Site descriptions are organized by ecologically relevant units known as Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs), which roughly correspond to physiographic regions. That approach conforms to the organizational approach of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative, in which large-scale bird conservation plans have been developed and are being implemented by BCR. The book is thus divided into 37 such BCR chapters, with multiple sites in each.

A documentary on Al Gore's campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide. Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. "Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore.

The face of a cheetah fills the screen, then its sleek and streamlined body hurtles by in slow motion. Suddenly you are able to see the grace and poetry of this magnificent cat as never before, to watch the remarkable effort of each stride and turn as it chases its prey to the death. These innovative images were the work of Owen Newman and Amanda Barrett, who made their reputations filming the big cats of Africa as no one had done before. This 14-year retrospective of their work features the two filmmakers talking about how they managed to capture never-before-seen footage of big cats, including some that had been written off as impossible to film. To these two filmmakers, "impossible" was just a challenge to overcome. Driving into the night, armed with night goggles, infrared lights and cameras, they were the first to film leopards at night, uncovering a whole array of behavior that was new to science and filmmakers alike. Two other cats, servals and caracals, only glimpsed in passing by other filmmakers, became newly discovered stars of their own films. And with captivating stories and characters, Newman and Barrett were able to transform lions from big cats everyone thought they knew into individuals with personalities, griefs, and grudges. Join these two remarkable filmmakers for a spectacular tour de force of the cat world, complete with high drama and some of the most exciting wildlife moments of cat action ever filmed.

In Cradle to Cradle, the authors present a manifesto calling for a new industrial revolution, one that would render both traditional manufacturing and traditional environmentalism obsolete. Recycling, for instance, is actually "downcycling," creating hybrids of biological and technical "nutrients" which are then unrecoverable and unusable. The authors, an architect and a chemist, want to eliminate the concept of waste altogether, while preserving commerce and allowing for human nature. They offer several compelling examples of corporations that are not just doing less harm--they're actually doing some good for the environment and their neighborhoods, and making more money in the process. Cradle to Cradle is a refreshing change from the intractable environmental conflicts that dominate headlines. It's a handbook for 21st-century innovation and should be required reading for business hotshots and environmental activists. Authors: William McDonough, Michael Braungart

The Great Plains were once among the greatest grasslands on the planet. But as the United States and Canada grew westward, the Plains were plowed up, fenced in, overgrazed, and otherwise degraded. Today, this fragmented landscape is the most endangered and least protected ecosystem in North America. But all is not lost on the prairie. Through lyrical photographs, essays, historical images, and maps, this beautifully illustrated book gets beneath the surface of the Plains, revealing the lingering wild that still survives and whose diverse natural communities, native creatures, migratory traditions, and natural systems together create one vast and extraordinary whole.

This extraordinary natural preserve shelters a primeval forest, the continent's largest population of brown bears, sizeable packs of wolves and lynx, and a host of other creatures which have all but disappeared elsewhere. But it is perhaps best known for its chain of 16 crystal-clear lakes that flow into one another through a series of spectacular terraces and countless waterfalls.

Ecological hysteria or reasonable scientific forecast? Either way, The End of Nature has a deeper, philosophical point to make. McKibben writes eloquently of the meaning of these changes - about the sadness of a world where there is no escaping man. Although for centuries civilization has pillaged and polluted the earth, in the past those attacks were relatively localized; now, with the global changes caused by greenhouse gases and ozone depletion, man has altered the most elemental processes of life everywhere, and the outdoors, Nature itself, has been turned into the equivalent of an enormous heated room. *Author:* Bill McKibben *Format:* Paperback *Publisher:* Random House Trade Paperbacks *Publish Date:* June 2006 *Pages:* 224

We can't all camp out in old-growth forests, lying down in front of the bulldozers. And it's not only that we're too busy: Some of us just don't want our fabulous threads to get caked with mud. But that doesn't mean we don't care passionately about the environment. Luckily, the days when becoming environmentally aware entailed eating bread that tasted like dirt, wearing clothes that looked like frayed burlap sacks, and spending summer vacations assailing whaling ships with Greenpeace are passing away. It is now perfectly possible (and increasingly easy) to be well fed, well coiffed, well dressed, and well traveled while remaining deeply committed to an ecologically sustainable lifestyle.

Venom comes in many varieties and offers any number of horrific ways to die - destroying blood cells, dissolving flesh, paralyzing nerves and muscles, and stopping the breath, as deadly doses of coagulants, anti-coagulants, toxins, and poisons shut down the systems of the body. Death is swift, and in many cases, violent. Yet venom researchers are finding that there is much more to the story, just waiting to be revealed.

Since the invasion of Tibet over 50 years ago, China has systematically destroyed the Tibetan culture. One of the most profound losses is the tradition of the great master yogis. The entire system which supported these fascinating mind masters has been inexorably eliminated. In order to record these mystical practitioners for posterity, the filmmakers were given permission to film heretofore secret demonstrations and to conduct interviews on subject matter rarely discussed. This profound historical, spiritual and educational film will someday be the last remnant of these amazing practitioners.
