Book Description
It doesn't take a genius to understand the one most important aspect of surviving. It's having access to drinkable water! Without water a person can't live more than three days. The second most important thing is food! Men have been known to live more than a month without food. But there's absolutely no need for any person to be deprived of something to eat. Nature is and always has been a good and reliable provider. Everyone should know how to properly use her. Learn to live off the land. It really isn't that difficult. This one-of-a-kind edible plant survival handbook tells you all you need to know.Edible fruit is plentiful in nature and it supplies great food in a survival situation. You're no doubt already aware of many of the wild fruits and berries in the United States. However, to refresh your memory, all the following are readily available, easy to find and are meticulously covered in this chapter. Blackberry Grapes Blueberry Mulberry Crabapple Persimmon Elderberry Rhubarb Serviceberry Strawberry Various authorities estimate there are approximately 300,000 plants (those that have been classified) on the surface of the earth. Of these, 120,000 varieties have been determined to be edible. A person should know what edible plants to look for when in the wilderness. He or she should also be able to properly identify these plants and to properly prepare them for eating. Such an individual will undoubtedly find enough plant food out there to keep alive over an extended period of time. And he or she may even surprise themselves with a delicious meal.Ferns are abundant in moist areas of all climates. They are especially easy to find. Look in gullies, on stream banks, in forested areas, along the sides of hiking trails and on the edge of woods. Ferns, by and large, are a safe plant to cook and eat. Some are distastefully bitter and certainly not palatable. Yet, no fern is known to be poisonous. The inner bark of some trees — the layer next to the wood -- can be eaten raw or cooked. Avoid the outer bark. It contains large amounts of tannin and is extremely bitter.Flour can be made by pulverizing the inner bark of a number of trees – aspen, birch, cottonwood, pine, slippery elm and willow.One outstanding example of a tree food source is the pine.The inner bark is high in vitamin C. The nuts, needles, twigs and sap are all edible. The nuts (eaten raw or roasted) grow in woody cones hanging near the tips of the branches. When mature, they fall out of the ripe cone.

Wildlife Issues in a Changing World
Author: Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781439832622
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
Students of conservation encounter some of the most complex issues on our planet. The resolution of existing problems become more complex when humans create further stresses on the natural balance. Moulton and Sanderson brought the challenging issues in wildlife conservation into greater clarity in Wildlife Issues in a Changing World. The Second Edition of this definitive reference focuses more closely on the causes of wildlife issues. The examination of Jared Diamond's "Evil Quartet" (the four principal causes of extinction) provides a framework for categorizing and resolving these issues. The authors encourage the use of the scientific method basis for resolution - especially where environmental laws have failed. The three new chapters provide further counterpoints to preconceived notions. A two-part history of wildlife in the U.S. shows how wildlife had already been decimated by the year 1900. "Can Humans Manage Wildlife?" questions efforts to revive endangered species, acts which may inadvertently jeopardize the survival of other life. Viewing the natural order from prehistoric times to the present, Wildlife Issues in a Changing World, Second Edition gives students and instructors an all-encompassing introduction to past relations between humans and nature; explorations of current threats to species and their habitats; and recent "novel solutions," where humanity and industry have made adjustments to protect the natural order. Professionals will also find invaluable reminders of the importance of their work - the continuation and endurance of wildlife everywhere on Earth.
