Zustand: 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. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Cash Case (Cover Art) (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. [4], xiii, [1], 513, [3] pages. Illustrations. Chronology. Bibliography. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Mark Leonard Shurtleff (born August 9, 1957) is an American attorney and founder of the Shurtleff Law Firm and the Shurtleff Group. He was a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of the law firm Troutman Sanders and served as a Salt Lake County Commissioner and the Attorney General of the state of Utah. He is the first Attorney General in Utah to win re-election for a third term. In April 2013, Shurtleff testified before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee in support of comprehensive immigration reform during the Hearing on the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act, S.744. In February, 2013, Shurtleff spoke on Capitol Hill in Washington DC on "The Role of State Attorneys General in Enforcing Federal Law" to Congressional staffers at the Civil Justice Caucus Academy run by George Mason University School of Law. "Dred Scott's inspiring and compelling true story of adventure, courage, love, hatred, and friendship parallels the history of this nation from the long night of slavery to the narrow crack in the door that would ultimately lead to freedom and equality for all men". An illiterate slave, Dred Scott trusted in an all-white, slave-owning jury to declare him free. But after briefly experiencing the glory of freedom and manhood, a new state Supreme Court ordered the cold steel of the shackles to be closed again around his wrists and ankles. Falling to his knees, Dred cried, "Ain't I a man?" Dred answered his own question by rising and taking his fight to the U.S. Supreme Court. Dred ultimately lost his epic battle when the Chief Justice declared that a black man was so inferior that he had "no rights a white man was bound to respect." Dred died not knowing that his undying courage led directly to the election of President Abraham Lincoln and the emancipation proclamation. Dred Scott's inspiring and compelling true story of adventure, courage, love, hatred, and friendship parallels the history of this nation from the long night of slavery to the narrow crack in the door that would ultimately lead to freedom and equality for all men. Dred Scott (c. 1799 - September 17, 1858) was an enslaved African-American man in the United States who unsuccessfully sued for his freedom and that of his wife, Harriet Robinson Scott, and their two daughters in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case of 1857, popularly known as the "Dred Scott case". Scott claimed that he and his wife should be granted their freedom because they had lived in Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory for four years, where slavery was illegal and their laws said that slaveholders gave up their rights to slaves if they stayed for an extended period. In a landmark case, the United States Supreme Court decided 7-2 against Scott, finding that neither he nor any other person of African ancestry could claim citizenship in the United States, and therefore Scott could not bring suit in federal court under diversity of citizenship rules. Moreover, Scott's temporary residence outside Missouri did not bring about his emancipation under the Missouri Compromise, as the court ruled this to have been unconstitutional, as it would "improperly deprive Scott's owner of his legal property". While Chief Justice Roger B. Taney had hoped to settle issues related to slavery and Congressional authority by this decision, it aroused public outrage, deepened sectional tensions between the northern and southern states, and hastened the eventual explosion of their differences into the American Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the post-Civil War Reconstruction Amendments-the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments-nullified the decision. The Scotts were manumitted by a private arrangement in May 1857. Dred Scott died of tuberculosis a year later.
