Sinopse

Endangered Species Act explores the complexities of protecting vulnerable species in the U.S. through the lens of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). It examines how the ESA, a cornerstone of species conservation, navigates the tensions between environmental protection and economic development. Did you know that the ESA not only focuses on individual species but also emphasizes the importance of designating and protecting critical habitats essential for their survival? The book delves into the political pressures and funding limitations that continually challenge the ESA's effectiveness, highlighting the need for a holistic approach integrating science, economics, and community involvement.

 
The book traces the evolution of conservation efforts leading up to the ESA's passage in 1973, providing essential context for understanding its purpose and scope. It progresses systematically, first defining species endangerment and the ESA's core principles. Then, it looks at the procedures for listing species, the designation of critical habitats, and the enforcement mechanisms, including penalties for violations. Case studies and unique datasets, such as species recovery rates, offer empirical evidence of the ESA's impact.

 
The book concludes by discussing potential reforms and alternative approaches to enhance the law's effectiveness, offering insights for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in environmental politics and conservation efforts.

HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees &...

HowExpert, Emily Helton

HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees & Beekeeping is a great starter guide for those who are simply interested in honey bees or those who are interested in becoming beekeepers themselves. It describes the science of the honey bee itself, as well as the inner workings of each member and how they work together to survive.
The colony, as a whole, can be treated as its own organism because of how the honey bees work together to perform tasks as a social species. Beekeepers have been observing such behaviors for generations, and I would like to pass on the knowledge to others. The beekeeping portion of this guide provides a wealth of knowledge on how to start your own apiary.
Learn about all the equipment necessary for your operation, how to inspect your hives, what a beekeeper does throughout the year, a short guide to pests and diseases, bee-friendly plants, and how to extract honey and wax from your hives. All of this information can be found in this book. Just a warning, this hobby can cause one to become very passionate about one very small and fuzzy insect. It is not uncommon for a beekeeper to want to be constantly learning about honey bees.
About the Author
