SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES AND HISTORICAL PRODUCTIONS
Under the SPECIALIZED BIBLIOGRAPIES AND HISTORICAL WORKS tab will be found two subtabs:
SPECIAL BIOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES
These are separate bibliographies for specific groups of biological taxa, as they relate chiefly to the Grand Canyon region.
OTHER SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES AND HISTORICAL VOLUMES
These relate to non-biological bibliographies and historical perspectives of the Grand Canyon and Lower Colorado River regions.
The website and all files available on it (mostly as searchable PDFs) are best viewed on wide screens. Many of the publications are designed in book format to accommodate opposing-page layouts. Wide screens and opposing-page layouts are, however, not mandatory for the use of these volumes. File sizes and number of pages are noted on the download buttons.
The principal language of this website and its products is English
