A truly unique work, the author dedicates each chapter to a specific organism that has adapted to life in the American southwest desert. Both scientific and enchanted, the author is quick to revel in the wonder brought from the implications of facts learned. He goes beyond the mere physicality of it all, and speculates well on implications, meaning, and wisdom gained. A heavy case for the love of nature, and I can't believe it was written over sixty years ago. A truly timeless work.
