Rövid leírás:
In this book The Nature Conservancy has pulled together the best available database on the biodiversity of the United States. Drawing upon the records of the 50 State Heritage Programs and the Nature Conservancy's offical synthesis of their own data and research on the status of biodiversity within the US, the book is a summary and analysis of the status of biodiversity in the US, aimed at the general reader and professionals as well. The Nature Conservancy is tha largest non-profit association dedicated to the environment with over 800,000 members, and has not previously published a book with this wide a range. They hope that this book will consistute a major part of their public image and contribution to the problem of threatened biodiversity.

From the lush forests of Appalachia to the frozen tundra of Alaska, and from the tallgrass prairies of the Midwest to the subtropical rainforests of Hawaii, the United States harbors a remarkable array of ecosystems. These ecosystems in turn sustain an exceptional variety of plant and animal life. For species such as salamanders and freshwater turtles, the United States ranks as the global center of diversity. Among the nation's other unique biological features are California's coast redwoods, the world's tallest trees, and Nevada's Devils Hole pupfish, which survives in a single ten-by-seventy-foot desert pool, the smallest range of any vertebrate animal.
Precious Heritage draws together for the first time a quarter century of information on U.S. biodiversity developed by natural heritage programs from across the country. This richly illustrated volume not only documents those aspects of U.S. biodiversity that are particularly noteworthy, but also considers how our species and ecosystems are faring, what is threatening them, and what is needed to protect the nation's remaining natural inheritance. Above all, Precious Heritage is a celebration of the extraordinary biological diversity of the United States.
"In Precious Heritage some of the leading experts on the subject present the most comprehensive and accessible account of the state of the American biota to date. They invite us to turn inward, not by abandoning global conservation but by conserving our own fauna and flora in a manner that will set a shining example for the rest of the world." --from the Foreword by Edward O. Wilson
