Texas Quails
Nothing is more evocative of the Texas outdoors than the whistled call of the bobwhite. While the familiar two-note greeting is now just a memory for most of us who live in the state’s growing urban sprawl, this bird is an economic commodity on par with crops and livestock in some regions of Texas. Three other native species of quail also inhabit Texas. Like the northern bobwhite, the scaled quail is significant as a game bird. The other two species, Gambel’s quail and Montezuma quail, are found in limited areas of southwestern Texas and represent an important indicator of forest, rangeland, and habitat conditions. Texas Quails presents the first complete assessment of the four species of quail found in this vast state. Experts describe each of them and examine all geographic regions of the state for historical and current population trends, habitat status, and research needs. These experts also discuss management practices, hunting issues, economics, and diseases. With the recent creation of the Texas Quail Conservation Initiative, this volume provides a timely and comprehensive view of quail science and stewardship.
In Chambers

In Chambers offers a variety of perspectives on the unique experience of Supreme Court clerks. Former law clerks—including Alan M. Dershowitz, Charles A. Reich, and J. H...
Quantitative Analyses in Wildlife Science
An authoritative guide to quantitative methods that will help wildlife scientists improve analysis and decision-making.

This practical book aims to help students and professionals alike understand how to use quantitative methods to inform their work in the field. Covering the most widely used contemporary approaches to the analysis of wildlife populations and habitats, Quantitati...
Justice Brennan
When he was named to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1956, he likened himself to a mule entered in the Kentucky Derby. But by the time he retired 34 years later, William Brennan was regarded as the seminal justice of the second half of the 20th century. Now the coauthor of the acclaimed biography of Justice Thurgood Marshall tells Brennan's story. 16 pages of photographs.
