"A passionately felt, deeply poetic book. It has philosophy. It has humor. It has its share of nerve-tingling
adventures...set down in a lean, racing prose, in a close-knit style of power and beauty."

Edward Abbey lived for three seasons in the desert at Moab, Utah, and what he discovered about the land before
him, the world around him, and the heart that beat within, is a fascinating, sometimes raucous, always personal
account of a place that has already disappeared, but is worth remembering and living through again and again.
