Horn Of Darkness: Rhinos On The Edge
by: Cunningham, Carol & Berger, Joel
Where perhaps 100,000 of the shy, lumbering creatures existed at the beginning
of the 20th century, there may be only 2,500 today. Tracing the natural
history of the rhino, Cunningham and Berger offer a firsthand account
of the way these creatures live in the wild. They also look searchingly
into the prospects for the rhinos' preservation, which is enjoying mixed
success in places like Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Zambia. To stop the slaughter,
the authors write, intensive international efforts--and funding--are needed.
It presents a powerful argument for why such efforts should be made, and
immediately. B/W photos. 272 pgs.

Man & Wildlife
by: Guggisberg, C.A.W.
For thousand of years man has had a great affinity with his fellow animals.
Eventually man's dependence on animals decreased, yet animals were still
killed for meat, fur, feathers, ivory - just for fun. Guggisberg, a distinguished
zoologist and world authority on conservation, has drawn a dramatic picture
of man's relationship with the animal world. He shows that neither the
funds or the facilities yet exist to save the animals. The book also lists
all the more important national parks & reserves throughout the world.
Illustrations, drawings, B/W photos, color photos, and maps. 224 pgs.
