Overview"Water plays different roles in the desert. It appears when we least expect it and hides when we want it most. Rain falls but never reaches the ground, and dry washes abruptly become rivers. One constant holds true: water enables life. In Desert Wetlands a distinguished photographer and a passionate naturalist document sites in the American Southwest and Mexico that are gauges to the environment. The wetlands included are Cuatro Cienegas Basin in Coahuila, Mexico, the San Pedro River in Arizona, the Escalante River in Utah, the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, the playas and wetlands in Arizona, the Mohave Desert in California, and the Big Bend National Park in Texas. ""Exploration of desert wetlands--whether on foot, with photographs, or in words--involves vacillating between tremendous, uplifting beauty and great, heartbreaking degradation. We offer the images and words in your hands that you might grasp the beauty more readily, and join the chorus of voices calling for an end to despoiling of these treasurelands.""--Thomas Lowe Fleischner in Desert Wetlands ""Mr. Niemeyer's photography . . . is utterly superb.""--Southern Living" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lucian NiemeyerPublisher: University of New Mexico Press Imprint: University of New Mexico Press Dimensions: Width: 30.50cm , Height: 1.40cm , Length: 23.00cm Weight: 0.998kg ISBN: 9780826332615ISBN 10: 0826332617 Pages: 148 Publication Date: 30 June 2005 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock  The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
