Walker and Landau's book on the Mojave Desert is not merely a lovely addition to the natural history of arid lands of North America; it is also a breakthrough of sorts, given that it is more comprehensive and integrative than any single work we now have for the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, or Great Basin Deserts. You'll wish you were along hiking, camping, and nature-watching with these well-trod desert rats. This soon-to-be classic is a delight."""" - Gary Paul Nabhan   """"A grand introduction to North America's smallest desert, suitable for newbies and desert rats alike. I'll take it with me on every Mojave Desert trip in the future."""" - Janice Emily Bowers
