Oblong folio. (11)ff. Daiber here takes as emblematic of the ecological decline of the American West the plight of the ogallala aquifer, with relief prints of found barbed wire and barn boards in addition on the naturalist illustrations. These images of human intervention and clutter evoke, too, the larger picture of westward expansion and the displacements of indigenous vegetation and Americans. Stab-bound in natural brown paper wrappers with barbed-wire printed in yellow. Fine.
