Return to wild America : a yearlong search for the continent's natural soul / by Weidensaul, Scott.(CARDINAL)198247;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 353-372) and index.Atlantic gateway -- Woods in the city -- Forests of loss and resiliency -- Replumbing Florida -- The South's wild soul -- Las Tortugas -- Wilderness lost (and found) -- The real treasure of the Sierra Madre -- The sky islands -- The golden coast -- Fire and water -- In the kingdom of conifers -- Super-tundra -- The wildest shore -- Homeward bound.In 1953, birding guru Roger Tory Peterson and British naturalist James Fisher set out on what became a legendary journey--a 100-day trek over 30,000 miles around North America. Two years later, Wild America, their classic account of the trip, was published. On the eve of that book's 50th anniversary, naturalist Scott Weidensaul retraces their steps to tell the story of wild America today. The journey takes him to the coastal communities of Newfoundland, where he examines the devastating impact of the Atlantic cod fishery's collapse on the ecosystem; to Florida, where he charts the virtual extinction of the great wading bird colonies that Peterson and Fisher once documented; to the Mexican tropics of Xilitla, which have become a growing center of ecotourism since Fisher and Peterson's exposition. And perhaps most surprising of all, Weidensaul finds that much of what Peterson and Fisher discovered remains untouched by the industrial developments of the last fifty years.--From publisher description.

Orbit : NASA astronauts photograph the earth / by Apt, Jay.(CARDINAL)633968; Helfert, Michael R.(CARDINAL)779830; Ressmeyer, Roger,1954-(CARDINAL)781679; Wilkinson, Justin.(CARDINAL)639669;
Africa -- Europe and Middle East -- Asia -- The aurora -- Pacific -- Middle and South America -- North America.Orbit takes the reader into space for astronaut's views of home: Cape Cod arching into the Atlantic, Mount Everest casting its shadow over lesser peaks, the sands of the Sahara arrayed in endless patterns. Like any travelers, these voyagers in space have aimed their cameras at sights that startled their eyes. They have flown through the aurora and captured its rippling, mystic colors. They have looked down upon storms and volcanoes. And they have documented the human imprint upon the Earth: the scarred forests, the topsoil washing into the sea. As these matchless photos show, we now keep a vigil over our Earth, a vigil that will help us preserve this realm of fragile beauty.

Coastal plants from Cape Cod to Cape Canaveral / by Stuckey, Irene H.(Irene Hawkins),1911-2001.(CARDINAL)321497; Gould, Lisa Lofland.(CARDINAL)321496;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-288) and index."This illustrated guidebook introduces readers to 125 frequently encountered wildflowers and other plants that grow in coastal habitats from Massachusetts to central Florida. Drawn from the authors' many years of studying, photographing, and teaching others about plants and their habitats, the book emphasizes species that grow in areas influenced by salt water and salt spray - including beaches, dunes, salt marshes, intertidal shores, coastal cliffs, and brackish waters - but also includes plants that grow in habitats that border marine ecosystems, such as coastal woodlands and freshwater estuaries."."Organized by plant family, the guide provides the scientific and common names for each species, notes about its range and habitat, and a detailed botanical description that includes information about its growth habits and life history, flowers and fruits, human uses, and importance to wildlife. Color photographs by the authors accompany the entries, and information about closely related or easily confused species makes precise identification even easier. The book also features an overview of coastal habitats and a section on planning field trips to coastal areas, as well as a glossary, list of selected natural areas to visit, and reference section."."This guide will appeal to everyone from the budding naturalist out to enjoy a day at the beach to the professional scientist seeking accurate, current information about coastal plants."--BOOK JACKET.
