Bonelight: Ruin and Grace in the New Southwest / Essays by Mary Sojourner

University of Nevada Press, 2002. Inscribed by author on half-title page. First Edition. Hardcover. VG/VG. 

When upstate New Yorker Mary Sojourner reluctantly agreed to visit the Grand Canyon of Arizona nearly two decades ago, she little suspected that she was about to lose her heart to the daunting, gut-wrenching beauty of the Southwest, or that she would shortly find there a home, a passion for the land, and a cause in protecting it. Since then, she has become acclaimed as an environmental writer and respected as a grass-roots activist protesting the heedless development of the Southwest's increasingly precious and embattled open spaces.
