All About Dry Climate Gardening
I bought this book and read it shortly after it was published in 1975 and I have considered it a special book that I should reread someday. The recent death of the author, Hope Ryden, prompted me to pull it off the top shelf and execute my intentions. It is a fine book and the contrast it makes with more recent books about the same species especially Dan Flores's COYOTE AMERICA was starteling. America has made remarkable progress in understanding and protecting this remarkable canine in the 40 odd years that seperate the publishing of the two books. The contrast was so stark that I had the creepy sensation that I had never read Ryden's book in the first place. Read both of these books!!
