Andrew (“Andy”) J. Schiro passed away on 14 April 2007 at age 36, after a
courageous and lengthy battle with sarcoma (a form of cancer). Andy was
involved in a number of organizations involved with marine mammals including
Texas A&M University’s Marine Mammal Research Program, Texas Marine Mammal
Stranding Network, and the American Cetacean Society. It is the wish of Andy’s
parents, that his science library be available as a first-choice to his
colleagues, and that the money go to the John R. Twiss, Jr. fund at the Society
to provide grants for innovative research related to marine mammal habitat and
ecosystem conservation.
Dr. Tom Jefferson and I are responsible for the book sale. It is our sincere
belief that Andy would have been proud to have made such a contribution to the
Society and that his books will be enjoyed by others, as much as he enjoyed
them himself. The sale itself will be handled in a similar fashion to the
procedure used for the sale of Dr. John Heyning's books. One major change is
that we will only be shipping to USA addresses (apologies in advance to anyone
disappointed by this piece of information).
The book list is posted at the Society for Marine Mammalogy website (follow the

questions that are unanswered after reading thru the information associated
with the book list at the website, feel free to contact me directly at: [EMAIL
