From the preface: "The Far West is a region of intimidation. The potential for destruction both tempers and unnerves...those who live there. The Oakland-Berkley Hills firestorm came within a half mile of my house... Weather is inseparable from the landscape it affects. There are landscapes of destruction, of earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes and blizzards; and interior landscapes, the climate of closed spaces, the weather of dreams, memory and the imagination."
Review
"Stablein has applied her whimsical Western euye to the mustical East...conveying much droll irony in that juxtaposition of viewpints." -- Quarterly West
"[Stablein] brings a fresh, appreciative eye to a set of national images...her ironic stance provides a novel experience." -- Publisher's Weekly
