The Desert Smells Like Rain: A Naturalist in O'odham Country

Published more than forty years ago, The Desert Smells Like Rain remains a classic work about nature, how to respect it, and what transplants can learn from the longtime residents of the Sonoran Desert, the Tohono O'odham people. This edition includes a new preface written by the author, in which he reflects on his gratitude for the O'odham people who who have bene generous enough to share their stories with those of us from other cultural traditions so that we may also respect and appreciate the smell of the desert after a rain.
