Description
"Bowen's excitement for good science and hard data, field adventure, and wide-ranging conservation brings it all together through his splendid storytelling and narrative, all backed by his careful field journals. And it is all quite infectious." --Daniel W. Anderson, professor emeritus, Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology, University of California, Davis "From the very first pages, Bowen vividly paints a picture of this remote region of extreme beauty and isolation. Without recourse to equations or highly abstracted models, he deftly situates both the writing and the research behind it within robust bodies of cultural, natural, and historical theory. This work is of high importance in terms of both sheer volume and range of information about an understudied, underreported, and underrecognized region of North America." --Matthew Des Lauriers, Department of Anthropology, California State University, San Bernardino
