Over a two year period, artists Bryndis Snaebjornsdottir (Iceland) and Mark Wilson (England) have explored the networks and ripple effects of scientific conservation initiatives in Arizona. They have focused on the reintroduction of the chub in the Colorado River and the condor in the Grand Canyon in a kind of vertical slice of our natural environment. The book is based on the results of this research, as shown in the exhibition Trout Fishing in America and Other Stories at the Arizona State University Art Museum in 2015. "In our often belated attempts to steward, care for or 'repair' environments - when individual animals and animal populations are transformed from beings and societies into data, what of consequence is really captured - and importantly, what is lost?""

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a far-reaching law that has sparked intense controversies over the use of public lands, the rights of property owners, and economic versus environmental benefits. In this volume a distinguished committee focuses on the science underlying the ESA and offers recommendations for making the act more effective. The committee provides an overview of what scientists know about extinction--and what this understanding means to implementation of the ESA. Habitat--its destruction, conservation, and fundamental importance to the ESA--is explored in detail. The book analyzes Concepts of species--how the term "species" arose and how it has been interpreted for purposes of the ESA. Conflicts between species when individual species are identified for protection, including several case studies. Assessment of extinction risk and decisions under the ESA--how these decisions can be made more effectively. The book concludes with a look beyond the Endangered Species Act and suggests additional means of biological conservation and ways to reduce conflicts. It will be useful to policymakers, regulators, scientists, natural-resource managers, industry and environmental organizations, and those interested in biological conservation.
