Ecology for all ages.......2006-11-06
As with many of the books that I read, I picked up Those of the Forest on my travels, this time through the great north woods. The book is now over 50 years old, but it has a freshness that is so encouraging, especially in light of the politicization of issues surrounding the environment.
Grange tells the story of the forest from within. The voices are those of the inhabitants of the forest. He tends toward anthropomorphism, but is also very careful to remind us that we can only guess at what the animals and plant life is experiencing. Through Grange's eyes, a world that surrounds us is exposed, because it is a world that we don't stop and investigate often enough. We are exposed to the intricacies of nature and the interdependence of all of us on each other. This is a very spiritual message which opens eyes to the miracles of creation.
The prose is very clear and is appropriate for anyone from high school up. This would be an excellent introduction to ecology for younger readers and help them to have a greater appreciation for the world that surrounds us.
For Who Shall Explain the Intricacies of Nature.......2005-03-15
Huddled within a "sheltered cavern beneath the evergreens" is Snowshoe, a timid rabbit whose small world is analyzed by the thoughtful and intrinsic authority of Wallace Byron Grange. Sometime before 1930, by the age of twenty-two, our author became the first Superintendent of Game for the Conservation Commission of the State of Wisconsin. To quote the back-flap of my edition: "[Grange] became engaged in the business of live-trapping and shipping to New York State thousands of snowshoe rabbits for restocking purpose. It was in this way he...gained the experience upon which this book is based" (Abercrombie & Fitch, 1967).
Perhaps his snowshoe experience was derived from live-trapping, but an obvious fair amount of time must have been spent in the wilderness, submerged in nature, noting every minute aspect of dozens of animal and flora species, as well as studying the soil, erosion, wind and water, and weather, and the interrelated balance of life and death: the fundamental basics of ecology and biology. In short, Grange was a genius with nature. It is perhaps a shame he gave us only one book, but he departed the world leaving the state of Wisconsin a 9470-acre wildlife haven, among other accomplishments.
The book opens on a dreary night, one filled with wind and snow and darkness. Enough to drive any animal into the recesses of underbrush for shelter, huddled for warmth. Should we feel sorry for these creatures of the winter? As Grange exposes the world to us, he is possibly provoking that instinctual human reaction: sympathetic sorrow. One quickly learns to disregard these feelings and allow Grange to re-introduce us to a world that can, and does, take care of itself.
There are no humans in this book. The dreaded "hunt" does not come from modern weaponry. It comes from the root of life: survival. There is no intellectual within this story. Snowshoe et al. do not band together and fight the ever-evil wolves and hawks. The rabbit is a rabbit. And Grange goes about describing what the rabbit knows as a simple thought process, one so realistic, the reader will begin to understand the rabbit for who he is, and who he isn't. At one point, Grange brings up a curiosity regarding the brain:
Lepus [a rabbit], as a mammal, has the power of motion; memory; sight; hearing-and he has a brain. But where is the brain of the jackpine or of the pitcher plant? How shall it be that plants, apparently not possessed of any central nervous system, nevertheless grow, have species identity, sex, inheritance, habit, preference; that they compete with one another; struggle, have natural enemies...and the will to live? (161)
The book begins in winter, and takes us through the four seasons. Grange shows us the interrelatedness of weather patterns, migration patterns of species (those that pass through the rabbits' little world), and how each creature manages to survive one moment to the next. Grange's style (as seen in the above paragraph) comprises of reflective questions, posed to bring the reader to an awareness of certain natural elements he may have never thought of before. Simply, why are things the way they are? The author will often delve into the surprisingly scientific route to answer some of these questions.
Grange also fills Those of the Forest with page-long glances at different critters or plant-life or even components of the weather. One of my personal favorites concerns the firefly:
Now, in the darkness of each night, it is almost as though a million stars scatter luminous fragments of themselves to float and drift elusively...For who shall explain the firefly? Has a beetle the need for a lantern?...Is the strange light of the small creature an aid to mating? Then why do some firefly larvae-and even eggs-also glow? (129)
In this poetic book, you will find, and learn about, elements regarding the hawk, the grouse, the snow, the rain, the birch, the jackpine..."[t]hose of the forest-its living things, its rocks, its chemicals, its sky, its untold billions of stars in the firmament; all its materials, processes and laws..." (164).
And while the first 3/4 of the book is a look at Snowshoe, his life, his family of rabbits, and the natural world around them, the last 1/4 of the book takes a fantastic turn. The subject is temporarily replaced by Ancient Rabbit who takes the reader on a journey spanning 500 million years. Grange will show you the rabbits' world as it is carved by glaciers and Ice Ages, the struggle of many different forests, the geologic history, the introduction of life, forest fires, and rabbits, leading up literally to Snowshoe's world.
As Georgius Agricola's De Re Metallica is essential reading for the contemporary miner, so is this book, Those of the Forest, essential reading for the contemporary soul. Let Grange's words embody your spirit and love for nature. Those of the Forest is one of the most beautiful books ever written.

Product Description
This is a story for everyone who loves trees, flowers, and little creatures that live in forests. It is also for those who exercise the "willing suspension of disbelief" and can imagine that fairies really exist in the woods; and lastly, it is for all who have faith in the ultimate goodness in each of us.

THOSE OF THE FOREST
GRANGE

Binding: Hardcover

Is there a genetic reason that African-Americans dominate professional sports? Even raising the question seems tantamount to heresy. Jon Entine not only raises the question, he strives to answer it in Taboo: Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We're Afraid to Talk About It.
Entine is no stranger to controversy, having worked with Tom Brokaw on the award-winning NBC News documentary Black Athletes: Fact and Fiction in 1989. He's also willing to ask tough questions--and come up with answers that anger people on all sides of the issue. Entine starts off with some statistics indicating that African-American athletes are disproportionately represented in professional sports: for example, 13 percent of the U.S. population is black, but the NFL is 65 percent black, the NBA is nearly 80 percent black, and the WNBA is 70 percent black. He also examines cultural issues, laying to rest the long-held idea that blacks excel in sports because it is the only avenue open for advancement.
Some scholars cry foul at the idea that blacks are physically gifted, seeing this as a subtle way of saying that they are therefore intellectually stunted. Entine carefully argues that historically athletic ability and intellectual prowess were linked--with a positive bias. The "dumb jock" stereotype is a relatively recent construct--perhaps a defensive mechanism that arose when blacks began to participate on a level playing field and gain prominence in the sporting world. There's no reason to suppose athleticism and intelligence are inversely related; Entine quotes respected sports reporter Frank Deford: "[W]hen Jack Nicklaus sinks a 30-foot putt, nobody thinks his IQ goes down." The issue of physical superiority is further complicated by fears that a genetic explanation results in a belief that blacks don't succeed because of hard work, dedication, and drive, but rather (in the words of Brooks Johnson, who doesn't believe Entine's claims) "because God just gave 'em the right gene."
Is the fear of sounding racist hindering legitimate scientific inquiry? Entine believes so, noting that, "Anyone who attempts to breach this taboo to study or even discuss what might be behind the growing performance gap between black and white athletes must be prepared to run a gauntlet of public scorn, survival not guaranteed." Taboo is destined to make most of its readers uncomfortable. Hopefully this discomfort will serve as a wedge to open up discussion of an issue too long avoided. --Sunny Delaney
Book Description
Now in paperback, the book that jump-started a debate that shows no sign of ending. "Could well be the most intellectually demanding sports book ever written." -Washington Post Award-winning journalist Jon Entine's Taboo: Why Black Atheletes Dominate Sports and why We're Afraid t Talk About It created enormous controversy when PublicAffairs released it in hardcover in the fall of 1999. Rarely does a book so highly lauded by critics also elicit letters to the editor so passionately praising or damning the author for even daring to raise a subject. Drawing on the latest scientific research, and addressing all the major sports of North America, Entine persuasively shows why biology and ancestry are significant components of the stunning ascension of black athletes. He offers a gripping history of blacks in sports and a fascinating examination of the circumstances that have made addressing the facts so difficult and controversial. Artfully, and carefully, combining science, sports history, and sociology, Taboo has already proven to be one of the most controversial and illuminating books in recent memory. Paperback edition includes new Afterword by author.

Pretty thin soup.......2006-11-26
And I might be a little generous with the second star.
I, as a few other reviewers, note two problems off the top of the bat.
One is Entine's uncritical handling of "The Bell Curve."
Two is that he ignores the many sports that don't have a lot of black athletes.
Beyond that, he gets selective within some sports that he does address, such as seeming to focus on track more, and field events less.
Also, he ignored the rise of non-American white and non-black athletes in several sports in recent years.
I think of the white Europeans in the NBA, and the non-black Caribbean players and a few Japanese in MLB.
Finally, contrary to his claims otherwise, all too many children of all colors who are lower down the socioeconomic rungs tend to focus on sports as salvation. Unfortunately, more of these children are minorities.
Surprisingly short on substance.......2005-07-17
There is some interesting information here, but ultimately much of this book is simply a history of African-American athletics, which is not exactly obvious from the book's title. Hey, I'm as interested in the story of Jack Johnson as the next guy, but does the treatment he received really belong in this book? Given that the book weighs in at 400 pages, you've got to wonder what his editor was thinking about some of these anecdotes.
On another note, I'm tired of seeing Tiger Woods be referred to as a "black golfer." For the record, Tiger is 1/2 Asian, 1/4 black, 1/8 white and 1/8 Native American. Why does his black ancestry somehow trump the other 75% of his heritage?
Misleading title, doesn't even address the topic.......2005-04-22
After hearing the controversy surrounding this book, I decided to shell out twenty bucks and pick up a copy myself. As a social scientist with a strong interest in racial inequality and identity, and especially as a major sports fan, I figured that this would be a rather intriguing book. It certainly is, but in a different way than which the author/publisher market it.
Entine provides very little evidence and data to explain to us "why black athletes dominate sports." Mostly, he gives us a collection of statistics on the number of black players at the so-called speed positions in various sports (providing a numerical relationship, but no explanation). Quite disappointing - With such an adamant title, I was expecting the author to give us the concrete, infallible scientific proof explaining "why black athletes dominate sports," but I guess my expectations were too high.
Entine has a point up to a certain extent. Body form is, in fact, a major factor in calculating competitive advantage in certain sports. For example, a 5'3" man can forget about playing center in the NBA, just as a seven-footer has no shot at being the winning jockey at the Belmont Stakes. But to assume body form to some innate, hard-wired, racial sports gene is absurd and ultimately undermines the valid points that Entine does bring up.
I half think that Entine chose such a title for this book for the sensational reaction he knew it would garner. Sports consists of much more than speed and running, and clearly, black athletes do not dominate in sports such as weight lifting, skiing, field, wrestling, gymnastics, or hockey. By the title of this books, blacks rule the entire world of sports - which is not the case.
Something else also comes to mind. I find it quite amazing how people are always quick to point out that the high proportion of African-Americans in the NBA is scientific proof that blacks are genetically gifted basketball players. However, those folks must remain oblivious to the fact that after the United States, the basketball powerhouse nations are found in Eastern Europe...NOT western Africa! If African-Americans' ancestry to equatorial west Africa was responsible for their basketball abilities, then we should expect to find the nations of Nigeria, Ghana, and Zaire winning international basketball medals over the likes of Lithuania, Germany, Russia, Croatia, and Serbia. The fact of the matter is that growing numbers of NBA players are comming out of the former communist bloc of Europe. In 20 years, I believe the NBA will be 50 percent European. Even sports reporter Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star has bemoaned the fact that African-American players are "losing their jobs" to foreign players.
Also, Entine attributes the pheonomenal success of Brazil in World Cup Soccer to the African ancestry of most players on the national roster. This is quite ironic, since Germany, Italy, and Argentina are also soccer powerhouses and have accomplished this with few African-descent players on their respective clubs. England, Colombia, and Mexico each have far superior soccer squads than any national teams from West Africa (the area of the world where the nature's most gifted athletes trace their ancestry, according to Entine). And if any sport ever relied on speed, quickness, explosiveness and agility, certainly it is soccer.
I bring up these points to illustrate the absurdity and inconsistencies in attributing innate racial abilities of any particular group of people with regards to any particular sport. If African-descended players dominate basketball and baseball for their superior speed and agility, then why does this fail to yield results in soccer? "Racial realists" can not have their cake and eat it to.
Despite the failure to produce scientific evidence for black athletic superiority, I do like this book for one big reason. Entine provides an excellent account of the history of racism and racial politics of sports, from the days of Jack Johnson and the Negro Leagues of baseball up until the steroid scandals of communist East Germany and the USSR in the 1980s. We are given chapters on Joe Louis, Jewish basketball teams, Jackie Robinson, and the social significance of all of these historical events.
The real value of this book is found in its second half, when the author provides a nice account of race in sports throughout the 20th century. The fact of the matter is the right-wing lunatics have no ability to engage in scientific debate on race whatsoever. Their only recourse is to point out correlations, and assume there is a biological explanation. Such is not the nature of science, but the nature of charlatans motivated by personal agendas. Entine's lack of scientific evidence proves he can not discuss this subject matter, and as such, makes a bold claim and then sits back, labeling anyone who challenges him as a politically correct crackpot. The truth is, Entine and his backers are the ones motivated by political agendas.
Talk about false advertising. The book implies it will provide a scientific explanation for athletic performance, and does not even come close to doing anything of the sort.
Thoughtful book.......2004-08-16
I picked this book up because I run marathons and have become aware of the Kenyan domination of this event. What an eye-opener this book is! Jon Entine has very carefully explained how evolution has shaped different body types. I finally understand population genetics. He doesn't preach and "Taboo" doesn't ignore the cultural impact on sports accomplishments. In fact, if you have little interest in genetics, this book is a gem for understanding the history and travails of the African American athlete in the United States. I was also fascinated by his history of sports in the former Communist East Germany, which built its success on pumping its young women athletes full with performance enhancing durgs. This book is truly indispensible for anyone interested in a balanced look at the range of factors that contribute to the success of athletes. Anyone who suggests this book is "racist" just hasn't read it. It's the opposite -- a thoughtful discussion of why discussing human differences doesn't mean you have to resort to the lowest common denominator. And now I understand why Kenyans and other Eastern and Northern Africans are so dominant in endurance races.
Brave and important writing.......2004-08-07
Although it's not often discussed, among those who pay attention the wildly disproportionate success of black people in major sports is a reality so obvious it's just taken for granted these days. I've been watching the NFL religiously since I was about 11, and in that time I haven't seen a single successful white running back, and even the number of black quarterbacks is increasing as the game gets faster. Here in Massachusetts, nobody even wonders what country the Boston Marathon winner will come from, just which Kenyan will finish first. And of course, whites in the NBA are virtually nonexistent, except as backup centers. As its subtitle suggests, "Taboo" poses two central questions. First, why are black athletes so overrepresented in the above sports, and several others for that matter? Is it biology or culture? And why can't we have a reasoned discussion of the facts without accusations of "racism" being tossed around?
Fortunately, Jon Entine is committed to providing a comprehensive treatment of race differences and sports, and this book covers its subject with an approach that combines anthropology, sports history, and a bit of sociology to boot. Entine represents the full spectrum of opinion on this issue, giving racial demagogues on both sides enough rope to hang themselves before getting down to the facts. It's not until late in the book, in the chapter "Winning the Genetic Lottery," that Entine really gets into the genetic differences that give blacks an advantage over their peers in certain sports. As he notes, anyone has to put in a lot of work to become a star athlete, but "all the hard work in the world will go for naught if the roulette wheel of genetics doesn't land on your number." And Entine sites all sorts of evidence that that roulette wheel has landed in Africa more than in other places: sleeker musculatures; faster patellar tendon reflexes; higher levels of plasma testosterone; higher percentages of fast-twitch fibers; and in the case of East Africans, most notably Kenyans, much higher levels of running economy.
The book's case for why black athletes dominate sports, or at least many of the more popular ones, is certainly compelling. Of course, the book's second proposition, why we're afraid to talk about said dominance, is a bit trickier. In an effort to get to the bottom of the issue, Entine provides an exhaustive discussion of American sport's racial history and the obstacles that blacks have had to overcome over the past century or so. Around the turn of the century, as Entine shows, black access to sports, and everything else for that matter, was restricted by the common belief among whites that blacks were inferior morally (ummm, probably not), mentally (the jury's still out on that one), and physically (whoops!). Detailing the struggles of legendary black athletes from Jack Johson to Jesse Owens to Joe Louis, Entine writes that while the ultimate success of blacks in sports did manage to shatter the myth of white physical superiority, blacks wound up saddled with a new stereotype: their athletic success was merely a sign that blacks were a more primitive type of human than everyone else, with more brawn and less brains.
Of course, as Entine puts it, intelligence is "the elephant in the living room" when it comes to talking about race in sports, as black athletic success has led to the stereotype that IQ and athletic ability must be inversely proportional. As the book ultimately concludes, that's why there's so much reluctance to talk about this subject. After the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust, there was suddenly a rush to emphasize the shared humanity of all peoples, and this universalist ethic has ruled mainstream science to this day. Since studies of race differences have been used by people like Hitler to justify so much hateful nonsense, the current orthodoxy goes, it's better to just ignore the evidence of differing capacities even when it's staring us right in the face. Of course, just because racists have often distorted race science for their own nefarious ends doesn't mean it's all invalid. After all, failure to acknowledge reality is itself a prejudice whether it's well-intentioned or not, and nobody benefits when the elites try to prevent an objective analysis of the facts.
Although it can get a bit too politically correct at times, "Taboo" is still largely a candid and thorough analysis of a divisive and compelling topic. Entine's writing sytle is extremely straightforward for such complex subject matter, making the often tricky science of genetics, evolution, and society accessible to just about anyone who's interested. For sports fans it ranks right up there with Michael Lewis's brilliant "Moneyball" in the pantheon of thinking man's sports books. And for those who are just interested in controversial subjects, this book is still worth reading.
