Zoo Animal Welfare thoroughly reviews the scientific literature on
the welfare of zoo and aquarium animals. Maple and Perdue draw from
the senior author's 24 years of experience as a zoo executive and
international leader in the field of zoo biology. The authors'
academic training in the interdisciplinary field of psychobiology
provides a unique perspective for evaluating the ethics, practices,
and standards of modern zoos and aquariums. The book offers a
blueprint for the implementation of welfare measures and an
objective rationale for their widespread use. Recognizing the great
potential of zoos, the authors have written an inspirational book
to guide the strategic vision of superior, welfare-oriented
institutions. The authors speak directly to caretakers working on
the front lines of zoo management, and to the decision-makers
responsible for elevating the priority of animal welfare in their
respective zoo. In great detail, Maple and Perdue demonstrate how
zoos and aquariums can be designed to achieve optimal standards of
welfare and wellness.

A bold rallying cry for conservative environmental leadership.
Appealing to America's core conservative readership and defying
conventional thinking, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich
and eminent conservationist Terry L. Maple posit that the values of
conservative America are aligned with the principles of
conservation and ?entrepreneurial environmentalism.? Saving the
earth is not?and cannot be?a partisan issue. The authors outline a
ten-point Contract with the Earth that promotes ingenuity over
rhetoric, maintaining that the expansion of ?green business, ? new
technologies, and environmental economic incentives will be the
defining opportunities for the leaders of the next generation.
An inspiring call to action, "A Contract with the Earth" offers a
vision of the future that is both hopeful and achievable.
