Reviews
An excellent addition to the growing literature about nature in Mississippi!--Frank R. Hensley, professor of biology at Mississippi College Wesley Shoop's knowledge of native Mississippi taxa is immense, rivaled only by his skill with a camera. It has been a joy to watch his photographic collection of our state's flora and fauna grow, and I'm sure this publication will be a tremendous aid to both the professional and amateur naturalist alike.--Chris King, education chair and former president of the Jackson, Mississippi Audubon Society Through outstanding photographs and field guide-like narratives, Mississippi's Natural Heritage shines a spotlight on the biota of LeFleur's Bluff State Park, a beautiful, well-known urban natural area and wildlife corridor in Mississippi's state capital. This book will surely foster a greater awareness of and appreciation for the diversity of plant and animal life in Mississippi.--Libby Hartfield, director emerita of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
