Abstract

Mosquitoes, Communities, and Public Health in Texas focuses on the 87 species of mosquitoes found in Texas and discusses more broadly how the state deals with them. The book provides a comprehensive review of the ecology, medical and veterinary importance, and biological diversity of Texas' mosquitoes that reflects principles applicable throughout North America. In addition, it provides detailed identification keys for both larval and adult stages of all mosquito genera and species known to occur in Texas, and a review of surveillance and control strategies. Expansion of the range of potentially invasive mosquitoes is an important topic in the book, as climate change and increased transportation have already resulted in dramatic impact of vectors and arboviruses in the Western Hemisphere--

Abstract

"Art Martínez de Vara's Tejano Patriot: The Revolutionary Life of Jose Francisco Ruiz, 1783-1840 is the first full-length biography of this important figure in Texas history. Best known as one of two Texas-born signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence, Ruiz's significance extends far beyond that single event. Born in San Antonio de Bexar to an upwardly mobile family, during the war for Mexican Independence Ruiz underwent a dramatic transformation from a conservative royalist to one of the staunchest liberals of his era. Steeped in the Spanish American liberal tradition, his revolutionary activity included participating in three uprisings, suppressing two others, and enduring extreme personal sacrifice for the liberal republican cause. He was widely respected as an intermediary between Tejanos and American Indians, especially the Comanches. As a diplomat, he negotiated nearly a dozen peace treaties for Spain, Mexico, and the Republic of Texas, and he traveled to the imperial court of Mexico as an agent of the Comanches to secure peace on the northern frontier. When Anglo settlers came by the thousands to Texas after 1820, he continued to be a cultural intermediary, forging a friendship with Stephen F. Austin, but he always put the interests of Bexar and his fellow Tejanos first. Ruiz had a notable career as a military leader, diplomat, revolutionary, educator, attorney, arms dealer, author, ethnographer, politician, Indian agent, Texas Ranger, city attorney, and Texas Senator. He was a central figure in the saga that shaped Texas from a remote borderland on New Spain's northern frontier to an independent republic"--

Abstract

"This work focuses on O'Keeffe's words rather than her images. Von Lintel aims to allow the artist's voice to 'emerge as a powerful witness of her own life, but also of western America in a pivotal moment of its development.' The result is an important new examination of one of our most important artists during a time when she was in the process of discovering her future identity"--
