Status of Pollinators in North America
Category General
Product Description
Pollinators – insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers for plant reproduction – are an essential part of natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops and some crops that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel depend on animals for pollination.This book provides evidence for the decline of some pollinator species in North America, including America’s most important managed pollinator, the honeybee, as well as some butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds.

The Contest in America
Category General
Product Description
The cloud which for the space of a month hung gloomily over the civilized world, black with far worse evils than those of simple war, has passed from over our heads without bursting. The fear has not been realized, that the only two first-rate Powers who are also free nations would take to tearing each other in pieces, both the one and the other in a bad and odious cause. For while, on the American side, the war would have been one of reckless persistency in wrong, on ours it would have been a war in alliance with, and, to practical purposes, in defence and propagation of, slavery. We had, indeed, been wronged. We had suffered an indignity, and something more than an indignity, which, not to have resented, woul… More >>

While much has been written about contemporary American Islam and pioneering studies have appeared on Muslim slaves in the antebellum period, comparatively little is known about Islam in Victorian America.
