520 1 "In a subtle dance of arid solitude, two southern
California deserts come together at Joshua Tree National
Park. One is the Colorado Desert - an extension of the
Sonoran Desert - which features natural gardens of
ocotillo and cholla cactus. Moving west, the other end of
the park engages the Mojave Desert, the special habitat of
the Joshua tree as well as some of the most interesting
geologic displays found anywhere."
520 8 "For Deanne Stillman, Joshua Tree is a place of
pilgrimage. Her own desert mecca, the park speaks to her
in ways that no other place does. With crisp and
impassioned narrative she takes the reader through the
park's wonders, including a talking cactus, mysterious
rock art, and rocks in the shape of the late New York
Yankees manager Billy Martin. Photographs by Galen Hunt
further accentuate the gorgeous landscape, highlighting
the growing need to preserve its beauty." "While it
explores the park's history, geology, flora, and fauna,
Joshua Tree also is a plea to walk lightly on the land, to
conserve our natural heritage, and to appreciate places
that call out to the soul."--Jacket
