Rescued!
Rescued! Tales of a Wildlife Biologist and His Sons By: Donald W. Linzey RESCUED! tells the story of how one man shared his love of animals and passion for wildlife research with his two sons, and later inspired them in choosing their career paths. In this memoir, Linzey recounts how his boyhood interest in animals developed into a passionate and successful career as a wildlife biologist, a job which for him often included bringing his work home in the form of orphaned gopher tortoises, hog-nosed snakes, flying squirrels, raccoons, and more. For his two sons, growing up in a household filled with these many creatures and frequently joining their father on research trips gave them a unique childhood filled with adventure, humor, and a deep love and respect for the beauty of nature.

The deer and the bear so popular with travelers in Great Smoky Mountains National Park are but two of the plentiful mammals found in the varied habitats of this important national preserve. Alicia V. and Donald W. Linzey, husband-and-wife zoological team at the University of South Alabama, here combine their own experience and research in the Park with notes taken over a thirty-year period by naturalist Arthur Stupka to describe sixty-five species of present and former residents. Writing for laymen and biologists alike, the authors tell of distribution, habitat, food habits, predation, and reproductive habits of mammals ranging from the pigmy shrew to the conspicuous black bear. Among photographs accompanying this first book on the subject the reader will find mammals both common and rare. Donald W. Linzey, a wildlife biologist and ecologist, is professor of biology at Wytheville Community College in Wytheville, Virginia. He is an authority on the mammals of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and its environs.
