متن يادداشت

"Despite its implacable, prehistoric appearance, the desert is a dynamic landscape, responsive to a myriad of influences. And as the population of the southwestern United States has exploded, humans have become the primary catalyst for desert change." "In The Masked Bobwhite Rides Again, naturalist and ecologist John Alcock explores the complex relationship between the desert and its human inhabitants through a collection of thoughtful and thought-provoking essays. Blending his keen eye for the nuances of desert life with a wealth of scientific knowledge, he takes us on a tour of "a land that has been through a host of changes...some caused by slow-moving but inexorable geological and biological processes and others by fast-moving humans and our heavy-footed livestock."" "Alcock elegantly chronicles not only the changes wrought on the desert by people but also the ability of the desert to recover and rejuvenate if given the chance. He offers us hope through stories of small, tentative successes - such as the reintroduction of the masked bobwhite quail in southeastern Arizona - all the while gently but persistently prodding us to "maintain the biological heritage that...has the capacity to enrich the lives of us all, if we would just respect it a little more.""--BOOK JACKET.
