U.S: Ted B. Lyon 2014. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Rear wrapper creased ink name and note on title page. 2014 Trade Paperback. xv 351 pp. "How have thriving elk populations of thousands dwindled to mere hundreds in just a matter of years Author Ted B. Lyon asserts the wolf is at fault. He also blames the wolf for the rampant spread of infectious diseases among livestock populations and the decimation of wild deer moose sheep and domestic animals alike. A trial lawyer with over 37 years of litigation experience Lyon proves his case in The Real Wolf: The Science Politics and Economics of Co-Existing with Wolves in Modern Times. In this detailed yet easy-to-read essay collection authors Ted B. Lyon and Will N. Graves investigate the majesty and myths surrounding wolves in the United States and offer a new true picture of the wolf in contemporary America. The Real Wolf is an in-depth study of the impact wolves as a federally protected species have had on big game and livestock populations. Each chapter in the book is meticulously researched and written by authors and scientists who have spent years studying wolves and wolf behavior. Contributing authors Rob Arnaud Dr. Arthur Bergerud Karen Budd-Falen Jess Carey Dr. Matthew A. Cronin Dr. Valerius Geist Don Peay Laura Schneberger Heather Smith-Thomas and Cat Urbigkit each describe a unique aspect of the wolf in the United States. The Real Wolf does not call for the eradication of wolves from the United States but rather advocates a new system of species management that would allow wolves game animals and farmers to live in harmony.

Small folio 305 x 228 mm. Black-and-white portrait of Royal de Forest Hawley and 36 mounted plates of which most in color; printed tissue guards preserved. Original red cloth-backed boards printed paper label on spine. FIRST EDITION number 1399 of 2000 copies. With a fine provenance: From the collection of David W. Young who bought the "Goding" Amati that is described herein. Young inscribes the front flyleaf: "This rare book purchased from R. Wurlitzer in year 1961 at time I obtained the 'Goding' Amati violin of 1662 from Lyon & Healy. - signed - David W. Young at 18508 Clyde Ave. Homewood Ill U.S.A." Another similar inscription appears on another flyleaf. The "Goding" Amati is described in the catalogue on p. 48 within the broader historical context of the famous Cremonese violin makers: "The Goding Amati is covered with a coating of magnificent varnish of a golden brown color the texture of which is soft; and the evenness of skill of its application invokes the admiration of the connoisseur at a glance. It formed a part of the famous James Goding collection to which the King Joseph Guarneri also belonged." Hawley's collection was a veritable encyclopedia of classical violin making. Lyon & Healy acquired the collection in total after his death in 1893 and published this catalogue which established their reputation as America's eminent dealer at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. The remainder of the catalogue includes images and texts about instruments by Stradivari the Healy and the Earl Guarneri del Gesu King Joseph and Jarnowick Maggini Bergonzi Rogeri Guadagnini Joseph filius Andrea Guarneri Stainer and Lupot. <br/><br/> Lyon & Healy hardcover books
