Synopsis
The Great Basin: one of the very few places left on earth that has remained a true wilderness. Primitive fish - long believed extinct - swim in its lakes, and entirely new species of insects and plants are found among its mountains and deserts. It is a place of uncharted expanses, dominating horizons, and sagebrush oceans; a plaintive landscape at once austere and rich in its vibrancy and diversity. Stretching from the Great Salt Lake to Tahoe, from Oregon to Mexico, the expanse is a tremendous but overlooked sweep of the rugged American landscape.
The Great Basin is both an important environment and a stunning subject in the hands of master photographer Claude Fiddler. Fiddler portrays this immense wilderness with his characteristic gift of composition and light through fifty color photographs. Here for the first time is a study of the full breadth of the region, taking you deep into the heart of a lost national treasure.
With a historical and social overview by Steve Roper, a foreword by John Hart, and an afterword by Michael Cohen, A Vast and Ancient Wilderness is an important book that records forever one of the last vestiges of the natural West.
