Book Description
"It takes a lot of balls to play golf like I do."--Pibber PayneSports like football, basketball, hockey and women's beach volleyball are intended to be watched, not actually played. Other sports are almost painful to watch, but participation is worth the price of admission EVERY time. Bimisi and Sumguyen have a long-standing policy of not participating in any sport unless it is acceptable, even expected that they will be drinking the entire duration. Sports on their short list include bowling, fishing, billiards and tubing down the Salt River under the Arizona summer sun.While the aforementioned do involve excessive amounts of skill, dedication and beer; there is only one sport that includes a motorized cart, all the booze you can handle and the iconic ball washing machine. This is the logic they applied when the decision was made to take Brenda and her beaver out for a lovely round of golf. Enjoy.

The Beaver Manifesto
Author: Glynnis Hood
Publisher: Rocky Mountain Books Ltd
ISBN: 1926855582
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Beavers are the great comeback story--a keystone species that survived ice ages, major droughts, the fur trade, urbanization and near extinction. Their ability to create and maintain aquatic habitats has endeared them to conservationists, but puts the beavers at odds with urban and industrial expansion. These conflicts reflect a dichotomy within our national identity. We place environment and our concept of wilderness as a key touchstone for promotion and celebration, while devoting significant financial and personal resources to combating "the beaver problem." We need to rethink our approach to environmental conflict in general, and our approach to species-specific conflicts in particular. Our history often celebrates our integration of environment into our identity, but our actions often reveal an exploitation of environment and celebration of its subjugation. Why the conflict with the beaver? It is one of the few species that refuses to play by our rules and continues to modify environments to meet its own needs and the betterment of so many other species, while at the same time showing humans that complete dominion over nature is not necessarily achievable.

Bringing Back the Beaver
Author: Derek Gow
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing

Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
"A bold new voice in nature writing, from the front lines of Britain's rewilding movement Bringing Back the Beaver is farmer-turned-ecologist Derek Gow's inspirational and often riotously funny firsthand account of how the movement to rewild the British landscape with beavers has become the single most dramatic and subversive nature conservation act of the modern era. Since the early 1990s - in the face of outright opposition from government, landowning elites and even some conservation professionals - Gow has imported, quarantined and assisted the reestablishment of beavers in waterways across England and Scotland. In addition to detailing the ups and downs of rewilding beavers, Bringing Back the Beaver makes a passionate case as to why the return of one of nature's great problem solvers will be critical as part of a sustainable fix for flooding and future drought, whilst ensuring the creation of essential lifescapes that enable the broadest possible spectrum of Britain's wildlife to thrive"--
