One hundred fifty years ago, Texas was very different. A rural
population was spread thinly across the eastern and central parts
of the state, and vast lands in the western regions were still
undisturbed. Texas's habitats and biota changed dramatically as its
population increased and people spread across the landscape. In
Texas Natural History: A Century of Change (2002), David Schmidly
chronicled the changes that occurred during the twentieth century.
In this second edition, Schmidly is joined by colleagues Robert and
Lisa Bradley of Texas Tech University to extend that story over the
first two decades of the twenty-first century. The focus of Texas
Natural History in the 21st Century continues to be on the
mammalian fauna of the state, and it includes a reprinting of
Vernon Bailey's 1905 "The Biological Survey of Texas" with new
annotations and updates. In the rest of the book, the authors
discuss changes in landscapes, land use, and the status of Texas
mammals in the last hundred years. The authors present current
challenges to conserving the natural history of Texas and suggest
long-term solutions to those challenges, including actions focused
on both private and public lands. As Texas approaches the daunting
challenge of conserving its wildlife, Texas Natural History in the
21st Century serves as a rallying cry for addressing the scenarios
imperiling Texas's natural history in our present day and in the
future.
