Download The Animals of El Yunque Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book is the end product of ten years of investigation. What began as a monthly 'Wildlife Facts' feature for the El Yunque National Forest's website in January, 2002 eventually comprised over 100 individual descriptions and full color illustrations of El Yunque rainforest animals. It seemed a natural progression to convert this remarkable collection into a 'portable' guide-book that would fit easily into a jacket-pocket or book bag... The Animals of El Yunque is a 'pictorial natural history' - it is not a comprehensive listing of every wildlife species that occurs in El Yunque - instead, it is an effort to describe a discrete selection of the animals that forest visitors might encounter and thus wish to identify while experiencing El Yunque's unique and exhilarating surroundings. Tropical forest enthusiasts and natural history 'buffs' will also be fascinated to discover the immense diversity of the animal populations that are described and pictured in full color on these pages - all of which thrive in El Yunque; America's only tropical rainforest...

Download The Trees of El Yunque Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book is the end product of ten years of exploration that began with a series of three small guide-books written to help El Yunque National Forest visitors to discover and identify some of the forest's many ecological marvels. These small reference books included descriptions of 57 individual tree species. Between 2010 and 2012, a monthly El Yunquer NF website feature 'Endemic Plant Facts' amassed an additonal 26 indigenous tree descriptions. Combining this significant collection of 83 specific portrayals (accompanied by full-color photos and illustrations) into a single, portable guide-book, similar to its predecessor 'The Animals of El Yunque', that would fit easily into a jacket-pocket or book-bag, and available as an 'e-book' and 'Smartphone App' seemed like a sensible idea. The end result, 'The Trees of El Yunque' is a 'pictorial natural history' - it is not a comprehensive listing of every species of flora that occurs in El Yunque - instead, it is an effort to present a discrete selection of trees that forest visitors might encounter and thus wish to identify while experiencing El Yunque's unique and exhilarating surroundings. Tropical forest enthusiasts and natural history 'buffs' should also be fascinated to discover the immense diversity of the flora described and pictured on these pages - all of which thrive in El Yunque; America's only tropical rainforest...

Western conceptions of objectivity and individuality have resulted in a readier appreciation of the worth of the animals and nature than has been recognized. This provocative book takes issue with the popular view that the Western cultural tradition, in contrast to Eastern and Aboriginal traditions, has encouraged attitudes of domination and exploitation towards nature, particularly animals. Preece argues that the Western tradition has much to commend it, and that descriptions of Aboriginal and Oriental orientations have often been misleadingly rosy, simplified and codified according to current fashionable concepts. Animals and Nature is the result of six years' intensive study into comparative religion, literature, philosophy, anthropology, mythology and animal welfare science.

“This book is a detailed, well-researched history of how a community of Puerto Ricans came to be in the heart if America. Puerto Rico owes a debt of gratitude to the author and should declare Dr. Tavenner an “honorary Boricua” for the extraordinary effort she has put into documenting the factual history and the fascinating life story of her Puerto Rican neighbor in Lorain, Ohio” ---Secretary of State and Lt. Governor of Puerto Rico, Kenneth McClintock “These Memoirs are reflective of an educational journey in search of ways to better understand and serve individuals, communities, and institutions as a servant leader, unconditionally.”] ---Dr. Generosa Lopez-Molina, Educational Leadership
