Explores the remarkable diversity of life in this harsh yet fragile quarter of the Golden State. This book illuminates how that diversity, created by drought and heat, has evolved with climate change since the Ice Ages. It also takes the measure of the ecological condition of these deserts, presenting issues of conservation and restoration.
