1.The Desert Smells Like Rain: A Naturalist in O odham CountryThe Desert Smells Like Rain: A Naturalist in O'odham Country
from University of Arizona Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
My wife and I found it interesting how the Tohono O'odham used rainfall alone to successfully subsist in the desert. We were also fascinated with the knowledge and use of herbs to maintain their physical well-being and to ward off disease. We found some of the folk tales amusing. Having lived in the... more info

2.Going Back to BisbeeGoing Back to Bisbee
from University of Arizona Press
Price: $13.46

Customer Review:
GOING BACK TO BISBEE is essentially a memoir augmented by plenty of history, both natural and human. It won an award in 1992 for "creative nonfiction" and I can understand why. The conceit of the book, which is taken up by the title, is a drive by the author Richard Shelton from his current hometown... more info

3.The Way Out: A True Story of Ruin and SurvivalThe Way Out: A True Story of Ruin and Survival
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
The Way Out is a book you'll want to read over and over again. It's just too powerful to fully absorb in one reading. As with "The Secret Knowledge of Water", Mr. Childs leads you into the very psyche of Living Land. He bears his soul and humbles himself before a chasm of rock. An absolute master of... more info

4.Soul of NowhereSoul of Nowhere
from Back Bay Books
Price: $17.09

Customer Review:
I read this book with a highlighter pen, marking passages about the places, and comments about humans relating to their inner soul and to nature. I found it deeply personal and, therefore, may not be everyone's "cup of tea". The writing at times was amazing and then just good.
This is a... more info

Customer Review:
A wonderful tome by Janice Emily Bowers. These essays combine gardening, ecology and self reflection with a wonderful use of vocabulary. Thoroughly enjoyable; definitely not a one-read book!

8.The Jepson Desert Manual: Vascular Plants of Southeastern CaliforniaThe Jepson Desert Manual: Vascular Plants of Southeastern California
from University of California Press
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:
This book is the most complete book I've come across in terms of covering all the plants which I may encounter in the California deserts. I have eight desert plant books in all and I look at this one as the ultimate authority when it comes to identifying a plant. It's not the most easy book to use,... more info

from University of Arizona Press
Price: $75.00

Customer Review:
Just comparing photos taken decades apart, these authors lay bare the extent of transformation in Arizona's countryside over the past century. The cool-weather plants retreat northward and up the hillsides. The desert plants move in like a tide from Mexico. It's a merger of good science with... more info
