This book elucidates the poignant beauty of the arid Eastern Sierras, while cloaking the region in a prevailing mystery. Austin’s acute ability of perception is reflected in a curi ous understanding of place, forward thinking advocacy of oft over-looked voices, and a patient construction of a complex ecology. This book is meant to be read slowly and tumbled through the mind until well-polished. Paperback, 178 pages, Warbler Classics, 7 ¾" x 5" Show more
