I'm not sure its' permissible to say these things:
1) "Alistair Cooke sent one of the film crews for his television series 'America' to the stretch of U.S. Highway 50 that winds across the central Great Basin mountains and deserts. He asked them to shoot whatever looked interesting--particularly ghost towns--between Ely and Sparks, Nevada. Their report: 'Everything looks like East St. Louis.'" (p. vii)
2) "About eight thousand years ago, a sudden increase in temperature started in the Mojave/Sonoran deserts, creating a wave of effects that spread northward through the Great Basin from 7500 to 4500 years ago. This was the Hypsithermal. . . . It was a worldwide event. . . . The extremes of the Hypsithermal increased the mean annual Great Basin temperature about 4.5 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit over today's averages." (pp. 50, 51.)… (plus d'informations)

This collection held several very good essays, mostly toward the beginning of the book. Many other essays, despite having been written by famed authors, left me wanting less.
