- Abstract
"Rescuing the Planet" by T. Hiss is a thought-provoking book that explores the concept of setting aside half the Earth for nature and wilderness. While it primarily focuses on inspiring stories in the Americas, the book serves as a source of hope and inspiration for those concerned about the environment. However, it has a limited international perspective and often gets distracted from its central idea. "The Living Planet" by N. Maclean aims to synthesize knowledge about the general status of the world's living beings, but its listing by taxonomic order and uneven illustrations detract from its potential impact. "Red Leviathan" by R. T. Jones tells the story of the Soviet contribution to whaling and its impact on whale populations, providing insight into the Soviet system and modern whale conservation. "Ocean Bestiary" by R. J. King is an eclectic collection of short tales about marine animals, sourced from various oceanic and coastal places, and is organized alphabetically. "Mnemonic Ecologies" by S. K. Pieck examines the interlacing between humans and the places they inhabit, focusing on the inter-German border and the Green Belt conservation project. "The Lion" by C. Packer provides a comprehensive understanding of lions, covering their behavior, ecology, and conservation, with beautiful photographs and graphs supporting the information.
