About this title: Childs answers the call of fierce places; the more desolate the landscape, the more passionately he is drawn to it. For Childs, these are the types of terrain that sharpen the senses, and demand a physicality the modern civilized world no longer requires. Includes black-and-white photos and pen-and-ink drawings by the author.

"Have been reading this for months, now; no time these days for reading fun! A great escape, takes me out into the desert in an instant. Perfect when I need to create some peaceful headspace. Tedious at times, but also lyrical and expansive."
"I'm demoting this to 4 stars... This is my first Craig Childs book and I really like his writing style. It's a lot of prose and comparisons and "earthy" writing. But I will agree with other reviews that his writing can be self-centered and a little hard to swallow in large doses. I gave it 4 stars because when I'm stuck in my house doing the same chores all over again - this is my escape. When I read this book, I feel the rocks under my feet, the wind, the rain, the quiet air, and the complete sense of wonder and wholeness from being part of nature. It's an amazing escape."
"This book was interesting, but I did not find it as engrossing as the Secret Knowledge of Water. It was a bit more existential, but I'm not sure he was really saying that much to me. We'll see what my book club thinks tomorrow."
