The desert is her blood. Here she writes lyrically about the desert's power and vulnerability, describing wonders that range from an ancient Puebloan sash of macaw feathers found in Canyonlands National Park to the desert tortoise-an animal that can \"teach us the slow art of revolutionary patience\" as it extends our notion of kinship with all life. She examines the civil war being waged in the West today over public and private uses of land-an issue that divides even her own family. With grace, humor, and compassionate intelligence, Williams reminds us that the preservation of wildness is not simply a political process but a spiritual one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTerry Tempest Williams is the award-winning author of fifteen books, including \u003ci\u003eRefuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFinding Beauty in a Broken World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhen Women Were Birds, \u003c\/i\u003eand, most recently, \u003ci\u003e The Hour of Land\u003c\/i\u003e.
