About this title

From the Publisher:

The text of this book is based upon material contributed by certain past and present staff members of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson, Arizona. The expert assistance and willing participation of the following is gratefully acknowledged:

• Mark Demmitt, Ph.D., Curator of Botany
• Anna Domitrovic, Assistant Curator of Geology
• Merrit S. Keasey III, Former Curator of Small Animals
• Richard Felger, Ph.D., Former Staff Ecologist
• Inge Poglayen, Ph.D., Former Curator of Birds and Mammals
• David Thayer, Curator of Geology

Any endeavor in which the museum plays a part must necessarily bear the imprint of its founders, the late William H. Carr and the late Arthur N. Pack. This publication is therefore a tribute to these remarkable and talented men.
