Netting the Sun: A Personal Geography of the Oregon Desert by Melvin Adams
Netting the Sun offers a diversity of natural and human stories from a landscape seemingly empty and forlorn to passing casual travelers. This surprising interpretation of south central Oregon's botany, geology, climate, wildlife, ethnography, and history reveals what a truly special place the high desert is. The author weaves in his own experiences growing up in the sagebrush community of Lakeview. "I endeavored to write this collection about the Oregon desert because of my childhood there," he writes, "but also because it is a place of startling mystery, subdued danger, and beauty." |
