The Texas Landscape Project explores conservation and ecologyin Texas through an extensively researched atlas of the vastlandscape.
In five major parts―Land, Water, Air, Energy, and the BuiltWorld―readers encounter the changes made by growingpopulations and industrial and agricultural development in thestate. Special wildlife sections highlight the histories of iconicfauna like the American bison and the monarch butterfly.
As a follow-up to the Texas Legacy Project, this volume provideshistorical context and contemporary data for the environmentalissues that have affected Texas places: the impact of grazing ondwindling prairie grasses, the increasing reach of light pollution,and the health concerns raised by lead smelting in El Paso. Butthese are also stories of hope, as author David Todd recountsrecent successful efforts to preserve Texas’ landscape and naturalresources.
Navigate the Neches River valley, the Gulf of Mexico reefs, andthe colonias of the US–Mexico border with Todd’s detailed yetreadable text. The more than 280 color maps, specially created bycartographer Jonathan Ogren, and over 100 photographs, supportthe clear, accessible narrative and the book’s educational merit.
An engaging read for any environmentalist or conscientiouscitizen, The Texas Landscape Project provides a true sense ofthe grand scope of the Lone Star State and its broad array ofenvironments.
