Anyway, well worth careful study -- I spent all afternoon curled up with this thing. In my opinion, the book should be 50-100% longer than it is. I found the information very interesting and the pictures are just beautiful. I had already read the first three novels and read the first omnibus as a re-visitation. Botkin challenges environmentalists for too soon abandoning renewable energy for carbon-free electricity production given the difficulties and time for nuclear-reactor scale-up, the inadequate long-term supply of the nuclear fuels used in any current commercial reactors, and the grim and inevitable consequences of reactor accidents, which can be minimized but not eliminated. The book is from the early 1960's and contains mostly text and line drawings. All of it is there, lovingly spelled out by the Avatars of this Healing Method. The author then ties up all of the information to create some unrealistic conclusions.Throughout the book he makes some personal calculations to determine facts such as power capacity or environmental costsForest Cats of North America is an intensive look at panthers, cougars, lynxes and bobcats, describing each species in detail. Superb pictorial of big cats. Big cats are efficient predators that once roamed from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. Spectacular color photographs capture these cats as they stalk, hunt and raise their young. The fascinating evolution of big cats is covered including the differences between North American and African cats and how the cougar may well be the ancestor of the cheetah. Range maps identify where the cats live and fact files feature scientific and common names, number of subspecies, physical traits, diet, life span and more. Forest Cats of North America is a lively, informative introduction to the continent's most elusive predators.. Today, they are confined to scattered, remote habitaThis well-written book offers a good introduction to the lives of these three predators. A nice feature is a boxed "Basics" section about each cat, giving vital statistics, such as length and weight, diet, litter size, and North American population estimates. In short, easily read sections, the author compares and contrasts the behavior and lifestyles of each species. From Booklist Cougars, bobcats, and lynx are "ghosts" rarely seen even by those who venture into the wilderness. Nancy Bent. Hunting methods and prey species chosen are covered, as well as courtship and cub rearing, territoriality, and interactions with humans. Range maps are provided, along with a useful sidebar on the running and jumping abilities of each species--information that can be surprisingly hard to find! Illustrated with stunning photographs that not only illuminate the text but also further reveal details of behavior--one great image is of a fight between a bobcat and a lynx--this book will be a very goo
