Hello all, We would like to announce the completion of a new book on streams. It is called Pocketguide to Eastern Streams by T. Travis and Shanda Brown. It is an introductory guide to the many types of streams we have in the eastern U.S. and the plants and animals that can be found in and along them. The guide is perfect for educators, naturalists, anglers, stream restoration practitioners, natural resource managers, and anyone else who spends a good deal of time near streams. This would be an excellent supplement for field biology and stream ecology courses.
Amazon does a pretty good job of describing the book: Product Description * Species accounts and photos for 225 plants, trees, insects, mollusks, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds commonly found in and around streams * Covers both aquatic organisms and those that live on streambanks * Distinguishing characteristics, habitat information, and range map provided for each species * For nature-lovers, hikers, anglers, naturalists, and wildlife professionals * Includes information on restoring and preserving threatened or damaged stream ecosystems, all in a handy pocketsize format The guide is now available for shipment from several websites, and will be in various book stores. If your local store doesn't have it already they should be able to order it for you.
