Water plays different roles in the desert. It appears when we least
expect it and hides when we want it most. Rain falls but never
reaches the ground, and dry washes abruptly become rivers. One
constant holds true: water enables life. In Desert Wetlands a
distinguished photographer and a passionate naturalist document
sites in the American Southwest and Mexico that are gauges to the
environment. The wetlands included are Cuatro Cienegas Basin in
Coahuila, Mexico, the San Pedro River in Arizona, the Escalante
River in Utah, the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in
New Mexico, the playas and wetlands in Arizona, the Mohave Desert
in California, and the Big Bend National Park in Texas.
"Exploration of desert wetlands--whether on foot, with photographs,
or in words--involves vacillating between tremendous, uplifting
beauty and great, heartbreaking degradation. We offer the images
and words in your hands that you might grasp the beauty more
readily, and join the chorus of voices calling for an end to
despoiling of these treasurelands."--Thomas Lowe Fleischner in
Desert Wetlands "Mr. Niemeyer's photography . . . is utterly
superb."--Southern Living
