Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

[The Oregon Desert] is a landscape with stories unique to our part of the West. The efforts of the author are a welcome addition to the fairly meager body of literature on [our region.]

Reseña del editor:

This book is part memoir, part history, and unusually well written for a work of this type. Melvin, who was born in the desert region of eastern Oregon in 1941, interweaves an affectionate account of his own experiences living there with a history of the region, a history that encapsulates the wider story of the settlement of the American west. As a scientist, he has focused his career on environmental problems associated with nuclear waste disposal in arid environments and currently lives and works in Hanford, Washington. Annotation c.
