Described as 'a writer in the tradition of Henry David Thoreau,
John Muir, and other self-educated seers' by the "San Francisco
Chronicle", David Rains Wallace turns his attention in this new
book to another distinctive corner of California - its desert, the
driest and hottest environment in North America. Drawing from his
frequent forays to Death Valley, Red Rock Canyon, Kelso Dunes, and
other locales, Wallace illuminates the desert's intriguing flora
and fauna as he explores a controversial, unresolved scientific
debate about the origin and evolution of its unusual ecosystems.
Eminent scientists and scholars appear throughout these pages,
including maverick paleobiologist Daniel Axelrod, botanist Ledyard
Stebbins, and naturalists Edmund Jaeger and Joseph Wood Krutch.
Weaving together ecology, geology, natural history, and mythology
in his characteristically eloquent voice, Wallace reveals that
there is more to this starkly beautiful landscape than meets the
eye.
