| | | "A bewildering amount of biological and environmental lore has accumulated about our deserts. Bruce Pavlik''s highly readable, beautifully illustrated book is a salutary antidote to confusion. It brings together the best current knowledge in a comprehensive form that makes a compelling story as well as a handy reference. Nobody who cares about California''s deserts should be without it."--David Rains Wallace, author of "Neptune''s Ark," "Beasts of Eden," and "The Klamath Knot"
"I''ve been waiting for a book like this, one that captures the very essence of the desert rather than simply cataloging and describing it. Bruce Pavlik is a consummate integrator and storyteller. He makes this ''rediscovery'' of the desert as exciting as its initial discovery, proving that you can discover something only once, but you can rediscover it again and again."--Jeff Lovich, Deputy Director, U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center
