Book Description
Morgan's Tahoe is a memoir of his time with the U.S. Forest Service at Lake Tahoe and, later, of his experiences as Executive Director of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) during one of the most tumultuous times in that Agency's existence. During this time, his unit of the Forest Service was engaged in programs not carried out on any other National Forest, from buying thousands of acres of forested land to buying twenty acres upon which a huge casino was being constructed, from building a 165 mile trail around the rim of the lake basin to adapting three historic estates on the shores of the lake to a major tourist attraction, he explains it all. From ski resorts to a Boy Scout camp, from summer homes to lakeside resorts, the range of activities conducted on National Forest lands at Tahoe is amazing and one can learn about them in this book. It has been said that Morgan's role during that time was key to the survival of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. That agency was created by a compact entered into in 1969 by California and Nevada, the two states within which Lake Tahoe is located. First as the Forest Supervisor and later as the Executive Director, his ideas resolved many of the long standing issues at Tahoe and lead eventually to a spirit of cooperation among the various interest groups that survives to this day. Salted among the pages of this book are tales of arson, plane crashes, a fatal ski lift accident, a trans-sierra highway. and other stories. Everyone who is interested in the Lake Tahoe Basin should have this book in his/her library.

Book Description
Mammals in the genus Martes are mid-sized carnivores of great importance to forest ecosystems. This book, the successor to Martens, Sables, and Fishers: Biology and Conservation, provides a scientific basis for management and conservation efforts designed to maintain or enhance the populations and habitats of Martes species throughout the world. The twenty synthesis chapters contained in this book bring together the perspectives and expertise of sixty-three scientists from twelve countries, and are organized by the five key themes of evolution and biogeography, population biology and management, habitat ecology and management, research techniques, and conservation. Recent developments in research technologies such as modeling and genetics, biological knowledge about pathogens and parasites, and concerns about the potential effects of global warming on the distribution and status of Martes populations make new syntheses of these areas especially timely. The volume provides an overview of what is known while clarifying initiatives for future research and conservation priorities, and will be of interest to mammalogists, resource managers, applied ecologists, and conservation biologists.
