Making The Desert Bloom: Landscape Photography And Identity In The Owens Valley American West, Kaily A. Heitz Jan 2014

Making The Desert Bloom: Landscape Photography And Identity In The Owens Valley American West, Kaily A. Heitz

As teachers, writers, activists, and members of the progressive retirement community Pilgrim Place, they’ve had a significant influence on the global environmental movement.
