The Indonesian archipelago is a land of timeless natural beauty that in the twenty-first century faces unprecedented environmental degradation. It was also the biological laboratory of Alfred Russel Wallace, who, working independently of Charles Darwin, discovered the theory of evolution by natural selection.Wallace, who traveled for eight years in the archipelago, was one of the greatest field naturalists and nature writers of his century. No one was more skilled in observing and describing living things. A prodigious collector, he was the first to bring living birds of paradise to the West. And he was a great thinker, a theorist as formidable as any on earth. This magnificent account of a true explorer sweeps from the time of Wallace's nineteenth-century discoveries in biogeography to the looming biodiversity crisis of the twenty-first century--from the exploration of natural wonders to the exploitation of natural resources. The result is a history that powerfully portrays the intricate connections of human life and natural life.This unique story, published by the University of California Press in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy, is resplendently presented with maps, archival materials, and more than 200 color photographs. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go toward conservation efforts in Indonesia.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. Photographer Tupper Ansel Blake and writer Peter Steinhart provide a new way of looking at the United States-Mexico borderlands. Instead of seeing a wasteland of browns and grays, Blake and Steinhart, and all others who recognize the value of the resources here, see the pale pinks and purples of ancient rock formations, the clamorous reds of tropical bird species, the cool greens of alpine forests, and the sparkling silver of mountain waters. This new way of seeing is critical to the survival of a unique and fragile region. Long dismissed as a desolate wasteland, the borderlands reveals, much to the contrary, startling beauty, variety, and biological richness. All along the border and for fifty miles on either side lies some of the world's most ecologically diverse land. It is rich in animal and plant species, many not found anywhere else, some in danger of disappearing forever. Blake's photos offer stunning portraits of the life and landscape to be found in this area: bighorn sheep, parrots, groves of cottonwood, jaguars, giant desert centipedes, a perfect rainbow over a desert scene. Steinhart describes the varied habitats - grasslands, desert, rivers, and floodplains - and the lives of the people who live there, as well as the environmental pressures being exerted on them. Evident beside the natural beauties of the borderlands are the effects of environmental degradation. Grasslands once covered much of the region, but now, after more than a century of cattle grazing and the introduction of nonnative grasses, little pristine grassland remains. Steamboats once navigated the San Pedro River to deliver goods to Tombstone, Arizona, but today most of the San Pedro has no year-roundsurface flow, and many species of fish and amphibians have disappeared. In Tamaulipas, the future of farmers and ranchers is in jeopardy also as the slow-growing mesquite forests are depleted for charcoal production. For many, charcoal represents the only source of income for hundreds Tupper Ansel Blake's stunning photography reveals the remarkable diversity of life and terrain within the land lying along the 2,000-mile border between Mexico and the U.S. Peter Steinhart's inspired text provides regional history, environmental awareness, and an understanding of the human role in the region. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.…
