Very good used paperback. Revised fifth edition from 1979. Minor spotting along outer edges and inside front cover. Stapled binding. Scarce.

Excerpted from the preface:

The complete natural history of Death Valley will never be written. The remarkable adaptations of its many plants and animals to their arid environment and their relationship to one another is a subject too vast ... To know even a few of the wild flowers, trees, shrubs, reptiles, birds, and mammals will add enormously to the total pleasure which can be derived while camping or traveling under Death Valley's sunny sky.
