| BREWER, RICHARD. Conservancy Dartmouth College Press / University Press of New England, Hanover: 2003. Softcover. Brand new book. Brewer...takes a panoramic view of land conservancy in the United States...[and] his book is also a how-to manual on establishing land trusts. Recommended for public and academic libraries supporting environmental policy or ecology programs.ÑLibrary Journal The first complete treatment of the U.S. land trust movement as a crucial feature of current efforts to protect the environment. Land trusts, or conservancies, protect land by owning it. Although many people are aware of a few large land trustsÑThe Nature Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land, for instanceÑthere are now close to 1,300 local trusts, with more coming into being each month. American land trusts are diverse, shaped by their missions and adapted to their local environments. Nonetheless, all land trusts are private, non-profit organizations for which the acquisition and protection of land by direct action is the primary or sole mission. Nonconfrontational and apolitical, land trusts work with willing land owners in voluntary transactions. Although land trusts are the fastest-growing and most vital part of the land conservation movement today, this model of saving land by private action has become dominant only in the past two decades. Brewer tells why the advocacy modelÑin which private groups try to protect land by promoting government purchase or regulationÑ in the 1980s was eclipsed by the burgeoning land trust movement. He gives the public a much-needed primer on what land trusts are, what they do, how they are related to one another and to other elements of the conservation and environmental movements, and their importance to conservation in the coming decades. As Brewer points out, unlike other land-saving measures, land trust accomplishments are permanent. At the end of a cooperative process between a landowner and the local land trust, the land is saved in perpetuity. Brewer's book, the first comprehensive treatment of land trusts, combines a historical overview of the movement with more specific information on the different kinds of land trusts that exist and the problems they face. The volume also offers a how-to approach for persons and institutions interested in donating, selling, or buying land, discusses four major national land trusts (The Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Land, American Farmland Trust, and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy); and gives a generous sampling of information about the activities and accomplishments of smaller, local trusts nationwide. Throughout, the book is enriched by historical narrative, analysis of successful land trusts, and information on the how and why of protecting land, as well as Brewer's intimate knowledge of ecological systems, biodiversity, and the interconnectedness of human and non-human life forms. Conservancy is a must-read volume for people interested in land conservationÑincluding land trust members, volunteers and supportersÑas well as anyone concerned about land use and the environment. A must-read for people interested in land conservation! Written for land trust members, volunteers and supporters Ñas well as anyone concerned about land use and the environment. This is the first comprehensive treatment of land trusts that combines a historical overview of the movement with more specific information on the different kinds of land trusts that exist and the problems they face.ÑThe Land Trust Alliance This book fills a void. It is the first to comprehensively trace the history, the people, the spirit, and the present state of the art in land trusts. It is a helpful guide for community planners, land trust board members, employees, donors, and persons interested in the conservation ethic of our time.ÑPlanning and Zoning Newsl The book is an important contribution to understanding a new and growing segment of the conservation movement. It is well written, and the author's style, one that should appeal to a broad audience, makes it an enjoyable read.ÑHuman Ecology Richard Brewer is Professor Emeritus, Department of Biological Sciences, Western Michigan University. He has served as the President of the Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy and the Kalamazoo Nature Center, and he has chaired the Michigan Technical Committee for the Endangered Species Program (Birds). His books include The Science of Ecology (1994) and The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Michigan (1991). ¶ 364 pages.

| ELDREDGE, NILES. The Miner's Canary: Unraveling The Mysteries Of Extinction. Princeton University Press, Princeton: 1994. Softcover. Very good condition. Like the bird whose death signaled dangerous conditions in a mine, the demise of animals that once flourished should give humans pause. How is our fate linked to the earth's creatures, and the cycle of flourishing and extinction? Which are the simple workings of nature's order, and which are omens of ecological disaster? Does human activity accelerate extinction? What really causes it? In an illuminating and elegantly written account of the widespread reduction of the world's wildlife, renowned paleontologist Niles Eldredge poses these questions and examines humankind's role in the larger life cycles of the earth, composing a provocative general theory of extinction. A powerfully impassioned plea for awareness--awareness of what we are doing, of what the consequences will be, and of what we can still do to reduce the biotic holocaust ahead. - BioScience It is clear that we are witnessing a mass extinction that is almost entirely the result of human activities. Eldredge is surely right that this is largely the consequence of habitat destruction rather than direct slaughter, but the consequences are nonetheless dire for our own species as well as others. - Nature ¶ 246 pages.
