Not Only the Beautiful Ones

Sure, everybody is concerned about the endangered status of whooping cranes, ocelots, and bald eagles -- and so is Linda Campbell. But her book --Endangered and Threatened Animals of Texas -- deals with many more species than those high-profile ones with which the public has already become familiar. Toads, bats, snakes, even cave-dwelling spiders are every bit as important to the great web of life as are their more celebrated fellow creatures; and Linda Campbell is quick to point this out. Her book, in addition to its beautiful photography and well-researched zoological data, contains workable management plans for the conservation of ALL of the Lone Star State's threatened species -- even the less cuddly ones. Anyone who truly wants to know what animals are in danger, and what they can do to help preserve them, should read this book.
