Amazing photography, first-person anecdotes, and tons of factual information on the animals, plants, climate and landscape come together to give a complete picture of the ecosystem in action.

And of course rattlesnakes This gorgeous book is a feast for both the eyes and mind.
Charles Bowden was for three years a reporter for the Tucson Citizen, an afternoon daily newspaper. His stories covered everything from murder to copper strikes to interviews with Santa Claus and politicians. He became acquainted with the scientific floor of desert understanding and the political tumult of desert development while a researcher at the Office of Arid Lands Studies at the University of Arizona. He now lives in Tucson as a freelance writer, a pastime he describes as practically a free ticket to the asylum. Nevertheless, he is author of Killing the Hidden Waters, Street Signs Chicago: Neighborhood and Other Illusions of Big-City Life with Lewis Kreinberg, and Frog Mountain Blues (with photographs by Jack W. Dykinga).
