Book Description
With a foreword by Edward O. Wilson, this book brings together internationally known experts from the scientific, societal, and conservation policy areas who address policy responses to the problem of biodiversity loss: how to determine conservation priorities in a scientific fashion, how to weigh the long-term, often hidden value of conservation against the more immediate value of land development, the need for education in areas of rapid population growth, and how lack of knowledge about biodiversity can impede conservation efforts. United in their belief that conservation of biological diversity is a primary concern of humankind, the contributing authors address the full scope of global biodiversity and its decline -- the threatened marine life and extinction of many mammals in the modern era in relation to global patterns of development, and the implications of biodiversity loss for human health, agricultural productivity, and the economy. The Living Planet in Crisis is the result of a conference of the American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation.

Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... india part I.--general I. The "Cont1nent" Of Ind1a.--In ordinary usage the word "continent" indicates one of the principal divisions of the globe, and in general, the idea of great extent is connected with the term. India certainly does not deserve the name in any such sense, since it is not much larger than Arabia, for instance, and is far smaller than the Chinese Empire. In the typical use of the word, however, it is a continent, since it is an extended body of land bounded by very marked barriers, and projecting like a wedge into the water hemisphere. Moreover, it contains within itself every fifth man, woman and child born into the world, and these multitudes live in every climate from the torrid to the frigid, and speak a babel of tongues. 1. Position and Area.--If this "Wonderland of the East," which extends into the Indian Ocean from Central Asia to a distance of 1,900 miles from north to south, were laid upon the map of America, its northernmost point would be in the latitude of Richmond, Va., while its southernmost cape would reach a little farther south than Panama. If the extreme eastern boundary were placed on Baltimore, the western limit would be near Salt Lake City. Within its boundaries could be placed twice over, the United States east of the Mississippi, if Ohio and Indiana were left out. Its area is thus almost equal to that of Europe less Russia. Geographers have compared its shape with that of an equilateral triangle; but there is a far stronger resemblance to the head and neck of a lion, facing westward and wearing a crown. Others writers have called it "The Rudder of Asia," not so much because of its dominating influence over the continent, as because of its peculiar position, shape and relation to the ocean. 2....
