Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Frogs and Toads in Your Pocket
Author: Terry VanDeWalle
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1609380606
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Frogs and toads have become canaries in the coal mine when it comes to conservation, as the discovery of malformed frogs has brought increased attention to global habitat loss, declining biodiversity, and environmental pollution. Midwestern species of frogs and toads—already declining due to habitat loss from agriculture—have been greatly affected by this worldwide phenomenon. VanDeWalle includes a complete description of each species along with distinguishing characteristics for three subspecies, information about range and habitat preferences, diet, types of calls, and breeding season.

Discovering Amphibians
Author: John Himmelman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780892727032
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
What makes amphibians so fascinating? They're mostly small and well camouflaged and (with a few notable exceptions) they tend to stay silent as they go about their little lives. Nonetheless, as naturalist and author John Himmelman can attest, people of all ages are visiting Web sites, going on nature walks, and attending talks just to learn more about these creatures that share our ponds, woods, and gardens. Like so many of us, John never lost his childhood affection for "'phibs" -- frogs, toads, salamanders (including newts and mudpuppies). Unlike most of us, he still hasn't outgrown a tendency to fling himself outdoors to find migrating salamanders, or chorusing tree frogs, or wood frogs frozen solid (but very much alive) beneath fallen leaves. Although the "protagonists" of Discovering Amphibians may be small, the scope of the book is broad, covering everything from amphibians' physiology to their place in folklore and literature to possible explanations of why so many amphibian populations have declined. Along the way we learn where to find the different species of 'phibs, how to handle them safely, how to create vernal pools and year-round pond habitats for them, and how to effectively protect the populations of amphibians in our own areas.
