This seasonal almanac gave me all the information I needed, and then some, to renew my love for the Sonoran Desert. A helpful reference as well as a lot of fun to read, I found this to be just what I was looking for. I like the organization of the chapters, brief overview, flora and fauna, monthly weather statistics, places to visit, astronomic delights, etc. Even though the subtitle says Pima County and Beyond, I found it helpful for the San Pedro River Valley in Cochise County. Very good! Highly and frequently recommended to old and new desert rats.
