"Out of print and frequently stolen"

 

A local librarian

Dry Borders is a natural history, biological inventory, cultural history, and biogeography of a vast land. Generously illustrated, the work includes non-technical and narrative essays as well as original and summary scientific contributions. The book concentrates on the more than seven million acres of contiguous protected lands encompassing the core of the Sonoran Desert on both sides of the international border: Reserva de la Biósfera Alto Golfo y Delta del Río Colorado, Reserva de la Biósfera El Pinacate y El Gran Desierto, Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Reserve, Barry M. Goldwater Military Range, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. It is an extremely valuable resource for educators, scientists, the public, land managers, and conservationists.

This special issue of the 1997 Journal of the Southwest is out-of-print, however a vastly expanded and revised book version of this work is forthcoming. Look for updates on this website regarding this important work.
