This multifaceted exploration of our current biodiversity crisis delivers vivid examples throughout, including features on some of nature's most compelling wildlife. Beginning with a brief introduction to environmental history, the text introduces the central concepts of evolution and ecology, and covers several major issues related to the conservation of biodiversity including extinction, climate change, sustainability, conservation law, and invasive species. It also touches on adjacent disciples such as economics and sociology as they relate to conservation. The text even includes practical advice on the decisions we make every day-how we spend our money, where we live and work, what we eat and buy. Throughout, Protecting Life on Earth underscores the ways in which our future is tied to that of Earth's threatened species, and demonstrates exactly why conservation is so vitally important for us all. 606 $aWildlife conservation$vTextbooks 606 $aEcology$vTextbooks 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aEcology 676 $a578.68 700 $aMarchetti$b Michael P$0889517 701 $aMoyle$b Peter B$0511512 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459036703321 996 $aProtecting life on Earth$92452487 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01313nam0 22003013i 450 001 RMS2572470 005 20231121125811.0 010 $a9788895101316 100 $a20130327d2012 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aita 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $aAntropologia e ricerca$epercorsi nella rappresentazione$f[a cura di] Giovanni De Vita$gscritti di Giovanni De Vita e Pamela Papetti 210 $aRoccasecca (FR)$cArte Stampa Editore$d2012 215 $a206 p.$cill.$d21 cm. 606 $aAntropologia$2FIR$3RMLC001428$9I 676 $a301$9Sociologia e antropologia.$v14 700 1$aDe Vita$b, Giovanni$f <1950- >$3RMSV467709$01440367 701 1$aPapetti$b, Pamela$3RMSV963300$01447104 801 3$aIT$bIT-01$c20130327 850 $aIT-FR0017 899 $aBiblioteca umanistica Giorgio Aprea$bFR0017 912 $aRMS2572470 950 0$aBiblioteca umanistica Giorgio Aprea$d 52MAG 8/1914$e 52DUS0000000345 VMN RS $fA $h20130327$i20130327$d 52MAG Scambio$e 52SBA0000153675 VMN RS $fA $h20130530$i20130530$d 52MAG Scambio$e 52SBA0000153685 VMN RS $fA $h20130530$i20130530 977 $a 52 996 $aAntropologia e ricerca$93635371 997 $aUNICAS
