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\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert | Terry Tempest Williams | Paperback | 0375725180 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1765982","offer_id":49376399425688,"sku":"1765982","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81wbPCDua5L.jpg?v=1783012090","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/red-passion-and-patience-in-the-desert","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
