Book Description

Longarm in the Red Desert
Red Desert
Author: Annie Proulx
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292742622
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
A photographic and multidisciplinary study of one of America’s last undeveloped—and most endangered—landscapes, edited by a Pulitzer Prize–winning author. A vast expanse of rock formations, sand dunes, and sagebrush in central and southwest Wyoming, the little-known Red Desert is one of the last undeveloped landscapes in the United States, as well as one of the most endangered. It is a last refuge for many species of wildlife. Sitting atop one of North America's largest untapped reservoirs of natural gas, the Red Desert is a magnet for energy producers who are damaging its complex and fragile ecosystem in a headlong race to open a new domestic source of energy and reap the profits. To capture and preserve what makes the Red Desert both valuable and scientifically and historically interesting, writer Annie Proulx and photographer Martin Stupich enlisted a team of scientists and scholars to join them in exploring the Red Desert through many disciplines: geology, hydrology, paleontology, ornithology, zoology, entomology, botany, climatology, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, and history. Their essays reveal many fascinating, often previously unknown facts about the Red Desert—everything from the rich pocket habitats that support an amazing diversity of life to engrossing stories of the transcontinental migrations that began in prehistory and continue today on I-80—which bisects the Red Desert. Complemented by Martin Stupich’s photo-essay, which portrays both the beauty and the devastation that characterize the region today, Red Desert bears eloquent witness to a unique landscape in its final years as a wild place./

Author: Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli
Publisher: Anakina
ISBN: 1310695806
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Mars hasn’t always been red. Once it was covered by oceans. It was blue, hospitable, inviting. Then everything changed, but something remained . . . waiting. Third book in the science fiction series “Red Desert”. The joy of finding the small community living in Ophir is soon shattered by the news coming from Houston about the loss of contact with Station Alpha. In fact for more than a day now, no life signs have been detected inside the habitat. So, together with Jack, Anna sets out for Lunae Planum again. She’s assailed by dread about Robert’s and Hassan’s fate, and also by doubts concerning their involvement in the death of both the Isis mission commander, and most of all, his wife. However, having to face Michelle’s murderer is only the first of her problems. Torn between the desire to return to Earth and the ambition of getting the credit for her scientific discoveries, Anna will see her feeble certainties waver several times, until the revelation of a more devious danger concealed by the Red Planet: an invisible enemy, whose mysterious intent menaces her existence and the one of the only person who is still at her side. The previous books are: “Red Desert - Point of No Return” (book 1); “Red Desert - People of Mars” (book 2). The final book is “Red Desert - Back Home”.

Longarm #290: Longarm and the Desert Rose
Author: Tabor Evans
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101179295
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Longarm wrangles with some cattle rustlers in the heat of the desert! A pack of rustlers have made a recent habit of holding up trains coming through Rampart Valley and raiding their cattle shipments. And they’ve managed to confound everybody in the district by leaving behind not a single trace—of themselves or the stolen cows. Now it’s up to Longarm to ride into the Llano Caliente—the hottest, deadliest desert around—and figure out how a gang of thieves and the beef they stole have managed to vanish into thin air. The sooner he tracks ’em down the better—especially as he’s got a very pretty tomboy who promises to make his coming back in one piece worth his while.
