Synopsis
In this collection of thought-provoking essays, ecologist Alcock explores the complex relationship between the desert and its human inhabitants. Citing such examples as the abuse of land by livestock and the reintroduction of the masked bobwhite quail, he chronicles not only the changes wrought on the desert by people, but also the ability of the desert to recover and rejuvenate if given the chance.

Review
"Closely observed, delicate vignettes on Arizona's desert spaces. . . . In prose as quiet and spare as his subject, Alcock summons some extraordinarily evocative desert imagery. . . . The desert comes alive here as a glorious and enriching place. Show it some respect, Alcock advises, and it will pay you back in unimaginable ways."--Kirkus Reviews "The essays can be amusing, but they are never supercilious, and welcome as amusement is in this era of ecological sanctimoniousness, Alcock subordinates humor to a curiosity informed by scientific tough-mindedness that empowers readers to respond reciprocally."--Booklist
