  • Beschreibung: With its soaring azure sky and stark landscapes, the American Southwest is one of the most hauntingly beautiful regions on earth. Yet staggering population growth, combined with the intensifying effects of climate change, is driving the oasis-based society close to the brink of catastrophe. In 'A Great Aridness', William DeBuys paints a compelling picture of what the Southwest might look like when the heat turns up and the water runs out.
