' skilled biography of Sigurd Olson ... explores in depth both the publisc activities of Olson's productive conservation and preservation career, and his life ... Thanks to years of careful research by David Backes , we have a colorful portrayal of Sigurd F. Olson , backcountry woodsman and guide ... wilderness advocate ... administrator ... teacher, author, and environmental icon ... ' Sigurd Olson, winner of the John Burroughs Medal, the highest award for nature writing, enjoyed continued success as an author after the publication in 1956 of his first book of nature essays, The Singing Wilderness. But his dream of recognition was realized only after years of frustration and an agonizing search for meaning. In this first and only biography of the icon of the 1960s and 1970s conservation movement, Backes ( Canoe Country, Northwood ) provides a surprising portrait of a man whose early conventional life, first as a teacher and dean of Ely Junior College, followed much later by a highly successful public life, belied his inner struggles. The abundance of anecdotes and quotes gleaned from Olson's letters and journals, as well as family interviews, make this a fascinating and highly readable book ' ... ' This well-balanced assessment of Sigurd Olson ( 1899-1982 ) pays as much attention to his spiritual quest as to his activism in defense of America's natural resources with such groups as The Wilderness Society and the National Parks Association. Olson found a sense of completeness while hiking, canoeing, and hunting in the northern Midwest. He conveys these feelings in influential books such as The Singing Wilderness, which inspired a generation of younger nature writers. David Backes, who knew Olson and his wife, captures the personality of Olson, and evaluates his achievements ' ... " A Wilderness Within - The Life of Sigurd F.

	LEVER, CHRISTOPHER / MARTIN CAMM Naturalized Fishes of the World - By Christopher Lever, Illustrated By Martin Camm San Diego: Academic Press, 1996. 1997 Later Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket.

Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... This is a handsome book ... steel blue textured boards with Gold gilt lettering and decoration impressed onto spine , in illustrated jacket ... 408 pages with index, references & appendices ... illustrated with B&W drawings by Martin Camm ... All over the world, fish are both an important part of a region's biological diversity, and a valuable human resource - either for food or as a sporting or amenity asset ... The human interest in fish has inevitably led to the widespread practice of introducing various species to waters outside their normal range ... This book describes where, when, how, and by whom the alien inland fishes now living in a wild state throughout the world were introduced, how they subsequently became naturalized and what, if any, effects they have had in their new environment ... The preface and introduction discuss the general history of fish introductions and the reasons for them, and the impact such introductions can have on local ecosystems and human populations ... Aquaculture for food is perhaps the earliest driving force, but introduction for ornamental purposes, to improve wild fisheries resources, create sport fisheries, and latterly as a means of biological control, add to the list ... The species accounts which follow, describe the history of each species' introduction, and the impact, if any, of the newcomers, or their associated parasites ... on the indigenous fish fauna and local economies of the peoples living nearby ... Of course, this is a story of mixed blessings ... In many cases introduded populations have been of enormous benefit through their provision of vitally needed food sources .... In others, the alien species have been rejected as unfit to eat or have a disasterous effect on valuable native fish populations ... As a means of biological control some have created ecological problems at least as large as those which they were introduced to solve ... In every case there are lessons to learn about wise management of aquatic habitats ... and this book will be of interest not only to fisheries students but to ecologists and managers of all kinds ...

Gift Giving quality ... 347 pages ... illustrated with B&W tables, charts & graphs ... Pollutants act either directly on individual organisms or indirectly by modifying the non-living ( abiotic ) environment ... In order to properly understand these processes, a basic grounding in ecosystem ecology is needed, but not from a toxicological perspective ... This approach is the expressed philosophy of this text and this new edition fully revises and expands the coverage of this subject ... Following a brief introduction to the principal characteristics of both pollutants and ecosystems, the various ecosystem components are considered in more detail ... Populations, communities and gene pools are examined with an emphasis on the ways in which pollutants affect them specifically ... The indirect effects of pollution are considered separately in a new chapter with particular attention paid to the mechanisms and biological effects of global warming ... A discussion of the methods used to predict and to monitor the effects of pollutants, some illustrative examples of pollution problems and a final summary discussion, complete the book ... Certain key themes and cautions run throughout the entire text ... Assessing toxicological impact is a far from simple process ... Measures of acute toxicty, though important for individual organisms, have limited relevance to actual ecological impacts, since sublethal effects can be just as, or more, damaging to populations ... Screening and predictive tests based on acute toxicity are therefore biased against detecting ecological effects ... Further, the monitoring and control of pollution damage also involves value judgements: What are the environmentalists trying to achieve and protect? ... The complexity of ecosystems and communities requires equally complex analysis, rather than the often simplistic application of absolute rules derived from laboratory toxicity tests ... As technology and the impact of human activity on the environment develops and changes, the questions posed multiply and become even mpre complex ... This book has been an invaluable primer for studfents in ecology, biochemistry, environmental studies, pollution science and industry ...

	LEVER, CHRISTOPHER / MARTIN CAMM Naturalized Fishes of the World - By Christopher Lever, Illustrated By Martin Camm San Diego: Academic Press, 1996. 1997 Later Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket.

This is a handsome book ... steel blue textured boards with Gold gilt lettering and decoration impressed onto spine , in illustrated jacket ... 408 pages with index, references & appendices ... illustrated with B&W drawings by Martin Camm ... All over the world, fish are both an important part of a region's biological diversity, and a valuable human resource - either for food or as a sporting or amenity asset ... The human interest in fish has inevitably led to the widespread practice of introducing various species to waters outside their normal range ... This book describes where, when, how, and by whom the alien inland fishes now living in a wild state throughout the world were introduced, how they subsequently became naturalized and what, if any, effects they have had in their new environment ... The preface and introduction discuss the general history of fish introductions and the reasons for them, and the impact such introductions can have on local ecosystems and human populations ... Aquaculture for food is perhaps the earliest driving force, but introduction for ornamental purposes, to improve wild fisheries resources, create sport fisheries, and latterly as a means of biological control, add to the list ... The species accounts which follow, describe the history of each species' introduction, and the impact, if any, of the newcomers, or their associated parasites ... on the indigenous fish fauna and local economies of the peoples living nearby ... Of course, this is a story of mixed blessings ... In many cases introduded populations have been of enormous benefit through their provision of vitally needed food sources .... In others, the alien species have been rejected as unfit to eat or have a disasterous effect on valuable native fish populations ... As a means of biological control some have created ecological problems at least as large as those which they were introduced to solve ... In every case there are lessons to learn about wise management of aquatic habitats ... and this book will be of interest not only to fisheries students but to ecologists and managers of all kinds ...

Gift Giving quality ... 347 pages ... illustrated with B&W tables, charts & graphs ... Pollutants act either directly on individual organisms or indirectly by modifying the non-living ( abiotic ) environment ... In order to properly understand these processes, a basic grounding in ecosystem ecology is needed, but not from a toxicological perspective ... This approach is the expressed philosophy of this text and this new edition fully revises and expands the coverage of this subject ... Following a brief introduction to the principal characteristics of both pollutants and ecosystems, the various ecosystem components are considered in more detail ... Populations, communities and gene pools are examined with an emphasis on the ways in which pollutants affect them specifically ... The indirect effects of pollution are considered separately in a new chapter with particular attention paid to the mechanisms and biological effects of global warming ... A discussion of the methods used to predict and to monitor the effects of pollutants, some illustrative examples of pollution problems and a final summary discussion, complete the book ... Certain key themes and cautions run throughout the entire text ... Assessing toxicological impact is a far from simple process ... Measures of acute toxicty, though important for individual organisms, have limited relevance to actual ecological impacts, since sublethal effects can be just as, or more, damaging to populations ... Screening and predictive tests based on acute toxicity are therefore biased against detecting ecological effects ... Further, the monitoring and control of pollution damage also involves value judgements: What are the environmentalists trying to achieve and protect? ... The complexity of ecosystems and communities requires equally complex analysis, rather than the often simplistic application of absolute rules derived from laboratory toxicity tests ... As technology and the impact of human activity on the environment develops and changes, the questions posed multiply and become even mpre complex ... This book has been an invaluable primer for studfents in ecology, biochemistry, environmental studies, pollution science and industry ...
