Frogs: The Animal Answer Guide (The Animal Answer Guides: Q&A for the Curious Naturalist)
by Mike Dorcas Whit GibbonsFrogs are amazingly diverse—ranging from the massive goliath frog, which weighs several pounds, to the recently discovered gold frog, which measures a mere three-eighths of an inch when fully grown—and have inhabited the earth for more than 200 million years. Today, however, these amphibians face more challenges than any other vertebrate group. In this fun and informative book, herpetologists Mike Dorcas and Whit Gibbons answer common and not-so-common questions people may have about these fascinating animals.Dorcas and Gibbons discuss how frogs evolved, which species currently exist in the world, and why some have recently gone extinct. They reveal what frogs eat and what eats them, their role in cultures across the globe, why many populations are declining and what we can do to reverse this dangerous trend, why there are deformed frogs, and much more. They answer expected questions such as "What is the difference between a frog and a toad?" and "Why do some people lick toads?" and unexpected ones such as "Why do some frogs lay their eggs in the leaves of trees?" and "Do frogs feel pain?" The authors’ easy-to-understand yet thorough explanations provide insight into the amazing biology of this amphibian group. In addressing conservation questions, Dorcas and Gibbons highlight the frightening implications of the current worldwide amphibian crisis, which many scientists predict will bring extinction rates experienced by frog species to levels not seen in any vertebrate animal group in millions of years.Packed with facts and featuring two color galleries and 70 black-and-white photographs, Frogs: The Animal Answer Guide is sure to address the questions on the minds of curious naturalists.

From Abundance to Scarcity: A History Of U.S. Marine Fisheries Policy
by Michael L. WeberThe management of coastal and ocean fisheries is highly contentious. Industry interests focus on maximizing catches while conservationists and marine scientists have become increasingly concerned about dramatic declines in fish stocks and the health of ecosystems. Besides attempting to mediate among these interests, government agencies have pursued their own agendas, which have often lagged behind shifts in scientific understanding and public attitudes about the productivity of the oceans and uses of marine wildlife.From Abundance to Scarcity examines the evolution of US fisheries policy and institutions from the late 19th century to the present day, with an emphasis on changes since World War II. Based on archival research and interviews with dozens of key players in marine policymaking, it traces the thinking, legislation, mandates, and people that have shaped the various agencies governing fisheries in the United States. The book discusses the development of federal programs in marine biological sciences and the evolution of scientific understanding about marine wildlife populations; describes the work of federal fisheries programs; considers the response of agencies to factors such as dam-building and coastal development that have led to increased pollution and habitat loss; examines the shifts in understanding and values that underlie major legislation; and examines the evolving relationship between federal agencies, the fishing industry, communities, and nongovernmental conservation organizations.From Abundance to Scarcity sheds light on the sets of interests that have shaped US fisheries policy, lending historical depth to current debates and providing a fuller understanding of current laws and regulations. It offers an insightful overview for professionals involved with fisheries management or the fishing industry, conservationists working on marine issues, and students of marine, environmental, or public policy.
