In the far southeastern part of the state, the succulent Leedy's roseroot clings to cold cliffs. On the northwestern grasslands, the western prairie fringed orchid grows only on ancient glacial beach ridges. In the rivers of the Twin Cities metro area, the snuffbox mussel snaps on a fish's nose to give its larvae a temporary home. These species and fifteen others living in Minnesota are on the federal Endangered Species List.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAdam Regn Arvidson, a talented science reporter and genial guide, uncovers the stories of these plants and animals, providing compelling views of the state's northern pine forest, deciduous forest, and prairie landscapes. Readers learn how beach driving in Texas affects Minnesota's northernmost bird; how ranchers feel about prairie minnows; how urban runoff affects rivers and therefore mussels; how the wolf ended up in court. Scientists, orchid-hounds, lawyers, and nature lovers weigh in on the value and benefit of rare species-and their right to exist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is an entertaining and educational journey through Minnesota's diverse landscapes, one wild and rare inhabitant at a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Historical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681340876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Adam Regn Arvidson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36665543557276,"sku":"9781681340876","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4f8a1bc2-9a82-4184-a80f-20fae064cc97.jpg?v=1603909782","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wild-and-rare-tracking-endangered-species-in-the-upper-midwest-9781681340876","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
