The New Desert Reader brings together a historical cross section of writing a bout the American Southwest in selections that demonstrate how thinking about Am erican deserts has changed from the earliest times to the present day. Beginning with the centuries-old legends of the Tohono O?Odham Indians, it moves throug h the foresighted observations of John Wesley Powell, one-armed explorer of the Grand Canyon; continues with the delicate appreciations of Mary Austin and Josep h Wood Krutch; includes examples of the keen activist writings of Wallace Stegne r and Edward Abbey; and finishes with such contemporary desert writers as Tony H illerman and others.A slow change in outlook dominates the book, as attitude s shift from viewing the desert as a place to be despised or exploited to an app reciation of it as a special place, an arena of highly complex natural communiti es, and a wild refuge for the human body and soul.
