Отрывок из книги

I wish to personally thank the following people for their comments and suggestions that helped to shape this book: my wife Sandra Crochetiere, friends Jeannie and Gerald Fitzsimmons and Joshua Tree National Park Superintendent David Smith.

My thanks also go out to Arin Tripp for allowing me to share her beautiful watercolor at the end of this book and to the National Park Service for the use of their wonderful photos throughout the book.
