About this title

Synopsis

Essays discuss desert ecology, wilderness areas, and the relationship between people and nature

From the Inside Flap

Winner of the 1990 Western States Book Award for Creative Nonfiction, "The Telling Distance" evokes the yearning expanses of our southwestern deserts and finds them full of sensuous marvels, erratic life forms, eccentric fellow travelers, dry humor, and surprise. In prose that revels in paradox, it reveals desert distances to be doubly telling: they both magnify our spirit and have incomparable tales to tell.
