Remaining silent about the destruction of nature is an endorsement of that destruction.

While most people wouldn't give a crap about this.  For me it is too exciting not to share.  I finially got my review copy of The Illusrated Flora of East Texas Vol 1 I have been waiting years for this book to get printed.  Of course it is only the first of what will probably run into three volumes.  And they run about $100 a piece.  Luckily I have botanists that love me and they sent me one for free.  The first volume covers monocots, ferns and gymnosperms and runs about 1,600 pages.
