""The idea that humans can effectively manage nature - that we can successfully manipulate and control our environment to meet our needs and satisfy our desires - is almost universally accepted in today's society." "In Unmanaged Landscapes, editor Bill Willers brings together an insightful and thought-provoking selection of writings that challenge that assumption. Written between the mid-nineteenth century and the present day, the pieces range from two paragraphs written in response to an exam question to tightly reasoned philosophical arguments. They offer the thoughts, stories, and analysis of scientists, journalists, philosophers, historians, educators, and others who have considered the effects and implications of resource management, and have found themselves in favor of keeping some landscapes free from human interference."- (back cover).

4to. 273 pages. Profusely illustrated. Original cloth; dust jacket. Revised and augmented edition. Dust jacket notes: "Trout Biology may be the most important book for a trout fisherman's library: for no other book offers such a comprehensive biological portrait of the fisherman's quarry. This is the definitive natural history of trout and salmon, thoughtfully updated and revised and completely reset. Trout Biology presents the life history, characteristics, behavior patterns, and place in the ecosystem of the salmonids. The chapters on behavior are of course of special interest to anglers, with their authoritative treatment of social and territorial behavior, feeding habits, food-color choice, reactions to cover and light, learning and memory, sounds and sound perception, and methods of movement. As Tom Rosenbauer, author of Reading Trout Streams, says: 'Trout Biology is the best book available for anglers who wish to learn all about a trout's life cycle.'" Surprisingly scarce. Some light spotting to sheet edges, previous owner's near address label on title and endleaves, cloth fresh and bright, binding strong, light shelfwear to jacket.
