Book Description
Although mountain goats are native to the Cascade range, they do not appear to have been present in Washington states's Olympic Mountains during historic times. Wildlife managers introduced goats in small numbers in what soon became Olympic National Park in 1925 and sporadically thereafter for the next twenty years. According to a 1981 statement by the National Park Service, the mountain goats in Olympic National Park "appear to be significantly altering the alpine ecosystem the park was designed to protect and preserve. As a result, park managers have argued that the goats must be eradicated". An eradication program has been in place for several years now. White Goats, White Lies does not argue for or against eradication of "exotics" in Olympic and other national parks. Rather it examines the science used to justify the current park position and questions the extent to which science is an afterthought in national park decisions.

Book Description
"Behind the clerical dog collar he wore as Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, John Collins ran a single-minded, constantly creative, campaign over several decades to provide material support to those waging the struggle against apartheid - assisting leaders like Nelson Mandela and thousands of township and rural activists, as well as families who suffered because their loved ones were in prison, in exile or dead. The success of the organisations he founded, the International Defence and Aid Fund (IDAF) and Christian Action, depended on a network of volunteers across the world and a small group of South African exiles and British workers in London. South African intelligence agents tried to penetrate these networks but to no avail."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
This volume is a comprehensive, critical introduction to vertebrate zooarchaeology, the field that explores the history of human relations with animals from the Pliocene to the Industrial Revolution. The book is organized into five sections, each with an introduction, that leads the reader systematically through this swiftly expanding field. Section One presents a general introduction to zooarchaeology, key definitions, and an historical survey of the emergence of zooarchaeology in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and introduces the conceptual approach taken in the book. This volume is designed to allow readers to integrate data from the book along with that acquired elsewhere within a coherent analytical framework. Most of its chapters take the form of critical “review articles,” providing a portal into both the classic and current literature and contextualizing these with original commentary. Summaries of findings are enhanced by profuse illustrations by the author and others.

Book Description
Written by the president of the nation’s number-one zoo, Sailing with Noah is an intensely personal, behind-the-scenes look at modern zoos. Jeffrey P. Bonner, who was trained as an anthropologist and came to the zoo world quite by accident, shares some of the most compelling stories ever told about contemporary zoos. The stories jump between zoos in different cities and between countries on different continents. Some are fun and funny. Others are sad, even tragic. Pete Hoskins, the director of the Philadelphia Zoo, is in bed, sound asleep, when his phone rings. . . . “There’s been a fire in the World of Primates,” he is told. “You’ve got to get over here.” Whatever he has been dreaming, it is nothing like the nightmare he will find now that he is awake. . . . “They’re all gone. They’re all gone.” All of the animals in the building—the gorillas, the lemurs, the orangutans, and the gibbons—all twenty-three of them are dead. Written in a lively, accessible style, Sailing with Noah explores the role of zoos in today’s society and their future as institutions of education, conservation, and research. Along the way, Bonner relates a variety of true stories about animals and those who care for them (or abuse them), offering his perspective on heavily publicized incidents and describing less-well-known events with compassion and humor in turn. By bringing the stories of the animals’ lives before us, Bonner gives them a voice. He strongly believes that zoos must act for living things, and he argues that conservation is a shared responsibility of all mankind. This book helps us to understand why biodiversity is important and what it means to be a steward of life on earth. From the day-to-day aspects of caring for some of the world’s most exotic creatures to the role of zoos as field conservation organizations, saving wild things in wild places, this book takes the reader on an incredible journey—a journey that begins within the zoo and continues around the globe. Everyone—from zoo visitors to animal lovers to professional conservationists, the young and old alike—will be fascinated by this extraordinary book.

Book Description
By studying the many ways diverse peoples have changed, shaped, and conserved the natural world over time, environmental historians provide insight into humanity's unique relationship with nature and, more importantly, are better able to understand the origins of our current environmental crisis. Beginning with the precolonial land-use practice of Native Americans and concluding with our twenty-first century concerns over our global ecological crisis, American Environmental History addresses contentious issues such as the preservation of the wilderness, the expulsion of native peoples from national parks, and population growth, and considers the formative forces of gender, race, and class. Entries address a range of topics, from the impact of rice cultivation, slavery, and the growth of the automobile suburb to the effects of the Russian sea otter trade, Columbia River salmon fisheries, the environmental justice movement, and globalization. This illustrated reference is an essential companion for students interested in the ongoing transformation of the American landscape and the conflicts over its resources and conservation. It makes rich use of the tools and resources (climatic and geological data, court records, archaeological digs, and the writings of naturalists) that environmental historians rely on to conduct their research. The volume also includes a compendium of significant people, concepts, events, agencies, and legislation, and an extensive bibliography of critical films, books, and Web sites.

Book Description
PLEASE READ THIS BOOK TO SAVE THE HUMAN RACE. PASS IT ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. WE, THE PEOPLE, DO NOT HAVE TO LET THE HUMAN RACE BE DESTROYED. I WROTE THIS BOOK TO PREVENT ANY MORE: SHUTDOWNS, SHOOTING RAMPAGES OR VIRUSES. WE HAVE A CHANCE TO SAVE THE HUMAN RACE BEFORE THEY CAUSE ARMAGEDDON. PLEASE HURRY AND TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE SALE OF MY BOOK BEFORE THEY KILL ONE MORE KID JUST TO STEAL FROM ME. PROSTITUTES FROM SOUTH AMERICA ARE NOT ALLOWED TO "RAPE AND ROB" OTHER WOMEN'S HUSBANDS AND THEY WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO STEAL FROM ITALIAN GIRLS! [When prostitutes from South America have sex with other women's husbands, it causes viruses to be created because God has already designed the Italian "Romeo" (11-11-74) to be with his Italian "Juliet" (11-14-74).] This book explains why God created the human race and what God intended for all of us. It is very important for the future of all generations, so they know and understand, why their loved ones died from the "affliction to the human race" as a result of the: injustices, abuses, bank robberies, damages, terrorist attacks, guerrilla warfare attacks, injuries, adultery and group sex orgies with South American kids from 2018-2021--on behalf of the: evil, lying, thieving Morrone family who "raped and robbed" DiCaprio (11-11-74) to steal from Calabrese (11-14-74). I also wrote this book to teach Leo DiCaprio about the meaning of "DOUBLE DATES" and how if any lies are told about them, brain damages in young girls could happen as a result of lies about double dates. I was forced to write this book as a result of leg amputations happening to young girls as a result of: lying, thieving, Nazi fascist pigs and the Charles Manson followers who stole from me (who were so evil they would cut the fetus from Sharon Tate just to steal from me) to aid and abet guerrilla warfare attacks on our county. (DICAPRIO, STOP BEING A DISHONEST, NAZI FASCIST PIG, AND LEARN TO HAVE SOME HUMAN DECENCY FOR REASONS OF PUBLIC SAFETY! I LOVE YOU, AND I'M HERE TO HELP YOU DEFEND US FROM RAPISTS, MURDERERS, BANK ROBBERS, BUT YOU HAVE TO STOP LYING AND STEALING FROM ME! YOU ALSO HAVE TO STOP LETTING THEM STEAL FROM ME. GOD DID NOT PUT ME ON THIS EARTH TO BE A VICTIM OF YOUR CONSTANT: THREATS, INJURIES AND BANK ROBBERIES JUST BECAUSE I'M TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT SOMETHING...FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY OF EVERYONE!) Dear Google, thank you for letting me publish this book. My little brother was just murdered because we were abused so badly by Martin Scorsese during the making of Apple TV+ 's "Killers of the Flower Moon". If we can sell 10 million copies of this book, we will make 100 million dollars. I won't get my little brother back, but at least I'll be able to buy things to Honor his great love for multi-culturally diverse families. I am a straight 'A', Dean's Honor List graduate with multiple college degrees. This book was created to prevent any new variants of Covid-19 from being created and to prevent any further unnecessary: damage, death and/or destruction to any more innocent people. One of my grandfather's was a doctor in the army and he specialized in Preventive Medicine. Thank you for letting it be published and God Bless Us All.
