Gary Paul Nabhan's second book that dives deeper into the horticulture of the American Southwest and the edible plants still available. Much of Nabhan's work is derived from his close working relationship with the indigenous peoples of the area in which he works and their centuries of combined knowledge in regard to food and its gathering in arid regions. Inscribed by Nabhan on the title page. An increasingly scarce book, even moreso signed.
