Modern Peregrines reveal that geographic isolation may befall even a creature renowned for great speed and mobility. Peregrine Falcons of the World brings together the lifetime experiences of the authors with this splendid fa...

In the Field, Among the Feathered
America is a nation of ardent, knowledgeable birdwatchers. But how did it become so? And what role did the field guide play in our passion for spotting, watching, and describing birds? In the Field, Among the Feathered tells the history of field guides to birds in America from the Victorian era to the present, relating changes in the guides to shifts in science, the craft of field identification, and new technologies for the mass reproduction of images.

The Raptors of Arizona
Thousands of birdwatchers come to Arizona each year seeking rare or intriguing species, and for those watching the skies the additional sighting of a bird of prey is a reward in itself.

Arizona's raptors are found in an unrivaled diversity of habitats, from saguaro cactus forests where tiny Elf Owls nest to...

Intensive culture of catfish has not been developed as it has for trout and carp production. Even so, intensive catfish rearing ventures are yielding modest to sizeable secondary incomes in Southern and Central States where pond temperatures are 70 degrees F or higher at least 4 months during the year. In most cases, fingerlings are purchased from commercial breeders, because catfish propagation requires elaborate facilities and considerable time.
