Description

Blue Desert by Charles Bowden explores the impact of rapid growth on the Arizona landscape. Written with a reporter's objectivity and a desert rat's passion, the book presents a nuanced view of the Southwest, revealing the darker side of development where "the land always makes promises of aching beauty and the people always fail the land". Through his trademarked craft and wit, Bowden invites readers to consider the consequences of human actions on the environment.
