The Sonoran Desert is one of the most wildly diverse and fascinating regions in the world. Covering southeastern California, the southern half of Arizona, most of Baja California, and much of the state of Sonora, Mexico, this vast area is home to an amazing variety of plants and animals. Its terrain varies dramatically, from parched desert lowlands to semiarid tropical forests and frigid subalpine meadows. A Natural History of the Sonoran Desert provides the most complete collection of Sonoran Desert natural history information ever compiled and is a perfect introduction to this biologically rich desert of North America.The authors
Traveling on foot through some of the most rugged terrain in the world, Ted Cox with his dog Coy, desperately try to make it to the Quarter Circle U Ranch in the Superstition Mountains. Ted is seriously ill and his dog's feet are blistered from the hot desert floor. Finally arriving at the ranch, he inadvertently overhears a plot to murder Adolf Ruth, a man who has come to search for the illusive Lost Dutchman Mine. While trying to prevent Ruth's murder, Ted becomes entwined in a high stakes journey filled with mystery and scandal, when he also learns of a more sinister plan, which began when Arizona was still a territory.
A comprehensive field guide, fully illustrated with color photographs, to the wildflowers, insects, birds, reptiles and other natural wonders of North America's deserts, from Oregon to Mexico.
