Description
Book SynopsisFeaturing four hundred beautiful colour photographs and a complete index of included species,
Mississippi’s Natural Heritage is the first book of its kind dedicated to Mississippi’s natural world.
Trade ReviewWesley 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
"An excellent addition to the growing literature about nature in Mississippi!" - Frank R. Hensley, professor of biology at Mississippi College
