About this Item

Special deluxe edition hardcover (only 150 numbered copies printed) featuring red cloth boards with gilt decorations and spine titles, signed by both Burger and illustrator Johnson Charley on colophon page. Alas, lacking the slipcase. Shelfwear to rear board edge, and slight stain on front board. Still, this hardcover is fresh, crisp, and nice: gift quality.

About this title

Synopsis

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

Reviews

Many of these essays have appeared in various publications, not all of them nature-oriented, and are thus quite diverse. The introduction, even if one accepts the description of deserts as emptiness, is too obscure to tempt the reader. The essays themselves, however, combine to form an eccentric volume of philosophical musings and observations about the desert, camping, and living. The overall effect leaves one rather bemused and wondering what it was all about. Given that the manuscript for this book won the 1990 Western States Book Award for Creative Nonfiction, however, there may be some demand for it.
