A Field Guide to Desert Holes
This book definitely fits the category as a field guide and one of the better ones I’ve seen. It covers subjects rarely talked about but that extremely valuable.
Desert Ecology
I found this book to be fascinating and one that I truly recommend to anybody exploring the desert southwest. In some ways, it is similar to book The Secret Knowledge of Water.
The Voice of the Coyote
The Voice of the Coyote is not simply a book on coyotes; it is, in essence, a trip to the past. It was written from and to a culture that is no longer common, so one must keep in mind that its author and audience was not intended to be our modern urban culture.
The Desert Bighorn - Its Life History, Ecology and Management
This is a book I wish I would have known about when I first began exploring the desert on my own. It covers every aspect of desert bighorn sheep survival and management that I can think of.
The Bighorn of Death Valley
This book is often referred to as “Welles and Welles” in normal conversation as well as in scientific literature.
The Secret Knowledge of Water
This book has been read and enjoyed by a wide variety and for good reason; the author delves into such issues as history of the environmental movement and natural history while doing so in an artistic and sometimes poetic and even spiritual manner which is often the hallmark of somebody who spent
Ecological Consequences of Artificial Night Lighting
This book definitely comes with a message and it is one that I generally agree with; however, you'll find that such books generally don't make my list of recommended reading. But this book covers the subject that is rarely talked about and yet is very important.
American Indian Food and Lore
I found this to be a valuable and unique book. It is much more than just a list of edible plants; it delves into the true nature of what it takes to be a gatherer. When one takes into account all the books about hunting and fishing, one finds that they are numerous.
Grand Canyon - A Century of Change
This book is simply amazing. It represents a monumental effort taken on by many people. The fact that this book has not been on bestseller's lists is a testament to where our culture now stands.
Burro Bill and Me
This book could be viewed in many different ways, as a history book, an adventure book, or a book about various places in the Southwest. And it is certainly all that! However, for me it is a book about two people leaving the modern world and going back to a nomadic way of life.
