I borrowed it from the library and read the book during the holidays. Though the language is a little bit stilted to our ears (I'm amazed how quickly writing styles can change in a relatively short period of time--it's only been 60 years since the book was published), his take on the desert matches mine exactly. In addition, I found it very interesting to read another person's laments about overpopulation and sprawl written 60 years ago; even then he could see the effect of unbridled encroachment on the natural world and, of course, it has only gotten so much worse since then, and not just in the desert. Keep offering reading suggestions if they're as good as Krutch; I appreciate them!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443352705506509732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829257583275708438.post-30586531052704182322012-01-12T03:24:11.596-07:002012-01-12T03:24:11.596-07:00Lovely, RobLovely, RobToniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601306928201460545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829257583275708438.post-89152571920600480942012-01-11T18:49:27.609-07:002012-01-11T18:49:27.609-07:00Nice to see people of all ages (and dogs of all ag...Nice to see people of all ages (and dogs of all ages) enjoying themselves.Dr. Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16832715003164767408noreply@blogger.com
