The Texas Landscape Project: Nature and People, is a newly published environmental history atlas for the state. The book presents more than 40 chapters on land, water, energy, wildlife, air quality, and the built world. It provides an accessible, highly visual approach to understanding the conservation challenges of our time, with discussions on a wide range of topics including hunting preserves and public parks, dams and aquifers, wind farms and coal plants, lead emissions and tobacco laws, billboards and sprawl.

This work was created by David Todd and Jonathan Ogren, and is based on data from more than 170 agencies, universities, non-profits, and individual researchers. 

David Todd is a long time supporter of the Lone Star Chapter Sierra Club.

Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and founder of 350.org, had this to say:

Texans are lucky, this remarkable volume demonstrates just the kind of insight we need on landscapes the world around. Anyone who cares about the Lone Star state, and who wouldn't, given its beauty and history, will revel in the level of detail and of deep thinking!
