Whooping Cranes: Biology and Conservation covers one of the most
endangered birds in North America, and the subject of intense
research and highly visible conservation activity. The volume
summarizes current biological information on Whooping Cranes and
provides the basis for future research necessary for conservation
of this species. This edited volume concentrates on work completed
in the past 20 years in the areas of population biology, behavior
and social structure, habitat use, disease and health, captive
breeding, and Whooping Crane conservation. Much of the information
presented comes from the study and management of remnant and
reintroduced populations of Whooping Cranes in the field; some
information is from experimentation and breeding of captive
Whooping Cranes. Whooping Cranes: Biology and Conservation seeks to
inform and galvanize action dedicated to meeting the challenges
faced by Whooping Crane managers and conservationists. Thus, it
describes one model of endangered species conservation and
restoration that will interest a wide audience: professionals that
work on cranes; researchers in the fields of small population
biology, endangered species, and avian ecology; wildlife
veterinarians and those involved in avian husbandry; administrators
of management agencies or conservation organizations;
conservationists in other fields; teachers of conservation biology
or ornithology and their students; and the educated general public.
Inspired by letters from family members who served on the Western
Front and written home to Bangor, News From Nowhere describes the
impact of war on a family, including Bronwyn, the sister who comes
of age as her brothers and father endure the torments of the
trenches and the battlefield. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
