WILSON EDWARD O
The Diversity Of Life
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 1992. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. In the Amazon Basin the greatest violence sometimes begins as a flicker of light beyond the horizon. There in the perfect bowl of the night sky untouched by light from any human source a thunderstorm sends its premonitory signal and begins a slow journey to the observer who thinks: the world is about to change." Watching from the edge of the Brazilian rain forest witness to the sort of violence nature visits upon its creatures Edward O. Wilson reflects on the crucible of evolution and so begins his remarkable account of how the living world became diverse and how humans are destroying that diversity. Wilson internationally regarded as the dean of biodiversity studies conducts us on a tour through time traces the processes that create new species in bursts of adaptive radiation and points out the cataclysmic events that have disrupted evolution and diminished global diversity over the past 600 million years. The five enormous natural blows to the planet such as meteorite strikes and climatic changes required 10 to 100 million years of evolutionary repair. The sixth great spasm of extinction on earth--caused this time entirely by humans--may be the one that breaks the crucible of life. Wilson identifies this crisis in countless ecosystems around the globe: coral reefs grasslands rain forests and other natural habitats. Drawing on a variety of examples such as the decline of bird populations in the United States the extinction of many species of freshwater fish in Africa and Asia and the rapid disappearance of flora and fauna as the rain forests are cut down he poignantly describes the death throes of the living world's diversity--projected to decline as much as 20 percent by the year 2020. All evidence marshaled here resonates through Wilson's tightly reasoned call for a spirit of stewardship over the world's biological wealth. He makes a plea for specific actions that will enhance rather than diminish not just diversity but the quality of life on earth. Cutting through the tangle of environmental issues that often obscure the real concern Wilson maintains that the era of confrontation between forces for the preservation of nature and those for economic development is over; he convincingly drives home the point that both aims can and must be integrated. Unparalleled in its range and depth Wilson's masterwork is essential reading for those who care about preserving the world biological variety and ensuring our planet's health. ISBN: 0674212983.

Can not be certain but I surmise that this title has never been revised. Unmarked crisp spine uncreased. Some cover edgewear tiny penned dot bottom edge. Too large for customary fast flat rate ship domestic media mail shipping at our usual price. We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described and graded using the strict traditional standards. For this reason we have virtually zero returns. Belknap Press Harvard Paperback

WINSTON MARK L
Bee Time: Lessons From The Hive
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2014. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Being among bees is a full-body experience Mark Winston writes�from the low hum of tens of thousands of insects and the pungent smell of honey and beeswax to the sight of workers flying back and forth between flowers and the hive. The experience of an apiary slows our sense of time heightens our awareness and inspires awe. Bee Time presents Winston's reflections on three decades spent studying these creatures and on the lessons they can teach about how humans might better interact with one another and the natural world. Like us honeybees represent a pinnacle of animal sociality. How they submerge individual needs into the colony collective provides a lens through which to ponder human societies. Winston explains how bees process information structure work and communicate and examines how corporate boardrooms are using bee societies as a model to improve collaboration. He investigates how bees have altered our understanding of agricultural ecosystems and how urban planners are looking to bees in designing more nature-friendly cities. The relationship between bees and people has not always been benign. Bee populations are diminishing due to human impact and we cannot afford to ignore what the demise of bees tells us about our own tenuous affiliation with nature. Toxic interactions between pesticides and bee diseases have been particularly harmful foreshadowing similar effects of pesticides on human health. There is much to learn from bees in how they respond to these challenges. In sustaining their societies bees teach us ways to sustain our own. Mark L. Winston is Academic Director of the Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University and Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. "In this personal and scientific journey into the history we share with bees Winston ranges over neonicotinoid pesticides and colony collapse the control of African 'killer' bees and more. The charismatic social insects emerge as both icons of societal cohesion and symbols of nature's paradoxically mingled power and fragility."�Barbara Kiser Nature "Winston writes lovingly of the rhythms and quiddities of the apiary� In a highly personal style Winston steps between reportage scientific exactitude and a deep poetically expressed love of bees beekeeping and the cultural forms that bees inspire. People and bees have been working together for millennia�synergy that Winston sensitized by his work as a communications specialist clearly feels brings out the best and the worst in humanity. His take on the situation makes Bee Time an insightful delight."�Adrian Barnett New Scientist "Winston wants to acquaint his readers with the fascinating complexity of the bee world and he also wants to alert readers to the fact that the bee world is drastically endangered. He brings to this hybrid task a very smooth ability to simplify the complex bee-literature he's obviously mastered providing engaging glimpses into the world of the hive�and usually presenting them in parallel context of the human world� Considering the enormous ripple-effects that would happen in the wake of the disappearance of these key pollinators Winston's wake-up call takes on an urgency that's belied by its friendly approachable tone. That clarion call makes Bee Time an important book even if you by chance suffer from a touch of apiphobia."�Steve Donoghue Open Letters Monthly "Winston presents a stark picture of how much we expect from and rely on bees."�Kristin Treen Literary Review "Thoughtful and eloquent� Winston is an inspired cross-pollinator who uses the 'full-body experience' of being with bees to draw lessons for human hives."�Sarah Murdoch The Toronto Star "Winston's lyricism inspires awe of these necessary insects."�Temma Ehrenfeld The Weekly Standard "A recap of what's been going on in beekeeping over the past 10 years or so� Winston has left no hive unturned in this work documenting all the good and the bad that has occurred� There are indeed lessons to learn from a bee hive. This work will share some of them with you."�Kim Flottum Bee Culture "Winston combines beekeeping work/research philosophical musings and his personal memories in this enjoyable book."�J. M. Gonzalez Choice "No other book celebrates the long relationship between humans and honeybees as powerfully thoughtfully and enchantingly as this one. Written in lyrical prose Bee Time is a delightful and inspiring read."�Thomas D. Seeley author of Honeybee Democracy "Bee Time is a unique book: in turn a touching memoir a warm paean to the honey bees that have fueled Winston's impressive scientific career and an insightful analysis of some of the serious environmental problems facing us today."�Gene E. Robinson University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2014 hardcover
