Arid zones, deserts; Conservation of the environment

Anticipated final installment in the trilogy begun with The Forests of California(2020) and continued with The Coasts of California(2022), which was a San Francisco Chroniclebestseller. Obi Kaufmann's signature combination of art, journaling, cartography, poetry, philosophy, science, and zoology is heavily sought after, and his fans will be delighted to see this new volume in his California Atlas series. Each volume in the series has been a bookseller favorite. This is due to the overall consistency of Kaufmann's attention to detail and astonishing vision and outlook on California landscape, flora, fauna, and natural history. This book delivers on that high bar set by the prior installments in the series! The last installment in the trilogy, Coasts of California,hit the San Francisco Chroniclebestseller list; the second in the series to do so (TheCalifornia Field Atlas (2017) was #1 on the bestseller list). Like Coasts, Desertswill be presented in a decorative paper slip-case, both to protect the book cover in a more sustainable way, but also allow customers to flip through the book's paintings and maps in a bookstore setting.

Reviews for The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas

Praise for The Coasts of California (2022) and The Forests of California (2020) by Obi Kaufmann: A call to action-full of beautiful watercolor renderings of both landscape and data. -Los Angeles Times Obi Kaufmann's books are like bibles to me. They are, honestly, the outdoor guides I've looked for for decades. They're beautifully drawn, written, printed and bound, and they explain California's natural beauty better than anything I've read before. -Dave Eggers Swirls research with poetry, the personal and human with the collective and ecological ... -Mother Jones As a reader you are invited to join him on a journey of discovery-not as a passenger but as an active partner. -San Francisco Chronicle Everyone in the state should have this gorgeous book on their bookshelf. -CBS San Francisco
