A detailed exploration of the variety of threats that endangered species are facing around the world, whether they are due to human impact or so-called natural causes. Endangered species is a more complex issue and problem than it may seem on the surface. What species are endangered, and what is causing them to become vulnerable to population decline? How can essential industries such as farming, housing development, and manufacturing continue to thrive without harming flora and fauna that are protected? Are current efforts adequate or should more be done to protect endangered species? And who should be responsible for the substantial costs of working to save endangered species? Endangered Species: A Reference Handbook begins with an introduction that addresses major threats and extinctions in history, discusses the geographical and cultural contexts in which these incidents happened, highlights other key moments along the endangered species timeline, and clearly shows why the topic of endangered species matters. The following sections examine an unbiased synthesis of classic and contemporary studies that inform the issue of endangered species and outline the most controversial events related to endangered species and the actions that have been taken to address them. The book also presents perspective essays by scholars, activists, and other experts to provide diverse informed opinions on the issue of endangered species and includes a data and documents chapter that applies research finding to provide answers to questions like what species are most likely to become endangered in the future and which practices have historically been the most effective at protecting vulnerable species.

The Rebel

By: Jan Hudson

The only girl in a large family dedicated to law enforcement, Belle Starr Outlaw has quit her job as an FBI agent and divorced her cheating husband. Starting over, and too independent to be taken care of by her mom and dad, she lands in Wimberley, central Texas, to regroup. This small town is wonderful, and Belle is enamored of the people--especially Gabe Burrell. Gabe's obviously a successful man--and a family man, seeing how protective he is of his mother and sister. But Belle wonders about stepping into a life recently vacated by Gabe's ex-wife. Perhaps she's not ready for a new relationship.... And there's more to the story--a secret that Gabe's not telling her. But since when does a rebel proceed with caution?
