Extinct Birds - Exploring the Lost World of Avian Extinction

Lionel Walter Baron Rothschild

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Extinct Birds," Lionel Walter Rothschild, Baron Rothschild, presents a meticulous exploration of avian species that have vanished from the Earth. Through a combination of detailed illustrations, ornithological observation, and eloquent prose, Rothschild captures not only the biological significance of these species but also their place within the larger narrative of ecological change and human influence. Written during the late Victorian era, the book reflects a burgeoning interest in natural history and conservation, exhibiting a literary style that is both scientific and poetic, thus providing readers with a rich context of extinction'Äôs cultural implications. Baron Rothschild was an avid naturalist and philanthropist whose passion for ornithology underscored his life'Äôs work, propelling him to amass one of the largest collections of bird specimens in the world. His aristocratic background and the financial means allowed him to travel extensively, contributing to a profound understanding of avifauna, which undeniably informs his compelling narrative and scholarly approach in this publication. Rothschild's unique perspective is shaped by his dedication to environmental awareness amidst an epoch of rapid industrial change. "Extinct Birds" is a vital contribution to both ornithological literature and the discourse on conservation. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the interplay of history, ecology, and the fragility of life that characterizes our planet. Rothschild'Äôs passion and scholarship provide a haunting reminder of what has been lost and what we stand to lose if we do not heed the lessons of the past.

Nature & Culture - A change...

Eco-Philosophy The Council for

Dalai Lama (2000) believes that seeking happiness "lies in our nature": The desire or need to be happy knows no bounds. It is something that lies in our nature. As such, it needs no grounds and it is justified by the simple fact that it is something we rightly want out of our nature. One has also asked if happiness is as important in all cultures. The answer is that happiness is at the top of the wish-list in every country; It is more important than wealth and to come to heaven, and as important as love (Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2008)...what makes us richer has been costly. The wealth, or what has been the prerequisite for wealth, has reduced a quieter life, close and stable relationships, we are moving apart. A materialistic lifestyle has a negative connection with happiness (Hellevik, 2003). NEF (2016) has calculated values on Happy Planet Index for 140 countries. Highest ranks Costa Rica and a number of other countries in Latin America. The population of Costa Rica has high values for happiness and longevity, and they have low values of ecological footprints. Norway has very high values of happiness and longevity, but also of footprints. In total, Norway is ranked twelfth and therefore highest among European countries, but closely followed by Albania. The United Kingdom is at thirty-fourth place, Canada number eighty-five and the United States number 108.

Shawn Blake

53% of CPHQ candidates fail the exam. Here’s what successful test-takers do differently.

That’s where this book can help. 
  
Inside, you’ll discover: 
  
●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam 
●     What to do if you don’t end up passing the CPHQ on your first try — and exactly how long this can end up delaying your certification 
●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
  
And much more! 
  
With the 2 full-length practice tests included, you’ll get to simulate the actual testing experience and spot opportunities to improve your score.
