A stirring tribute to the unique beauty of theAmerican Southwest  In the region stretching from the High Sierras south of Yosemite to the Mojave Desert, water is scarce and empty riverbeds hint at a lush landscape that has long since vanished. But the desert is far from lifeless. For those who know where to look, the âland of little rainâ is awash in wonders.  In this exquisite meditation on the people, flora, and fauna of the American desert, Mary Austin introduces readers to the secret treasures of the landscape she loved above all others. Her lyrical essays profoundly influenced the work of nature writers and conservationists, among them Edward Abbey and Terry Tempest Williams, and have inspired generations of readers to visit some of the countryâs most stunning national parks, including Death Valley and Joshua Tree.  This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.  |
