Table of ContentsReviewsBooks as well written, well researched, and nicely photographed as this one are a rare commodity in the expanding literary genre of Western natural history. What Stephen Trimble and the University of Nevada Press have combined to produce here is a single package that fits well in all these categories. Dan Flores, Department of History, University of Montana, Missoula "The Sagebrush Ocean is one beauty of a book, a triumph of regional literature of the kind we need, to relate more closely to his land of ours."""" —Harold Gilliam, The San Francisco Chronicle “This seemingly harsh, but actually beautiful—and fragile—landscape cannot even be seen, much less appreciated, at seventy miles per hour. You have to dismount your Ford and investigate it on foot. If you cannot do so, Trimble’s survey is the next best thing. His writing style is first-person informal (almost conversational), but informed.” —Richard Dillon, True West “Books as well written, well researched, and nicely photographed as this one are a rare commodity in the expanding literary genre of Western natural history.
