Board Book. This book is an image and text essay on the American desert as a huge paradox. The awesome experience of its immensity and silence is just a mirage. Beneath that outward appearance, the sounds of all kinds of activities, experiments, mysteries, utopias, are hidden. The desert is also the setting of fictions, of oases of entertainment, consumerism and play, and also of the secret staging of military power. Serves as an essay, which contends that the American desert is a huge paradox. The awesome experience of its immensity and silence is just a mirage. Beneath that outward appearance the sounds of all kinds of activities, experiments, mysteries, utopias, are hidden. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Review
Looking at the intersection of nature and technology in America's driest, hottest, and most expansive states, this book explores the variety of strange ways people use this place of paradoxes. --John Hill, Archidose
The book manages to plot out quite nicely, the full spectrum of uses and facilities in the American desert. The large panoramic photos are generally of excellent quality. --Death by Architecture
