Description: "The West Desert is a term loosely applied by Utahns to the basin and range salt desert in the eastern Great Basin. This arid region first caught the attention of photo documentarian and author Craig Denton when voices from it spoke out against the proposal to turn over large desert valleys to roving MX missiles. Intrigued by the region, its people, and their choices, Denton began documenting who they were, why they were there, and how they lived."--BOOK JACKET.

"Craig Denton portrays the regional society and people of the West Desert with insightful profiles of lives and their world, probing discussion of common concerns, and arresting photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
