Death Valley is a place of record-breaking heat and unexplained natural odditiesa place where salt beds descend a thousand feet below the surface; where inch-long fish swim in a 112-degree creek; where huge boulders slide mysteriously across a dry lakebed. There are also gas stations, convenience stores, a visitor center, and a five-star hotel. Despite the modern conveniences, however, its still quite easy to die in Death Valley.
Author John Soennichsen spent decades hiking, exploring, and observing as much of this forbidding yet fascinating region as possible. Based on journals kept during his travels,Live! From Death Valleyrelates his experiences in the region and examines the history, geology, and philosophical inspirations of the surrounding area. Alongside his own stories Soennichsen weaves an imaginative retelling of William Manly and the Bennet-Arcane partys fateful pioneer trip through Death Valley in 184950, as well as modern-day tales of UFO sightings, doomsday prophets, and movie and TV production sets.
Part guidebook, part autobiography, part narrative,Live! From Death Valleychronicles the raw history, weirdness, and geographical charm of this extraordinary place.
“Eloquently written, Soennichsens book is a triumph of reportage reminiscent of McPhee.”–Publishers Weekly
* A compelling narrative about one of the most mysterious places on Earth by acclaimed nonfiction writer Soennichsen
