AMORY, CLEVELAND

Man Kind? Our Incredible War on Wildlife

Harper & Row, NY, 1974, 1st Ed. Hardbound. Man Kind? Our Incredible War on Wildlife by Cleveland Amory. Published by Harper & Row, NY, 1974. 1st Edition. Hardbound w/Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). 372 Pgs. Condition: Nr Fine in Chipped DJ. ISBN 0060100923. LCCN 76-181605. A book written after indefatigable research and with rare humor, which varies from light satire to how, searing irony, the author describes man playing God for his own self-serving purposes, for, as the three parts of the book indicated, fun, money, and revenge. The book begins with the saga of the Hunt-the-Hunters Hunt Club - and ends with a truly touching look at what is obviously the author's favorite of all the creatures of the wild. Names are named here and intimate stories told, from those the author calls ''Big Shot'' Teddy Roosevelt to ''whaler-dealer'' Aristotle Onassis. Animal societies too are named, and their stories told, including the societies whose idea of ''conservation'' is to sell more guns and ammunitions. You will be fascinated by this book; at the same time, when you put it down, you will be angry. And you will never feel the same again about an animal head on the wall, a fur coat on you back, or the howl of coyote down the canyon. Description text copyright 2006 BooksForComfort. Item ID 11121.

Every year countless millions of animals leave the areas in which they have lived for many month and embark on hazardous journeys to new regions, returning to their original homes the following spring. This is the classical image of migration. But the tem can equally be applied to the displacement of the spores and seeds of plants and to the dispersal, emigration, nomadic movement and explorations or animals, including man. This book explains why and how life migrates and also introduces new theories of migration. Description text copyright 2010 BooksForComfort. Item ID 22116. ISBN: 0670502863. Nr Fine in Good DJ.

He describes the work and world of the keeper, the vet, the researcher, the curator, and many more. His astonishing animal lore ranges from aardvark to zebra, as he tells how zoo vets operate on the broken leg of an eight-foot Komodo dragon and stitch the long tongue of Krinkles the aardvark. The author tracks the routes of animal dealers and their shipments; explains how animals adjust to captivity, and shows that in its crucial ecological role, the zoo has become a wildlife sanctuary where man is no longer predator, but partner in the race to survive.
