Large Carnivores and the Conservation of Biodiversity
Author: Justina Ray
Publisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1597266094
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
Large Carnivores and the Conservation of Biodiversity brings together more than thirty leading scientists and conservation practitioners to consider a key question in environmental conservation: Is the conservation of large carnivores in ecosystems that evolved with their presence equivalent to the conservation of biological diversity within those systems? Building their discussions from empirical, long-term data sets, contributors including James A. Estes, David S. Maehr, Tim McClanahan, Andrès J. Novaro, John Terborgh, and Rosie Woodroffe explore a variety of issues surrounding the link between predation and biodiversity: What is the evidence for or against the link? Is it stronger in marine systems? What are the implications for conservation strategies? Large Carnivores and the Conservation of Biodiversity is the first detailed, broad-scale examination of the empirical evidence regarding the role of large carnivores in biodiversity conservation in both marine and terrestrial ecosystems. It contributes to a much more precise and global understanding of when, where, and whether protecting and restoring top predators will directly contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. Everyone concerned with ecology, biodiversity, or large carnivores will find this volume a unique and thought-provoking analysis and synthesis.

The Omnivore's Dilemma

Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
"Outstanding . . . a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our eating habits." —The New Yorker One of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year and Winner of the James Beard Award Author of This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind and the #1 New York Times Bestseller In Defense of Food and Food Rules What should we have for dinner? Ten years ago, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and, with The Omnivore’s Dilemma, his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since, Pollan’s revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America, Pollan launched a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the natural world. Ten years later, The Omnivore’s Dilemma continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating.

The Hypercarnivore Diet
Author: Don Matesz
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781985619883
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
The Hypercarnivore Diet challenges the common belief and claims by authorities that meat makes us sick and a plant-based diet is best for health. Backed by hundreds of references to basic science textbooks and studies of human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and nutrition, it thoroughly debunks the claim that we are just slightly modified chimpanzees, omnivores or plantivores designed to eat a whole foods predominantly plant-based diet, and demonstrates that we are by Nature carnivores that probably need to obtain at least 70% of our nutrition from animal meat and fat to realize our genetic potential for health and fitness. It shows that many commonly consumed plant foods are more or less dangerous and best avoided or consumed in limited amounts if at all.
