Beschreibung

"National Park Secrets" unveils the unseen world within America's national parks, going beyond typical tourist trails to explore hidden wildlife, geology, and critical ecological processes. These parks, while seemingly timeless, are dynamic systems grappling with climate change and human impact. The book highlights the importance of proactive conservation, emphasizing that these natural spaces require active stewardship to ensure their preservation for future generations.

 
The book traces the history of the U.S. National Park system, starting with Yellowstone in 1872, and examines the scientific underpinnings of park ecosystems. It delves into lesser-known species and habitats, presenting information through narratives and scientific analysis. Did you know these parks face increasing pressure from habitat fragmentation? Or that unseen geological formations tell stories of the Earth’s past?

 
The book progresses through sections on wildlife encounters, untamed terrain, and conservation conundrums, culminating in practical ways readers can contribute to park conservation. By blending descriptive storytelling with scientific accuracy, "National Park Secrets" offers a fresh perspective on familiar landscapes, connecting ecology, geology, and environmental policy to provide a comprehensive understanding of park conservation.

    "This new and enlarged version of Readings in Russian Civilization is the result of fairly extensive revisions. There are now 72 instead of 64 items; 20 of the selections are new. The first volume has undergone the least change with 3 new items, of which 2 appear in English for the first time. In the second volume there are 6 new items; all of them appear in English for the first time. The third volume has undergone the greatest revision, with 11 new items, of which 6 are newly translated from the Russian. It is the editor's hope that items left out in the new edition will not be sorely missed, and that the new selections will turn out to be useful and illuminating. The aim, throughout, has been to cover areas of knowledge and periods which had been neglected in the first edition, and to include topics which are important in the study of the Russian past and present. "The bibliographical headnotes have been enlarged, with the result that there are now approximately twice as many entries as in the old edition. New citations include not only works which have appeared since 1963, but also older books and articles which have come to the editor's attention."—From the Editor's Preface ". . . a judicious combination of seminal works and more recent commentaries that achieves the editor's purpose of stimulating curiosity and developing a point of view."—C. Bickford O'Brien, The Russian Review "These three volumes cover quite well the main periods of Russian civilization. The choice of the articles and other material is made by a competent and unbiased scholar."—Ivan A. Lopatin, Professor of Asian and Slavic Studies, University of Southern California

    The Silver Invicta is a stream of impressions from a fishing life, in its varying moods, colored with plenty of whisky and eccentric company. Join Tom Harland on his light-hearted journeys with his fly rod; take part in his triumphs and disasters on rough, wild camping trips and share his encounters with the wildlife of Scotland’s rivers and lochs.  The ‘Silver Invicta’ was the traditional fly which was taken by Tom’s first salmon and is also a nod to the spirit of Scotland’s embattled migratory fish. Tom has fished throughout his local Scottish Borders, England, the Western Isles and New Zealand (a country he lived and worked in for two years), but his real passion is for the brown trout of the hill lochs of Assynt in the North-west Highlands.  Open this treasure trove of a book to share the pleasure the author finds through fishing respectfully in magical, wild, and seldom-visited places.
