Condition: Muy bueno. : Este libro narra la historia de la conservación a través de las historias naturales de dos de las aves más fascinantes del mundo: el pato de madera de América del Norte y el mandarín de Asia. Estas dos especies, únicas en su género (Aix), son originarias de continentes diferentes, pero durante mucho tiempo se han mantenido juntas en cautiverio. Ahora, por primera vez en la historia, también vuelan juntas en la naturaleza en una pequeña zona del norte de California. Esta rara circunstancia ha brindado a Lawton L. Shurtleff y Christopher Savage la oportunidad de observar la estrecha relación de estos patos y es el punto de partida de este libro informativo y bellamente ilustrado. Los capítulos iniciales cuentan cómo el pato de madera y el mandarín llegaron a habitar la ruta migratoria del Pacífico y explican sus extraordinarias similitudes. Los capítulos siguientes analizan las historias distintivas de las dos especies y describen las aves a lo largo de las estaciones en sus rutas migratorias nativas. El lugar de los mandarines en el arte y la literatura asiáticos es el tema del capítulo cinco. El capítulo final ilumina el exitoso trabajo realizado para proteger al pato de madera norteamericano, que ha logrado una notable recuperación tras estar cerca de la extinción, y los esfuerzos iniciales para proteger al mandarín, cuya existencia en Asia oriental está seriamente amenazada. El libro incluye fotografías a todo color de renombrados fotógrafos de vida silvestre, junto con fotografías de los autores, capturan la exquisita belleza de estas aves tan veneradas. Mapas detallados muestran el territorio de los patos de madera en América del Norte y el territorio de los mandarines en Asia oriental y Gran Bretaña. Tres apéndices (planes para construir cajas nido, instrucciones para anillar aves y listas de libros y organizaciones de conservación) y un índice completo son recursos valiosos en un libro que deleitará a los amantes de las aves y a los lectores en general.

hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. With brief gift inscription by and signed by Lawton. This is a story of conservation told through the natural histories of two of the world's most fascinating birds, the Wood Duck of North America and the Mandarin of Asia. The only two species in their genus (Aix), these Northern Wood Ducks are native to different continents but have long been kept together in captivity. Now, for the first time in history, they are also flying side by side in the wild in a small area of northern California. This rare circumstance has given Lawton L. Shurtleff and Christopher Savage the opportunity to observe the Northern Wood Ducks' close relationship and is the starting point of this informative and beautifully rendered book.The opening chapters tell how the Wood Duck and the Mandarin came to inhabit the Pacific Flyway and explain their extraordinary similarities. Subsequent chapters discuss the distinctive histories of the two species and describe the birds throughout the seasons in their native flyways. The Mandarins' place in Asian art and literature is the subject of Chapter Five. The final chapter illuminates the successful work done to protect the North American Wood Duck, which has made a remarkable recovery from near extinction, and the beginning efforts to protect the Mandarin, whose existence in East Asia is seriously threatened.Stunning full-color photographs by renowned wildlife photographers, along with photographs by the authors, capture the exquisite beauty of these much revered birds. Detailed maps show the Wood Ducks' territory in North America and the Mandarins' territory in East Asia and Great Britain. Three appendices?plans for building nestboxes, instructions for banding birds, and lists of books and conservation organizations?and a thorough index are valuable resources in a book that will delight bird-lovers and general readers alike.
