Live! from Death Valley
dispatches from America's low point
Book - 2005
Welcome to a hot, low place where it's easy to die, and many have. Where burros outnumber people and massive boulders mysteriously skid across dry lakebeds. A vast depression in the earth that rests on the California-Nevada border, Death Valley is the treacherous obstacle that thwarted early settlers and continues to be a magnet for hermits, hippies, and UFO sightings. For some, the isolation and beauty of the place trigger spiritual awakenings. You see, despite its reputation, Death.

| 520 | 8 | |a Valley is very much alive. Oh, and it's hot ... very hot. | |
| 520 | 8 | |a In this informed and entertaining tour of Death Valley, author John Soennichsen crosses both time and territory to discover the true essence of this singular American locale. Along the way, he weaves historical vignettes describing the ill-fated decision of William Lewis Manly and his fellow travelers who, in 1849, decided to follow an uncertain shortcut to the California gold fields. | |
| 520 | 8 | |a On your journey through this remarkable terrain, join Soennichsen as he sets out to see what 120 degrees really feels like. Leave civilization behind and wander the harshly beautiful, curiously severe landscape of Death Valley. But come prepared, for strange things happen down here. Book jacket. | |
