But once we step foot in one, we find something else-vast spaces filled with life, beauty and serenity; perhaps mysticism, in the way of all spiritual seekers; perhaps sacred connections to ancestors, in the way of Native Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn America, deserts comprise so much of our country-Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California-that once we go there, we encounter no wasteland, but a staggering variety of landscapes, animal life, plants and geographical and human history that leave trails for us to follow into the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this 9th volume of the beloved Wanderland Writers series, contributors explore the salt basins, the shifting sands, the sunbaked plateaus, the starry-starry nights of American deserts. What they find-shamans, fault lines, bird singers, and both hidden and not-so-hidden treasures-is sometimes mystifying, often satisfying, and always surprising as landscapes slip, slide and shape-shift around them. It may not be settling, but it certainly sets the stage for a deeper understanding of what the American desert and, by extension, the planet we inhabit, have to teach us about ourselves and our place in our rapidly changing, sometimes confounding world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10911958\"\u003eLinda Watanabe McFerrin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wanderland Writers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798988702160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO002000\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wanderland Writers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48459906908397,"sku":"9798988702160","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_a9602a44-f2a3-49ce-aa87-b2ccd0ff03c5.jpg?v=1753653149","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/wandering-in-american-deserts-9798988702160","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
