Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.
— Joseph Wood Krutch, The Desert Year
In The Desert Year, Joseph Wood Krutch explores the plants, animals, and changing seasons of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. Look, the place may seem dry and empty, but it’s packed with life if you bother to pay attention. With curiosity and humor, Krutch shows how living things survive, and what they might teach people while they’re at it.
