The Texas Legacy Project: Stories of Courage and Conservation

(Texas A&M University Press) This book is a compilation of 62 excerpts of oral histories from conservationists around Texas. The people interviewed range from a West Texas grocer fighting nuclear waste to an Austin lobbyist pressing for green energy. They recount the battles they fought for land, wildlife, public health, and for a voice in media and politics. The accompanying website (texaslegacy.org) provides the full interviews, transcripts, and maps that show environmental changes in Texas over time. Todd is an environmental attorney who is the founder, coordinator, and interviewer for the Conservation History Association of Texas.
