DESCRIPTION:
Barney Considine said Singing Grass, Burning Sage. This is another of the very fine books featuring the pen of Jack Nesbit. Washington State east of the Cascade Mountains is a land in the midst of change. Known as the Columbian Plateau, the land was originally arid shrub-steppe. Irrigated with water from aquifers and dams on the Columbia River, it becomes extremely productive agricultural land. The amount of land developed has reached the critical point where the very nature of the land; beauty, flora, fauna, spirit; is in d. John A. Leraas said excellent description of the habitat and interesting history. Very nice. My Dad and I spent time in the sagebrush when I was young collecting specimens for his biology classes at Pacific Lutheran University. I have fond memories of the area. Nisbet does an excellent job of describing the area, the flora and fauna and conveying the history of the place. I bought another copy for my son.. Beautiful pictures and prose I enjoyed first just looking at the photographs; then I went back and read it more throughly. It captures the beauty and the seesence of the dry side of our state of Washington.
This book offers an intriguing introduction to Washington's vast arid lands dominated by fragrant sagebrush, lush coulees, and unique desert creatures and plants.
