NY: W.W. Norton & Co., 1993. First Edition, First Printing; dj w/unclipped price; 480 clean, unmarked pages...In all of Gould's work, this is the most contemplative and personal, speaking often of the importance of unbroken connections within our own lives and to our ancestral generations, "a theme of supreme importance to evolutionists who study a world in which extinction is the ultimate fate of all and prolonged persistence the only meaningful measure of success.

This study brings closure to species survival arguments, by specifying via an Equation and its Graph what concentrations of Plutonium are required to cause species extinctions. Charles Hyder holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from the University of New Mexico, and a Ph.D. in Astrogeophysics from the University of Colorado. He has published more than twenty solar and comet papers. He has worked for NASA, UCLA, UNM, and the Southwest Research and Information Center. He was an early whistle-blower, presenting effective and unacceptable criticism of plans for radwaste disposal in New Mexico, particularly at the Department of Energy's Waste Isolation Pilot Project near Carlsbad, NM. He and nineteen other radwaste experts were employed by the government of Lower Saxony, a State in Germany, to critique the Gorleben Salt Dome project, which was ultimately rejected. In 1986-87 he underwent a seven-month fast in Washington, DC, protesting against War. In this book he commits to another fast, terminal, he says, protesting the proposed opening of WIPP. It will remain open, over my dead body. This book provides the science which underlies that kind of certainty and commitment., Amador Publishers, 1998, 5, London: Little, Brown and Company, 2002.

Paperback. Good., Master Books, 1982-06, 2.5, The salmon that symbolize the Pacific Northwest's natural splendor are now threatened with extinction across much of their ancestral range. In studying the natural and human forces that shape the rivers and mountains of that region, geologist David Montgomery has learned to see the evolution and near-extinction of the salmon as a story of changing landscapes. Montgomery shows how a succession of historical experiences -first in the United Kingdom, then in New England, and now in the Pacific Northwest -repeat a disheartening story in which overfishing and sweeping changes to rivers and seas render the world inhospitable to salmon. In King of Fish, Montgomery traces the human impacts on salmon over the last thousand years and examines the implications both for salmon recovery efforts and for the more general problem of human impacts on the natural world. What does it say for the long-term prospects of the world's many endangered species if one of the most prosperous regions of the richest country on earth cannot accommodate its icon species? All too aware of the possible bleak outcome for the salmon, King of Fishconcludes with provocative recommendations for reinventing the ways in which we make environmental decisions about land, water, and fish.
