As a new resident, I had lots of questions about such a strange and beautiful land. Everywhere I turned for answers, I was pointed toward this book. So I bought it.

A wonderful book about this beautiful part of the country

This is a great book for anyone that wants to learn about this desert and the plants and animals that live in it.

I've lived in this region for over 25 years and I learned quite a bit by reading this book.
