The Desert Year

A nature book about one of my favorite places in the world, the Sonora Desert. What could be better? Well, actually, a lot of other books, it seems. Krutch is very chatty and philosophical, and he tends to spend much of the reader's time and many words on topics not related to the Sonora Desert. There is some interesting nature writing and philosophizing, so its not a total loss, but I'll keep looking for a good book on the Sonora Desert. ( )

Essays about the desert illustrate the meaning a Pantheist derives from nature. ( )
