Mountain Islands and Desert Seas: A Natural History of the U.S.-Mexican Borderlands (Louise Lindsey Merrick Natural Environment Series)
In this 1981 volume, Gehlbach relates 26 years of personal discovery and research into the area extending from the lower Rio Grande to the Sonoran Desert. His aim, said LJ 's reviewer, is 'to foster conservation of the unparalleled natural diversity of the Borderlands," which he "ably achieves" ( LJ 12/1/81). Illustrated with 66 color and 36 black-and-white photographs, this remains a solid choice for environmental collections.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
