Böcker av Betty Jean Craige

Parrot Sanctuary is the story of kidnapping, parrot trafficking, cocaine trafficking, and murder-and the rescue of the wild-caught parrots transported in burlap sacks, crates, and tiny cages from Honduras through Mexico to north Georgia.In the course of events the reader meets Scarlet macaws, Hyacinth macaws, Blue and Gold macaws, an Indigo macaw, and a Yellow-headed amazon, all highly intelligent, all in need of sanctuary at Zoo Arroyo.

Examines a fundamental shift in contemporary Western thought: the replacement of the dualistic and hierarchical model of reality by a holistic one. Craige traces the emergence of this paradigm to Darwin, whose evolutionary theory opened the way for a more egalitarian vision of human society.

A biography of Eugene Odum. Betty Jean Craige depicts the intellectual growth, creativity and vision of the scientist who made the ecosystem concept central to his discipline and translated the principles of ecosystem ecology into lessons in preserving the natural environment.
