"This book brings together nearly every aspect of grassland
research in the American Southwest and is written to appeal to both
academics and the general public. It refutes conventional myths
about some causes of grassland change, tests hypotheses in
restoration ecology, and offers new perspectives on the recovery of
ecosystems free from livestock grazing. It is a book that every
naturalist or ecologist should read."--Conrad Bahre, author of "A
Legacy of Change"
"I expected another nature book. What I found was, to my
surprise, a love story. Carl and Jane Bock visited the Research
Ranch in the early 1970s and fell in love--with the Sonoita Plains,
the plants and animals there, and the people who called it home.
Like all good love stories, this one is full of passion and joy,
excitement and disappointment, and sadness and humor. . . . With
their successful blend of storytelling and scientific reporting,
the Bocks share the most intimate details of their love affair and
make the reader curious to learn more about this little-known
land."--H. Ronald Pulliam, Institute of Ecology, University of
Georgia
"Jane and Carl Bock write precisely as well as lovingly of the
dynamics of the distinctive grasslands near the U.S./Mexico border
in Arizona. They also bring 25 years of first-rate science to bear
on their topic. Their seasoned view of ecological and perceptual
changes in this community are unique and will go a long way toward
healing and restoring the remaining fragments of this biome in
southeastern Arizona."--Gary Paul Nabhan, author of "Cultures of
Habitat
