The Last Cheater's Waltz: Beauty and Violence in the Desert Southwest
ISBN: 9780816521531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this abundant space and isolation, the energy lords extract their bounty of natural resources, and the curators of mass destruction once mined their egregious weapons and reckless acts. It is a land of absolutes, of passion and indifference, lush textures and inscrutable tensions. Here violence can push beauty to the edge of a razor blade. . . . Thus Ellen Meloy describes a corner of desert hard by the San Juan River in southeastern Utah, a place long forsaken as implausible and impassable, of little use or value a place that she calls home. Despite twenty years of carefully...
