As a nature lover and avid photographer, Mr. Hills has spent years roaming the high desert and has done much field work in the study of the desert ecosystem. He has focused particularly on the area's prolific juniper trees and how they are an integral part of the desert setting in which they thrive. The author points out that the juniper are not the usurpers of the desert many disparage them to be and presents his case for respecting the juniper. It is the expressed purpose of this book to encourage both the preservation of and the exercise of responsible conservation in regard to these trees. Juniper trees, whether typical, utilitarian specimens or unique, weird, extraordinary ones are represented in these pages as they should be...important to the local ecosystem as well as delights for nature lovers.
