" An easy-to-use guide to transforming your yard into an oasis for urban wildlife. Which birdseed attracts the most species of birds? What type of feeder is best to use? How do you deter squirrels? Barnes answers all these questions and more. He includes a plant encyclopedia of trees and shrubs native to the Upper South that attract a variety of birds, butterflies, and mammals. Barnes's plans and plant lists can also be used to create a woodland, a prairie, or a water garden. Also included are tips for birdwatchers of all levels and suggestions for deterring common garden pests.

" With over 100 glorious full-color photographs and insightful text, Kentucky's Last Great Places highlights the incredible natural beauty found in the Commonwealth's old-growth forests, prairies, wetlands, and other distinctive biological habitats. Many types―more than 3,000 vascular plants, 230 fish, 105 amphibians and reptiles, 350 birds, 75 mammals, and 12,000 insects―make Kentucky their home. Many of these species and their habitats are considered rare, threatened, or endangered. Overall, less than one percent of Kentucky is classified ecologically as being in a "pre-European" condition that deserves significant protection. Award-winning photographer and author Thomas G. Barnes combines his striking photographs with essays describing the splendor found in more than forty of Kentucky's diverse natural preserves or ecological areas, including the old-growth Blanton Forest near Pine Mountain in Harlan County, Axe Lake Swamp in Ballard County near the Mississippi River, Red River Gorge, the Kentucky River Palisades, Mammoth Cave, and many others. This spectacular oversized book explores the biodiversity of Kentucky, the challenges to protecting its biological heritage, and the ways that organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, Kentucky Nature Preserves Commission, the National Park Service, and others are continuing to protect the state's unique biological legacy. Thomas G. Barnes, an associate extension professor of forestry at the University of Kentucky, is the author of Gardening for the Birds.

Kentucky's rich soil and wonderfully diverse landscapes have for centuries made the state a welcoming habitat for a dazzling variety of wildflowers. From the delicate Kentucky glade cress to the fiery royal catchfly, flowers, grasses, and sedges nestle on rocky hillsides, bask in open woodlands and prairies, and even manage to thrive in busy rights of way and roadsides. As demand for natural resources and land for development and housing in the Commonwealth grows, land use and habitats are quickly changing. Unfortunately, this translates into disappearing or degraded habitats for a host of remarkable wildflowers. Currently 255 plant species in Kentucky are considered endangered or threatened, and there are more than 50 potential additions to the list. Rare Wildflowers of Kentucky provides an introduction to Kentucky's signature rare plants with 220 gorgeous full-color photographs by Thomas G. Barnes, a naturalist and award-winning photographer. These rare wildflowers and their descriptions are organized by habitat, and the book draws attention to the enduring beauty of Kentucky's old-growth forests, prairies, wetlands, and other habitats. In addition to serving as a stunning photographic record of Kentucky's rare plants, the book examines ecological communities and the ways in which they are threatened. The authors also explain how various plants have become endangered over the decades and suggest concrete steps for conservation and preservation at both the government and private level. The book also includes references, a list of scientific and common species names, and a list of each plant's endangered status that is especially useful to gardeners, botanists, and horticultural professionals. Rare Wildflowers of Kentucky is both a celebration and a call to action to save the plants that are a vital part of Kentucky's natural heritage.

Lawes and Libertyes of Massachusets Edited with an Introduction by Thomas G. Barnes This facsimile edition is reproduced from the Huntington Library's unique 1648 copy of the first printed book of laws in the history of our country. Although it has obvious interest and value for any student of law or of colonial history, the subject matter of many of its statutes will give the lay-man a revealing glimpse of everyday life in colonial America. The laws range from matters as modern as highway construction and maintenance, and the administration of "Harvard Colledge in the County of Midlesex," to a regulation giving drovers permission to rest and refresh their cattle "if they be weak and hungry, or sick and lame," in any open space that is not "inclosed for some particular use." Another law standardizes the quality and dimensions of pipe staves and provides penalties for shipping any staves that have not been inspected and approved. Six hundred copies of the Lawes and Libertyes were printed, but so far as is known the only copy still extant is at the Huntington Library. The where-abouts of even this remaining copy remained a mystery for many years until, after intensive search, it was discovered in a small library in Rye, England, in 1906. It was then acquired by E. Dwight Church and came to the Huntington with the rest of the Church Collection in 1911. As Mr. Barnes explains in his introduction, the Lawes and Libertyes was the result of three years' continuous involvement by the General Court of Massachusetts, which, in turn, was based on over a decade of labor by "committees for the laws." He has provided a detailed table indicating the sources of the laws and including the early codification of law, the "Body of Liberties" of 1641. The book is a remarkable document, one that had direct influence on printed law in other English colonies in America. It is an important milestone in America's legal history.
