismiss her warnings as fantasy, except for the fact that she vanishes before their very eyes. And so begins a long journey for Tony and Hannah. A journey which involves a great mystery, intrigue and danger. Not to mention threats by a government which should be trying to help them, but instead is trying desperately to keep its secrets hidden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneath Yellowstone National Park a super-volcano has started rumbling. It's been there for a very long time, though most Americans are not aware of it. Every three hundred thousand years or so it erupts with devastating consequences. Scientists say it's getting ready to erupt. Naysayers say it's a hoax. The Interior Department closes the park and orders an evacuation. Most people comply, and those who don't stay behind knowing they're risking a very violent death. Millions will die. And the lives of every survivor will be changed forever. There really is a super-volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park. It really has erupted in the past and WILL erupt again. And when it does scientists say it'll take up to twenty percent of the United States with it. You do not want to be in that twenty percent.
Book Synopsis Yellowstone Wolves by : Douglas W. Smith
Download or read book Yellowstone Wolves written by Douglas W. Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume on the Yellowstone Wolf Project includes an introduction by Jane Goodall and an exclusive online documentary. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park was one of the greatest wildlife conservation achievements of the twentieth century. Eradicated after the park was first established, these iconic carnivores returned in 1995 when the US government reversed its century-old policy of extermination. In the intervening decades, scientists have built a one-of-a-kind field study of these wolves, their behaviors, and their influence on the entire ecosystem. Yellowstone Wolves tells the incredible story of the Yellowstone Wolf Project, as told by the people behind it. This wide-ranging volume highlights what has been learned in the decades since reintroduction, as well as the unique blend of research techniques used to gain this knowledge. We learn about individual wolves, population dynamics, wolf-prey relationships, genetics, disease, management and policy, and the rippling ecosystem effects wolves have had on Yellowstone’s wild and rare landscape. Featuring a foreword by Jane Goodall, beautiful images, a companion online documentary by celebrated filmmaker Bob Landis, and contributions from more than seventy wolf and wildlife conservation luminaries from Yellowstone and around the world, Yellowstone Wolves is an informative and beautifully realized celebration of the extraordinary Yellowstone Wolf Project.

Book excerpt: America's been bloodied but not beaten. An estimated twenty million people have died, but an exact count may never be known. The entire country is buried beneath poison ash and many still aren't accounted for. The survivors are hurting, but they must find ways to keep going. Good old American ingenuity goes into high gear. The farmers find new ways to grow crops on poisoned land. Truckers find new ways to get vital cargo to where it needs to be. In every city the residents find new ways to grow what they need and to help one another pull through. Meanwhile it seems everyone in America is moving. The evacuees are moving as far as they can from the smoking hole in the ground which was once Yellowstone National Park. The federal government is spending money it doesn't have... nothing new for them... only this time it's using the money to build new cities in isolated places in an effort to help with the largest resettlement project in the history of man.
Book Synopsis Everything Has Changed by : Allison Chandler
Download or read book Everything Has Changed written by Allison Chandler and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's several months after the eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano, and the world is a vastly different place. Six hundred thousand Americans were killed and millions more have been displaced, scattering to the far corners of the world. Many of them went to Alaska or southern California: two vastly different places with vastly different charms, but one very important thing in common. They're both very far away from the smoking hole in the ground which was once Yellowstone National Park. The whole world has changed. Much of it is still covered with poison ash; ash which will be around for at least a generation. Ash which will shorten the lives of everyone, and not just Americans. People halfway around the globe will be forced to breathe microscopic particles of the ash for many years to come. And everyone will ultimately pay a heavy price. Jenn and her "chitlins" settle in the Mojave Desert near Victorville, California. Gwen and Melvyn and Tony and Hannah choose Etlunka Lake east of Anchorage. And each of them will be terrified when they learn their nightmares aren't over. That a secondary eruption is in the making. This, the final chapter of the Yellowstone saga, focuses not on the dead but rather the survivors. And how they cope in a terribly damaged new world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is in turmoil. The Yellowstone Caldera is rumbling to life. An incompetent government is telling people not to panic; that there's plenty of time to evacuate the area and to deal with the problem. Dr. Wayne Hamlin knows the truth. The people who live within a few hundred miles of America's grandest national park don't have months or years, as government officials are telling them. They have a matter of days. The ground over the Caldera starts to swell as pressure within the magma pool builds. Earthquakes begin knocking down every structure within the park. New fissures open. Yellowstone has always had such fissures; they called them geysers, and visitors never suspected the catastrophe they hinted was on the way. Now the fissures are opening up as far away as a hundred miles from the park. Animals of all types feel the vibrations. They don't understand them, but they feel an instinctual need to get far away and begin a desperate migration. The super volcano beneath Yellowstone is in her initial stages of eruption. And the world will never be the same again.

Book excerpt: Most Americans are unaware of it, but there's a super volcano brewing beneath the surface of Yellowstone National Park. The "Yellowstone Caldera," as scientists call it, is a real thing. It's what gives tourists the geysers and hot springs which have made the park famous. Now here's the scary part... the volcano has erupted before, and will erupt again. No one knows when, but it WILL happen. And when it happens it will destroy a sizeable part of the United States, including cities such as Denver and Salt Lake City. Further, there is no other American city which won't be affected in some manner. Those which aren't destroyed outright or damaged by falling debris and ash will be inundated by refugees in numbers never before seen in recorded history. Although scientists all agree it'll happen, no one knows for sure how it'll play out, and whether the United States will survive the eruption. Here, in "The Yellowstone Event," is a fictionalized account of a real event which hasn't happened yet... but which could happen at any time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cat's finally out of the bag. A coming catastrophe the United States government has been trying desperately to keep secret is now known around the world. The super volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park has gone active. Scientists can't agree when the eruption will occur. Some say within days. Others say several years. Those in the danger zones aren't waiting. Great waves of people begin evacuating. Some have safe places to go, and move in with relatives along the eastern seaboard or in the southern states. Others, with no good place to run, start to panic. They're taken advantage of by unscrupulous bankers, insurers and moving companies. A grand scheme is hatched to develop the Alaskan wilderness. To move the "last frontier," in essence, from the great state of Alaska to the center of the lower forty-eight. It's not the only questionable idea. In light of a pending disaster which promises to destroy a third of the nation, anything and everything is open to discussion. Hannah and Tony are released. There's no longer any reason to hold them. But things can never get back to normal for the couple as long as their son is still missing. As long as they don't know whether he's alive or dead. They're at wit's end. And they get assistance from a most unexpected source.

So does the great boatlift as hundreds of thousands of terrified Americans find new homes overseas. No one, from sea to shining sea, is left untouched. And the worst is yet to come. For this is a disaster which will take millions of lives and decades to overcome.

Book Synopsis Yellowstone’s Wildlife in Transition by : P. J. White
Download or read book Yellowstone’s Wildlife in Transition written by P. J. White and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's first national park, Yellowstone is a symbol of nature's enduring majesty and the paradigm of protected areas across the globe. But Yellowstone is constantly changing. How we understand and respond to events that are putting species under stress, say the authors of Yellowstone's Wildlife in Transition, will determine the future of ecosystems that were millions of years in the making. With a foreword by the renowned naturalist E. O. Wilson, this is the most comprehensive survey of research on North America's flagship national park available today. Marshaling the expertise of over thirty contributors, Yellowstone's Wildlife in Transition examines the diverse changes to the park's ecology in recent decades. Since its creation in the 1870s, the priorities governing Yellowstone have evolved, from intensive management designed to protect and propagate depleted large-bodied mammals to an approach focused on restoration and preservation of ecological processes. Recognizing the importance of natural occurrences such as fires and predation, this more ecologically informed oversight has achieved notable successes, including the recovery of threatened native species of wolves, bald eagles, and grizzly bears. Nevertheless, these experts detect worrying signs of a system under strain. They identify three overriding stressors: invasive species, private-sector development of unprotected lands, and a warming climate. Their concluding recommendations will shape the twenty-first-century discussion over how to confront these challenges, not only in American parks but for conservation areas worldwide. Highly readable and fully illustrated, Yellowstone's Wildlife in Transition will be welcomed by ecologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
