Description: Sonoran Desert Summer by John Alcock. Hardcover. Excellent condition, no bends in spine or crease on pages. Plastic book cover. "A handsome, thoughtful record of nature observation and conceptual ecology in a very hard place to live."-- New York Times "A superb piece of natural history writing."-- Publishers Weekly "An eminently accessible piece of natural history."-- Booklist "We might mistake it for merely a sweet book of observations by a man who studies wasps and butterflies in the desert of central Arizona. It is that, but not merely that. John Alcock is an ecologist with a patient eye, a broad curiosity and a head full of well-honed questions, and this is his rumination about the way the world works. . . . The real charm of Mr. Alcock's book is that, while he tells us such cerebral things, he also shows us that scientific cognition isn't the only way to experience a glorious ecosystem."--David Quammen, New York Times Book Review
