Download or read book Wild New Zealand written by Les Molloy and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1994 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: photographs by Gerald Cubitt Once part of an ancient supercontinent, New Zealand was isolated by the sea to form its present-day raft of islands stretching from the sub-tropical to the sub-Antarctic. This superbly illustrated book offers a tour of this diverse, wild "land of the long white cloud," capturing in text and over 400 full-color photographs New Zealand's untamed areas and the wildlife that inhabits them. The journey begins in the rugged northern peninsula, with its rocky coastline and impressive stands of kauri forests, continues through the length and breadth of North and South Islands, and then leaves the mainland for the islands beyond. Much of New Zealand's beauty is preserved in an extensive system of national parks, within which the natural diversity is almost endless. High peaks and meadows of alpine flowers give way to dense rainforest. Geysers and hot springs bubble and fume in the thermal regions. Long sleek beaches and quiet bays offer peace and seclusion. In this land are found creatures that exist nowhere else on earth: the shy kiwi that makes its home in the dense beech forests; the many rare birds that have a last refuge in the offshore islands; and the tuatara - a reptile that has existed since the age of dinosaurs and now clings precariously to survival. Wild New Zealand also offers a view of the country's ancient origins, its cultural heritage, and the conservation efforts that seek to preserve the awesome beauty of this wondrous land. Gerald Cubitt is one of the world's leading natural history photographers. and is particularly well known for his sensitive portrayals of the wildlife and wilderness areas of Africa and South-east Asia. Specially commissioned to provide the photographs for Wild New Zealand, he and his wife, Janet, travelled extensively through the islands, seeking to capture the astonishing variety of landscapes and the unique fauna and flora to be found there. He is deeply committed to providing an evocative record of the natural world that will encourage awareness of our environment's increasing fragility.

Download or read book Wild Life written by Irus Braverman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Life documents a nuanced understanding of the wild versus captive divide in species conservation. It also documents the emerging understanding that all forms of wild nature—both in situ (on-site) and ex situ (in captivity)—may need to be managed in perpetuity. Providing a unique window into the high-stakes world of nature conservation, Irus Braverman describes the heroic efforts by conservationists to save wild life. Yet in the shadows of such dedication and persistence in saving the life of species, Wild Life also finds sacrifice and death. Such life and death stories outline the modern struggle to define what conservation should look like at a time when the long-established definitions of nature have collapsed. Wild Life begins with the plight of a tiny endangered snail, and ends with the rehabilitation of an entire island. Interwoven between its pages are stories about golden lion tamarins in Brazil, black-footed ferrets in the American Plains, Sumatran rhinos in Indonesia, Tasmanian devils in Australia, and many more creatures both human and nonhuman. Braverman draws on interviews with more than one hundred and twenty conservation biologists, zoologists, zoo professionals, government officials, and wildlife managers to explore the various perspectives on in situ and ex situ conservation and the blurring of the lines between them.

Download or read book Climate Change and Global Health written by Colin D. Butler and published by CABI. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing understanding that climate change will have profound, mostly harmful effects on human health. In this authoritative book, international experts examine long-recognized areas of health concern for populations vulnerable to climate change, describing effects that are both direct, such as heat waves, and indirect, such as via vector-borne diseases. This lively yet scholarly resource explores all these issues, finishing with a practical discussion of avenues to reform. As Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, states in the foreword: 'Climate change interacts with many undesirable aspects of human behaviour, including inequality, racism and other manifestations of injustice. Climate change policies, as practised by most countries in the global North, not only interact with these long-standing forms of injustice, but exemplify a new form, of startling magnitude.' This book will be invaluable for students, post-graduates, researchers and policy-makers in public health, climate change and medicine.

Download or read book Facing the Wild written by Chilla Bulbeck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do wild animals mean to humans? Will they survive both rampant habitat loss and extinction caused by human encroachment and, as ecotourists, our enthusiasm for them? With ecotourism now the fastest growing segment of tourism, and encounters with wild animals - be it swimming with dolphins, going on safari or bird watching - ever more popular, these are critical questions. Yet until now little has been known about why people crave encounters with wild animals and the meaning for the ecotourism industry, conservation efforts and society at large. Facing the Wild is the first serious empirical examination of why people seek out animals in their natural environment, what the desire for this experience tells us about the meanings of animals, nature, authenticity and wilderness in contemporary industrialized societies, and whether visitors change their environmental perspectives and behaviour, as the custodians of wildlife parks would like them to. The book explores the contradictions and ambivalence that so many people experience in the presence of 'wild nature' - in loving it we may diminish it and in the act of wanting to see it we may destroy it. Ultimately the book makes a case for 'respectful stewardship' of a 'hybrid nature' and provides insight for both practitioners and ecotourists alike.

Download or read book The Handbook of New Zealand Mammals written by Carolyn King and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of New Zealand Mammals is the only definitive reference on all the land-breeding mammals recorded in the New Zealand region (including the New Zealand sector of Antarctica). It lists 65 species, including native and exotic, wild and feral, living and extinct, residents, vagrants and failed introductions. It describes their history, biology and ecology, and brings together comprehensive and detailed information gathered from widely scattered or previously unpublished sources. The description of each species is arranged under standardised headings for easy reference. Because the only native land-breeding mammals in New Zealand are bats and seals, the great majority of the modern mammal fauna comprises introduced species, whose arrival has had profound effects both for themselves and for the native fauna and flora. The book details changes in numbers and distribution for the native species, and for the arrivals it summarises changes in habitat, diet, numbers and size in comparison with their ancestral stocks, and some of the problems they present to resource managers. For this third edition, the text and references have been completely updated and reorganised into Family chapters. The colour section includes 14 pages of artwork showing all the species described and their main variations, plus two pages of maps.

Download or read book Princes of the Church written by David Rollason and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Princes of the Church brings together the latest research exploring the importance of bishops’ palaces for social and political history, landscape history, architectural history and archaeology. It is the first book-length study of such sites since Michael Thompson’s Medieval Bishops’ Houses (1998), and the first work ever to adopt such a wide-ranging approach to them in terms of themes and geographical and chronological range. Including contributions from the late Antique period through to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it deals with bishops’ residences in England, Scotland, Wales, the Byzantine Empire, France, and Italy. It is structured in three sections: design and function, which considers how bishops’ palaces and houses differed from the palaces and houses of secular magnates, in their layout, design, furnishings, and functions; landscape and urban context, which considers the relationship between bishops’ palaces and houses and their political and cultural context, the landscapes and towns or cities in which they were set, and the parks, forests, and towns that were planned and designed around them; and architectural form, which considers the extent of shared features between bishops’ palaces and houses, and their relationship to the houses of other Church potentates and to the houses of secular magnates.
