A Desert Bestiary: Folklore, Literature, and Ecological Thought from the World's Dry Places Paperback - 1997

by Gregory McNamee


From the publisher

Following the model of the medieval Latin bestiaries, Gregory McNamee has written a book at once naturalistic, folkloristic, and literary, made up of short essays on forty-three animals of the world's desert

First line

Thus the poet of Proverbs, who, like all desert people, turned to the ant for metaphorical example, finding in its industry the underpinnings of an ethic and a way of life.
