ISBN10: 160520658X, ISBN13: 9781605206585, [publisher: Cosimo Classics] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The best known and most beloved work of literary pioneer Mary Austin, 1903's \*The Land of Little Rain\* is a collection of 14 vignettes paying poetic homage to the arid beauty of the lands of Death Valley and the Mojave. An amateur naturalist and a keen observer of human influence on the landscape, Austin here introduces us, in her inimitable way, to the wildlife, the people, and the unique problems and attractions of these sandy reaches in such essays as 'The Mesa Trail,' 'Shoshone Land,' 'Water Borders,' 'Nurslings of the Sky,' and others. The author herself believed that she had 'done for the desert what Thoreau did for New England.' Lovers of natural philosophy are sure to agree. American author MARY HUNTER AUSTIN (1868-1934) wrote numerous novels, poems, plays, and works of criticism, much of it centered on feminist, environmental, and multicultural issues. She is best remembered for her writing on matters concerning Native American rights and the deserts of the American Southwest. [Einbeck, Germany] [Publication Year: ...

[Volkmann Zamorano80 #2, Graff 114, Howell50 273, Cowan64 p24]. Mary Hunter Austin (1868-1934) was an American writer of the Southwest. This was her first of 35 books and, by many accounts, her best book. The Land of Little Rain is a story of life and nature on the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of Owens Valley, the Inyo Mountains, Mojave Desert, Death Valley and Western Nevada. In Lawrence Clark Powell, California Classics, he writes "There in the county of Inyo she put down roots and absorbed the lore of the Paiute and Shoshone Indians and of the shepherds, ranchers and miners.
