  This award-winning “gem” of a conservation classic tells the story of the land, wildlife, and ecology of East Texas (Quarterly Review of Biology).Winner of the Ottis Lock Endowment Award from the East Texas Historical Association; the Texas Literary Festival Award for Nonfiction from the Southwestern Booksellers Association & Dallas Times Herald; and the Annual Publication Award, Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society As hickory groves and fox squirrels began to vanish from the East Texas landscape in the second half of the twentieth century, two biologists who specialized in wildlife and endangered species began work on Land of Bears and Honey. Their purpose was not only to eulogize what was lost, but to encourage us to save what we still can. The result is an “elegant chronicle of the natural history of a once-rich area [that] will appeal strongly to birders, ecologists, to anyone who enjoys the outdoors” (Publishers Weekly).   “This deceptively slender volume is three things: a how-to-book, an aesthetic feast and a moral tale.” —Dallas Morning News   “To compare the style and content of this little book to that of the late Aldo Leopold is indeed high praise, yet the reviewer finds this comparison valid.” —Quarterly Review of Biology   “In Land of Bears and Honey, East Texans have their own regional Walden, written with keen historical perspectives, literary style, and deep respect for the land.” —East Texas Historical Journal   “This graceful blend of history, narrative and dialogue paints a noble portrait of one more disappearing chunk of Americana.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

  This book is the result of many Friday evenings during the football season when Chris Kamara, preparing himself for commentaries the following day, and Richard Digance met up for a few beers and long chats about the sport they love. Either at Richard's house in the south when Kammy was at Frattan Park or St Mary's the following day, or at Kammy's house in Wakefield where Richard would stop off en route to filming his numerous appearances on Channel 4's Countdown, they began piecing together the content for this book of football trivia.

  Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species (publ. 1859) is a pivotal work in scientific literature and arguably the pivotal work in evolutionary biology. The book’s full title is On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. It introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It was controversial because it contradicted religious beliefs which underlay the then current theories of biology. Darwin’s book was the culmination of evidence he had accumulated on the voyage of the Beagle in the 1830s and added to through continuing investigations and experiments since his return.
