This is probably due to the book’s origin as a conference on “Why Nature Matters to New Yorkers”, held in 2005 at the City University of New York. But, the essays are too varied in tone and content, and in some cases lack the depth necessary to achieve this level of intellectual influence.

There were dozens and dozens of these papers given at conferences until finally someone made a rule against them. This allowed the Blumenschine crew to carry out experiments that involved every possible series of events, using animals of different sizes. Photo by Mikebaird.

In addition to talking to leading researchers and his own background, Weidensaul has drawn from approximately 230 scientific journal articles, conference proceedings, government reports, BNA bird profiles, and popular newspaper and magazine articles for this book. So much to think about, so many connections to make, so much DATA.

Animal Ethics

JANUARY 20, 2007

By focusing our human attitudes on animals, we are playing at God, standing always apart from and above our victims, smiling down on their innocent ways, removed from the possibility of judgment ourselves, and, in our exaltation, imagining that we confer the greatest benefit on those whom we patronize.

I was attending the 3rd Global Bird-watching Conference in Gujarat and suddenly surrounded not just be species that were completely new, but entire families of birds. Second, I was in India, which, had you told me even one month prior that I’d be going to India, I would have said you were crazy.

The story of the flightless Dodo, discovered on the island of Mauritius in 1598 and killed off by 1700, is sad and familiar. Do you include objects related to ornithology–published taxonomies and proceedings or a conference program from an ornithological organization, and if so, which one? I’m not sure what to make of this.
