| lubbock science museum: The Mammals of Texas David J. Schmidly, Robert D. Bradley, 2016-08-09 From reviews of previous editions: “This is the standard reference about Texas mammals.” —Wildlife Activist “A must for anyone seriously interested in the wildlife of Texas.” —Texas Outdoor Writers Association News “[This book] easily fills the role of both a field guide and a desk reference, and is written in a style that appeals to the professional biologist and amateur naturalist alike. . . . [It] should prove useful to anyone with an interest in the mammal fauna of Texas or the southern Great Plains.” —Prairie Naturalist The Mammals of Texas has been the standard reference since the first edition was coauthored by William B. Davis and Walter P. Taylor in 1947. Revised several times over the succeeding decades, it remains the most authoritative source of information on the mammalian wildlife of Texas, with physical descriptions and life histories for 202 species, abundant photographs and drawings, and distribution maps. In this new edition, David J. Schmidly is joined by one of the most active researchers on Texas mammals, Robert D. Bradley, to provide a thorough update of the taxonomy, distribution, and natural history of all species of wild mammals that inhabit Texas today. Using the most recent advances in molecular biology and in wildlife ecology and management, the authors include the most current information about the scientific nomenclature, taxonomy, and identification of species, while also covering significant advances in natural history and conservation. |

| lubbock science museum: Living Mirrors Jack Stephens, 2003 Not far beneath the surface of the sea wait the world's last unexplored wild places. On the sun-drenched crests of tropical coral reefs and in the dim uncharted waters just below them live the most biologically productive and diverse communities on our planet. No ecosystem is more varied and beautiful. And none is in more danger of perishing in our lifetimes. Rushing to the aid of these robust-yet-fragile natural treasures are adventurous men and women eager to face the challenge of discovering, recording, and preserving these imperiled ecosystems and the intresting creatures that call them home. Living Mirrors: A Coral Reef Adventure introduces us to Howard and Michele Hall, the husband-wife underwater cinematography team who have joined forces with biologists, conservationists and filmmakers to bring the rest of us the most intimate look at coral reefs and the lands, seas and peoples around them, we may ever get. Living Mirrors is the companion volume to MacGillivray Freeman Film's documentary feature Coral Reef Adventure, filmed exclusively for IMAX theatres and large format cinemas. A richly illustrated exploration of corals and the worlds they create, Living Mirrors reveals the secrets of the reef and reflects them above the waterline where we might appreciate the wider implications of a realm vital to the balance of the rest of our world and worthy of our efforts to preserve it now and for generations to come.

| lubbock science museum: Wizard at Work Emily Rhoads Johnson, 2011-02 Who builds these contraptions? What kind of kid was he? Where do his ideas come from? If you've ever watched the madcap antics of colorful balls rolling, bouncing, leaping, and whirling through George Rhoads' audiokinetic sculptures, you may have wondered who invents these spellbinding contraptions. In this book you will discover how Rhoads, who dreamed of becoming a successful painter, also became a renowned creator of public art whose sculptures can be seen in airports, shopping malls, science museums, and hospitals throughout the world. Shattering the notion that machines are built only for work, Rhoads designs machines that do nothing but play. Written by Rhoads' youngest sister, the book contains personal glimpses of the artist's growing-up years in Evanston, Illinois, his struggles as an aspiring painter, his acclaim as an origami expert, and his unexpected success as a sculptor-first, of fountains, then of the whimsical yet elegant ball machines that fascinate and delight viewers of all ages. Emily Rhoads Johnson is a writer, editor, and teacher living in Ithaca, New York. She is the author of three young adult novels: Spring and the Shadow Man, A House Full of Strangers, and Write Me If You Dare. |

| lubbock science museum: North American Watersnakes J. Whitfield Gibbons, Michael E. Dorcas, 2004 Many people fear snakes, and watersnakes in particular have one of the worst reputations of any snake found in North America. Some species are commonly mistaken for venomous cottonmouths, and a few may eat popular game fishes. Unfortunately, few people realize the important roles many watersnakes play in natural ecosystems and, consequently, they are still persecuted in many regions today. Seeking to overcome common misperceptions, J. Whitfield Gibbons and Michael E. Dorcas have compiled North American Watersnakes, the first comprehensive study of all fourteen species of watersnakes found in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Cuba. Individual species accounts explore all aspects of the natural history of watersnakes in North America, including their behavior, physiology, life history, ecology, and conservation. Almost 100 color photographs accompany the text, illustrating all 14 species and nearly all subspecies. Supplementing the species accounts are detailed color maps depicting each species distribution and stunning black-and-white drawings by Peri Mason. Easy-to-use keys help readers to identify specimens at hand. |
