The Classic of Southwest Mammalology

This book is a classic reference -- it's been around for a long time, and will probably continue to be around for quite some time to come. I all but slept with it under my pillow during my college days, and now, decades later, I still frequently refer to it. Every subspecies of every wild mammal found in the Lone Star State, from mice to buffalo, is covered here in painstaking detail: feeding and breeding habits, distribution (including maps), population status, very good photographs, and relationship to human society (game animal, crop pest, etc.) is all here. Due to the size and geographic location of Texas, the animals covered in this book range over many habitats from desert to woodlands to subtropical seas -- making it a useful reference tool for zoological study in almost any area of the United States.
