Paperback. Zustand: New. This anthology features forty talented writers from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and other surrounding states that represent a unique part of American culture. While this region is often misunderstood as one type of place, the Mid-South belongs to a little bit of everywhere: part Southwest, part Midwest, part South-always wild. Our area of the country is both a space of its own and part of a larger, complicated Southern world: the "Mid/South." In this collection, poetry, short stories, and essays offer glimpses into this in-between place as they explore the complexities of our relationships to each other as well as to the natural world. Whether through vivid landscapes, family dramas, or bittersweet love stories, each piece brings more insight into what it means to be from around here.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 167 pp., illustrations, maps, bibliography. In English and Spanish. The Mirador Basin, in northern Guatemala, is one of the last great areas of primary tropical forests in Central America. Aside from its tremendous wealth of biodiversity, it also contains many ancient Maya ruins and cities, including what may be the largest pyramids by volume in the world. This book documents, in English and Spanish, the insects, arachnids and myriapods of this rainforest, a formidable task considering the great diversity of arthropods. The research was conducted as part of the multidisciplinary approach to understanding the environmental context of the origins of Maya civilization, beginning many centuries B.C. Brief essays describing the principal insect orders are included. It contains beautiful photos taken during years of expeditions to the area, including new species of moths of the families Mimalonidae and Bombycidae and even a salamander previously unknown from Guatemala. Notably, there are also essays and photos about the Mirador Basin (archaeology), useful plants of the Basin, forest types and photos of amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and plants. The book can be appreciated by any lover of nature as well as professional entomologists who want an understanding of the insect fauna of the area.…
