This comprehensive field guide, revised and enlarged in a new edition, describes the area's archaeology and history, and details the characteristics and habitats of Big Bend's trees and shrubs, wildflowers, cacti, mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. It also outlines walking and driving tours of the most likely spots for sighting these plants and animals. An extensive bibliography is included.
