In the first bilingual work on the reptiles and amphibians of the US–Mexico border, top herpetologists come together to describe the herpetofauna of the states of this region, which includes more than 600 species of toads, frogs, salamanders, turtles, sea turtles, alligators, lizards, snakes, and sea snakes that are found along the almost 2,000-mile border between the two countries. Each chapter is devoted to one state—four in the US (California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) and six in Mexico (Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas)—with text in both English and Spanish. The chapters contain an introduction to the area, a review of the research, a sketch of the state’s physiography, and a description of the species present as well as the pertinent conservation issues they face. A color photo gallery includes images of nearly all species. Almost 40 percent of the featured native species are shared between the US and Mexico, reminding us that animals depend on the integrity of natural landscapes and proving the need for a comprehensive, bilingual reference to help lead a shared effort in the management and conservation of the borderlands.
"Winner of the Xavier Villaurrutia Prize, Gray Skies Tomorrow is a superior telling of an age-old story, that of a young woman's first love. The story takes place in England, where her relationship with a fellow countryman and poet causes a painful rupture with traditional Mexican values. He is a mature man who has already found his own voice, while she is living with an intolerant aunt who will not explain the simplest word in the new language, which is also that of adulthood, requiring her to look everything up in the dictionary. As the need to escape the matrix of her past increases, conflicting directions present themselves in the form of a teacher who tries to win her away from the poet and through a friend of her aunt who offers refuge in her apartment. The safety of a mother's love is never more than a long distance call away, and yet the heroine knows instinctively that to rely on home at this juncture is to abdicate her future as a person. Meanwhile the clock is ticking, and the result is one which can only be attributed to indecision. The fact that the author reveals the outcome early in the novel only re-enforces our interest in the perilous psychological path by which the ending is achieved, at the same time cementing its legitimacy. To read Silvia Molina's Gray Skies Tomorrow is to hold the threads of human lives in our hands."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
