Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A land of austerity and bounty, the Sonoran Desert is a place that captures imaginations and hearts. It is a place where barbs snag, thorns prick, and claws scratch. A place where lizards scramble and pause, hawks hunt like wolves, and bobcats skulk in creosote. Both literary anthology and hands-on field guide, The Sonoran Desert is a groundbreaking book that melds art and science. It captures the stunning biodiversity of the world’s most verdant desert through words and images. More than fifty poets and writers—including Christopher Cokinos, Alison Hawthorne Deming, Ken Lamberton, Eric Magrane, Jane Miller, Gary Paul Nabhan, Alberto Ríos, Ofelia Zepeda, and many others—have composed responses to key species of this striking desert. Each creative contribution is joined by an illustration by award-winning artist Paul Mirocha and scientific information about the creature or plant authored by the book’s editors. From the saguaro to the mountain lion, from the black-tailed jackrabbit to the mesquite, the species represented here have evoked compelling and creative responses from each contributor. Just as writers such as Edward Abbey and Ellen Meloy have memorialized the desert, this collection is sure to become a new classic, offering up the next generation of voices of this special and beautiful place, the Sonoran Desert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geography and Resources of Arizona Sonora: An Address Before the American Geographical Statistical Society The word Arizona is undoubtedly derived from the Aztec, In the original it is Arizuma, and the change is a corruption into the present word, which is accepted as Spanish. We have no decided information as to its meaning, but the impression among those who have been curious enough to investigate, is that it signifies "silver-bearing." This impression gains strength from the fact that the Arizona mountains are very rich in silver, and that a tradition of a silver mine, called La Arizona, of incredible richness, still exists among the Mexican people near the frontier of our newly-acquired Territory. The proposed Territory of Arizona is bounded on the north by the parallel of latitude 33 40'; on the cast by Texas; on the south by Texas and the Mexican States of Chihuahua and Sonora; and on the west by the Colorado river, which separates it from California. This great region is about seven hundred miles long, with an average width of about one hundred and forty miles, and contains nearly 100,000 square miles. It is twice as large as New York; embraces within its borders three of the largest rivers on the continent west of the Mississippi, viz: the Rio Grande, the Gila, and the Colorado of the West. The Colorado is the only navigable stream, and by its waters and those of the Gulf of California, Arizona is placed in easy communication with San Francisco and the Pacific coast. The natural outlet for the productions of Arizona must he through a port on the Gulf of California, and the acquisition of Arizona necessitates the possession of Sonora.

Download or read book Rudo Ensayo written by Juan Nentvig and published by . This book was released on 1980-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the Rudo Ensayo is more an historic document than a mere history, so this new translation of it is more a documented interpretation than simply a new translation. The translator/editors bring their expert knowledge of the area, the language, and the history to every page of Nentvig's manuscript. Pradeau and Rasmussen have clarified many of the ambiguities of earlier translations by Smith (1863) and Guiteras (1894), and have added substantial annotations to the author's accounts of fauna and flora, native culture, and Spanish outposts. An incomparable record of a twelve-year mission in 18th century Sonora, the Rudo Ensayo as rendered in modern English is also a fascinating travelogue through an untamed land.
