Since Roy Bedicheks influential Adventures with a Texas Naturalist, no book has attempted to explore the uniqueness of Texas nature, or reflected the changes in the human landscape that have accelerated since Bedicheks time. Pride of Place updates Bedicheks discussion by acknowledging the increased urbanization and the loss of wildspace in todays state. It joins other recent collections of regional nature writing while demonstrating what makes Texas uniquely diverse.These fourteen essays are held together by the story of Texas pride, the sense that from West Texas to the Coastal Plains, we and the landscape are important and worthy of pride, if not downright bravado. This book addresses all the major regions of Texas. Beginning with Roy Bedicheks essay Still Water, it includes Carol Cullar and Barbara Barney Nelson on the Rio Grande region of West Texas, John Gravess evocative Kindred Spirits on Central Texas, Joe Nick Patoskis celebration of Hill Country springs, Pete Gunter on the Piney Woods, David Taylor on North Texas, Gary Clark and Gerald Thurmond on the Coastal Plains, Ray Gonzales and Marian Haddad on El Paso, Stephen Harrigan and Wyman Meinzer on West Texas, and Naomi Shihab Nye on urban San Antonio.This anthology will appeal not only to those interested in regional history, natural history, and the environmental issues Texans face, but also to all who say gladly, I'm from Texas.
