Book Description
This is a guide to rails, a relatively homogeneous family of birds spread throughout the world. Barry Taylor and Ber van Perlo have described and illustrated 145 species of rails, including two that are newly described, and also ten that are recently extinct and two that are almost certainly extinct. The book, based on up-to-date references and on new observations, is the first to give comprehensive information on field identification (including voice), covering all species and races for which details are known. It is also the first to provide descriptions of the immature and juvenile plumages of many species. The authors provide a detailed summary of current knowledge of all aspects of rail biology and their often complex behaviour, social structure, and family life. They explain how such apparently poorly flying birds can undertake intercontinental migrations and are such widespread and successful colonists of remote oceanic islands. They also discuss the remarkable ease and speed with which species on such islands have evolved into flightless forms in the absence of predators, a fact that has led to the rapid extinction of numerous island taxa following the arrival of man. Rail habitats are fast disappearing, say the authors, and many rails become endangered before enough is known about them to plan effective conservation measures. The book provides information on distribution, status, habitat requirements, and current threats, and it gives conservation priorities for threatened species.

Book Description
This extensive history of the Erie Railroad's Greenwood Lake Division covers everything from the railroad's construction as the Montclair Railway in the 1870s through its subsequent reorganizations as the Montclair & Greenwood Lake Railway and later the New York & Greenwood Lake Railway. The line's eventual acquisition by the Erie gives way to the Erie Lackawanna merger, Conrail, and the line's current use by NJ Transit. With over 100 pages of text supplemented by a plethora of historic black & white and color photos and reproduced documents, this is the definitive story of rail service along a scenic New Jersey route.
