  • Aquatic Fauna in Peril: The Southeastern Perspective edited by George W. Benz and David E. Collins.
    The southeastern United States is generally considered North America's center of biodiversity. This authoritative hardbound book focuses on the Southeast's imperiled aquatic fauna with 17 chapters written by many of the region's foremost experts. It provides historical perspectives of the major faunal groups found in the region, detailing what is known about the processes, which have resulted in the extirpation of valuable native species. It also addresses resource management as it has been and might be applied to conserve and restore the Southeast's rich natural heritage. 1997, 554 pages.

  • A Stakeholder's Guide to the Conasauga River of Georgia and Tennessee by Byron J. Freeman, George W. Benz, and David E. Collins.
    This river guide was prepared through a unique partnership of the Southeast Aquatic Research Institute, the Tennessee Aquarium, The University of Georgia, The Nature Conservancy, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Because of its unique wildlife, the Conasauga River has been chosen by The Nature Conservancy and the USFWS for a large-scale restoration effort. This colorful guide covers specific problems currently affecting water quality within the Conasauga's watershed, and it details how public and private partnerships are working to improve the River's water quality. 1996, 15 pages.
