Add a CommentIntoxicating, mystical, and sheer beauty. This is a book I've read again and again and will read again and again.
Craig provides a unique and passionate view of water and the desert. I'll never think of them the same. Fascinating and well-written - I recommend it to anyone who likes reading and learning about the natural world. I've placed a hold on another his books to see if the magic is in his other books as well.
