description: A series of finely-composed black &amp; white photos of Southern California's Salton Sea and its desolate surroundings. The text tells the troubled history of this immense body of water, accidentally formed in the early 20th century by massive flooding from the Colorado River. The Sea, an important breeding ground for numerous waterfowl, is gradually becoming more saline and contaminated; the author/photographer also details what efforts will be necessary to save it. There was one small printing of this book, only in softcover. It measures 11" X 8.5" and features 33 full-page photos.
