Cat Wars
Author: Peter P. Marra
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691167419
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Why our cats are a danger to species diversity and human health In 1894, a lighthouse keeper named David Lyall arrived on Stephens Island off New Zealand with a cat named Tibbles. In just over a year, the Stephens Island Wren, a rare bird endemic to the island, was rendered extinct. Mounting scientific evidence confirms what many conservationists have suspected for some time—that in the United States alone, free-ranging cats are killing birds and other animals by the billions. Equally alarming are the little-known but potentially devastating public health consequences of rabies and parasitic Toxoplasma passing from cats to humans at rising rates. Cat Wars tells the story of the threats free-ranging cats pose to biodiversity and public health throughout the world, and sheds new light on the controversies surrounding the management of the explosion of these cat populations. This compelling book traces the historical and cultural ties between humans and cats from early domestication to the current boom in pet ownership, along the way accessibly explaining the science of extinction, population modeling, and feline diseases. It charts the developments that have led to our present impasse—from Stan Temple's breakthrough studies on cat predation in Wisconsin to cat-eradication programs underway in Australia today. It describes how a small but vocal minority of cat advocates has campaigned successfully for no action in much the same way that special interest groups have stymied attempts to curtail smoking and climate change. Cat Wars paints a revealing picture of a complex global problem—and proposes solutions that foresee a time when wildlife and humans are no longer vulnerable to the impacts of free-ranging cats.

Book Description
Enjoy this humorous urban fantasy series with an antihero demon by author Debra Dunbar *** A gemstone might destroy the world before I get the chance to do it myself. Interdimensional rifts are opening, spilling supernatural creatures into the world of the humans. Locating and closing the gateways takes two—an angel and a demon. It’s the opportunity I’ve been waiting for, the common goal that might allow demons and angels to put aside nearly three million years of hate. But there’s a stolen gem I need to find to pay off a debt—a gem with a dark power that could shatter any hope of peace between heaven and hell. I’ll have to decide where to focus my energies and choose who to trust, or a war will descend on us that rivals the one that originally split the angelic host. *** If you like Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, Shayne Silvers, Hailey Edwards, or Yasmine Galenorn, you'll love this series. The Imp world includes demons, angels, werewolves, elves, vampires, and more.
