Book Description
Along the San Marcos River, in and surrounding Palmetto State Park in south central Texas, lie two square miles of relict ecosystem named the Ottine Wetlands. This area of swamps, marshes, and ponds is especially notable for its geographic isolation from other wetlands in southeastern Texas and for its fascinating intermixture of eastern North American plants and animals and western flora and fauna. The scientific importance of the Ottine Wetlands in the surrounding, relatively dry region was first recognized as early as 1928, yet the swamps and marshes have not been thoroughly studied. This is the first examination of the invertebrates--insects, crustaceans, molluscs, and others--that depend directly or indirectly on the abundant moisture of the wetlands. With nearly 290 full-color illustrations, this book describes and illustrates 241 species of flies, beetles, grasshoppers, wasps, ants, bugs, spiders, scorpions, snails, crustaceans, and millipedes that inhabit the Ottine waters, wetlands, and woodlands. In a brief introduction the authors describe the geological formation of the region and discuss the plant life of the area. They also provide a description of Palmetto State Park, with its easily accessed hiking and nature trails. Following the species descriptions, the book concludes with a glossary and a thorough bibliography of other relevant works on invertebrates. Scientifically thorough, yet readable, this book will appeal to nature lovers of all kinds.

Book Description
Wetland Plants of Texas is a comprehensive field guide to over 1,300 vascular plant species found in the wetlands of Texas—plants of swamps, marshes, bogs, wet meadows and low prairie—plus the aquatic plants found in the state's lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and coastal areas. Based on the significant 1972 publication Aquatic and Wetland Plants of Southwestern United States by Donovan and Helen Correll,Volume One covers nearly 600 species of Ferns and Fern Allies, Gymnosperms and Monocots.Volume Two treats over 700 species of Dicots. Each volume is thoroughly revised and updated to reflect current nomenclature and distribution patterns in Texas. Also included are the wetland indicator status indicator ratings of the 2012 National Wetland Plant List, used in wetland delineation studies nationwide. Contents of Volume Two• Complete coverage of the dicots found in the wetlands of Texas.• Over 700 plant species in 88 plant families; each species described, including habitat and range information. • County distribution map provided for each species.• Wetland indicator status ratings for each Texas region: Arid West, Great Plains, Atlantic and Gulf Coast Plains • Identification of plants of conservation concern (endangered, endemic). • Keys to each plant family, genus and species.• Extensive glossary and complete index.• Numerous illustrations.

Book Description
This classroom resource provides clear, concise scientific information in an understandable and enjoyable way about water and aquatic life. Spanning the hydrologic cycle from rain to watersheds, aquifers to springs, rivers to estuaries, ample illustrations promote understanding of important concepts and clarify major ideas. Aquatic science is covered comprehensively, with relevant principles of chemistry, physics, geology, geography, ecology, and biology included throughout the text. Emphasizing water sustainability and conservation, the book tells us what we can do personally to conserve for the future and presents job and volunteer opportunities in the hope that some students will pursue careers in aquatic science. Texas Aquatic Science, originally developed as part of a multi-faceted education project for middle and high school students, can also be used at the college level for non-science majors, in the home-school environment, and by anyone who educates kids about nature and water.
