* One of Library Journal's "Best" for 1989 * Choice Outstanding Academic Books for 1990 * Main Selection, Rodale Nature Book Society ".a book of passion and compassion, an historical perspective, and an invaluable overview of what extinction means." --Roger Caras ABC News "The vision of a virgin America haunts the American mind. It is a consolation; but it is much more a goad. The Endangered Kingdom begins as the one and proceeds as the other. In both it succeeds very well." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Not since Peter Matthiessen's Wildlife in America has there been such a readable, engaging book on the history of American wildlife issues." --BioScience ".an historical perspective and a balanced overview of present-day wildlife conservation . [DiSilvestro] reviews the successes and failures of wildlife conservation and he critically examines the state of wildlife management, endangered species, and nongame programs." --Choice "Every American with an interest in our natural heritage should be moved by The Endangered Kingdom." --Paul R. Ehrlich from the Foreword How well have we done with protecting our beleaguered species? What is the full impact of the Endangered Species Act? Is there a role for game hunters in wildlife management programs? This gracefully written and impassioned book explores these questions as it surveys our history of destruction and protection of the animals that share our lands, seas, and skies.
Award-winning author Terry Grosz, whose career in conservation is matched by his skill as a storyteller, revisits his rookie years as a fish and game warden for the State of California, where his on-the-job training got him into some awful scrapes (but the bad guys he chased almost always got into worse ones). As a law enforcement agent, he learned to sniff out trouble, defuse tense situations, and stay alive; and as a human being, he learned to temper justice with mercy and to treat everyone fairly. Grosz's stories are action-packed and driven by his passion to preserve our country's wildlife, whether he was working under the wing of a mentor, fighting out from underfoot of the bureaucrats, or stepping on the toes of corrupt and hypocritical politicians.
A historical rediscovery of one of the heroic founders of the conservation movement who was also one of the most infamous racists in American history
The centerpiece story takes place in Colorado's San Luis Valley, describing one of the largest sting operations to catch a ring of pachers in his career.
