Fate of the Elephant
de Douglas H. Chadwick(Ed. Sierra Club Books) Isbn : 0871566354
23.76 €
On assignment for National Geographic magazine, Chadwick (A Beast the Color of Winter) spent most of two years observing elephants in American zoos and throughout Africa, India and southeast Asia. He also followed the ivory trade, visiting carvers and shops in Tokyo, Delhi, Hong Kong and Bangkok. His marvelous account depicts elephants at work and at play, profiles the people who work with them and sadly notes that their habitat is in decline. Chadwick's description of his African adventures covers much of the same ground as Ian and Oria DouglasHamilton's Battle for the Elephants; his report on the Asian elephants is especially welcome, since their story has been generally neglected. Chadwick visits an elephant reserve and a training camp in India; an expert on white elephants takes him to...

National Audubon Society North American Birdfeeder Guide
de Stephen W. Kress, Robert Burton(Ed. DK) Isbn : 0756608503
23.76 €
Of the approximately 700 North American bird species, about 100 are regular backyard species, and it is estimated that about one-third of all adults in the U.S. take time to watch them. By setting up feeders, nest boxes, and birdbaths and planting bird-friendly gardens, backyards can serve as bird sanctuaries. A chapter on "what birds need" examines the four major factors in their habitat: food, cover, water, and space. The authors describe the types of hanging and ground birdfeeders, birdbaths, and nest boxes. They recommend flowers, trees, shrubs, vines, ground covers, and the types of gardens that will attract birds. They explain bird behavior (their daily cycle of activity, migration, flight, feeding, vocal communication, courtship, nesting, and the ways they defend their territory). T...
