Book Description
This book tells the stories of wild animals. In this book, the author explains that some thirty years ago, while out on one of his land-looking trips in the woods of Northern Michigan, his father came upon a little lake that seemed to him the loveliest that he had ever seen, though he had visited many in the course of his explorations. There were no settlers anywhere near, nor even any Indians, yet there was no lack of inhabitants. Human neighbors were scarce around the lake, and perhaps that was one reason why we took such a lively interest in the other residents—those who were there ahead of us. One after another our neighbors introduced themselves, each in his way. And they were good neighbors, all of them. The book begins with an Introduction, then moves on to tell the Biography of a Beaver, the King of the Trout Stream, The Strenuous Life of a Canada Lynx, Pointers from a Porcupine Quill, the Adventures of a Loon, and finally the Making of a Glimmerglass Buck.

The Bioengineered Forest
Author: Steven H. Strauss
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136525718
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Bioengineering offers many opportunities for forestry. Bioengineered trees can produce more valuable wood, help reclaim contaminated land, improve the health of urban trees, and facilitate pest management. But the ecological risks are complex, and public views about the ethical acceptability of genetic engineering vary widely. Unique in its breadth and diversity, The Bioengineered Forest begins with a survey of the range of forestry practices for which the use of biotechnologies might be appropriate. Scholars representing diverse academic perspectives and viewpoints examine in depth the economic and environmental rationale for forest biotechnologies and the current state of technology with respect to gene performance and safety. They consider the contemporary political and economic environment in which bioengineering is being introduced and where the 'genomic revolution' might take forestry and genetic engineering in the future. The Bioengineered Forest presents compelling arguments in favor of genetic engineering. Just as powerfully, it examines the significant technical and legal hurdles involved in genetic engineering, the undesirable environmental and social consequences that might result from its misapplication, and the risks for businesses that are looking too exclusively for near-term benefits.
