Book Description
In 1941 author MacNeal undertook to explore the western edge of outcrop of the Woodbine, which runs northeast to southwest through the eastern central part of Denton County, Texas. Here the Dexter sand member, a near-shore, largely non-marine deposit, was laid down before the transgressing Late Cretaceous sea had pushed the shore line to the northeastward to lay down the higher marine Lewisville beds. Not far within the western margin of the Woodbine belt, in the vicinity of the county seat, Denton, MacNeal found plant-bearing beds in four localities, & collected fossiliferous surface material in two other localities. He also found limited material in two localities outside Denton County, although no extended exploration was made. 36 plates.

Book Description
A modern approach to understanding the evolution and diversification of land plants, one of the most exciting areas of plant systematics. It consists of three sections - origin and diversification of primitive land plants; origin and diversification of angiosperms; speciation and mechanisms of diversification - each section corresponding to a major area in plant evolution. In each case, data from molecular, morphological, and paleontological approaches are presented, backed by recent progress and new findings, together with proposals for future research. A guide to the latest in plant systematics, heightening awareness of prospective future problems.

Book Description
“A thoughtful, thorough, and updated account of this bio-region” from the author of From Sail to Steam: Four Centuries of Texas Maritime History, 1500-1900 (Great Plains Research). Winner, Friends of the Dallas Public Library Award, Texas Institute of Letters, 2001 A complex mosaic of post oak and blackjack oak forests interspersed with prairies, the Cross Timbers cover large portions of southeastern Kansas, eastern Oklahoma, and north central Texas. Home to indigenous peoples over several thousand years, the Cross Timbers were considered a barrier to westward expansion in the nineteenth century, until roads and railroads opened up the region to farmers, ranchers, coal miners, and modern city developers, all of whom changed its character in far-reaching ways. This landmark book describes the natural environment of the Cross Timbers and interprets the role that people have played in transforming the region. Richard Francaviglia opens with a natural history that discusses the region’s geography, geology, vegetation, and climate. He then traces the interaction of people and the landscape, from the earliest indigenous inhabitants and European explorers to the developers and residents of today’s ever-expanding cities and suburbs. Many historical and contemporary maps and photographs illustrate the text. “This is the most important, original, and comprehensive regional study yet to appear of the amazing Cross Timbers region in North America . . . It will likely be the standard benchmark survey of the region for quite some time.” —John Miller Morris, Assistant Professor of Geography, University of Texas at San Antonio

Book Description
This expedition to study the aquatic life in certain sections of rivers that are part of the Peruvian headwaters of the Amazon was funded by the Catherwood Fdn., & the Amer. Philosophical Soc. The purpose of this expedition was to compare the pattern of aquatic life in rivers in the tropical zone with the pattern of aquatic life in rivers in the temperate zone in eastern & southern U.S. Contents: Introduction, by Ruth Patrick; Limnological Observations & Discussion of Results, by Ruth Patrick; Chemical, Physical, & Bacterial Characteristics, by Yvonne H. Swabey; & Systematic Studies: Essays by John Cairns, Jr., Frederick A. Aldrich, Selwyn S. Roback, Paul J. Spangler, Francis Drouet, H. Skuja, L.A. Whitford, & Matthew H. Hohn. Illustrations.
