Reviews
"These are the kind of conversations we need to be having--with ourselves and with others. And the desert seems like the right austere setting to be having them. These fine essays take a deep tradition in American writing and extend it into our uncertain and collapsing present." --Bill McKibben, author of Falter and The End of Nature "A profound, impassioned, enlightened, and invigorating analysis of the planetary crisis by an elegant and generous thinker." --Max Porter, Buzzfeed "The crisis humanity faces is total. In sharply featured, compelling prose--the landscape writing here has the heartbreaking clarity of the experience of desert light--Ben Ehrenreich's stunning Desert Notebooks combs through history, literature, myth, physics, and ecology to understand how we got here, and how we might find our way out, into forms of time that are made not of our thralldom to capital and petroleum but of our relationships to each other, to our fellow creatures, to plants and rocks and landscapes, and to the stars overhead. Ehrenreich wants you to join him here, on earth. The thrill of Desert Notebooks is that in its lucid pages such a miracle seems almost possible." --Anthony McCann, author of Shadowlands "It's been a long time since I read anything as exciting and illuminating as Ben Ehrenreich's superb new book. Very few writers have addressed the current planetary crisis as powerfully and insightfully. The book is extraordinary as much for the rigor of its thinking as for the manner of its writing." --Amitav Ghosh

Synopsis
Layering climate science, mythologies, nature writing, and personal experiences, this New York Times Notable Book presents a stunning reckoning with our current moment and with the literal and figurative end of time. Desert Notebooks examines how the unprecedented pace of destruction to our environment and an increasingly unstable geopolitical landscape have led us to the brink of a calamity greater than any humankind has confronted before. As inhabitants of the Anthropocene, what might some of our own histories tell us about how to confront apocalypse? And how might the geologies and ecologies of desert spaces inform how we see and act toward time--the pasts we have erased and paved over, this anxious present, the future we have no choice but to build? Ehrenreich draws on the stark grandeur of the desert to ask how we might reckon with the uncertainty that surrounds us and fight off the crises that have already begun. In the canyons and oases of the Mojave and in Las Vegas's neon apocalypse, Ehrenreich finds beauty, and even hope, surging up in the most unlikely places, from the most barren rocks, and the apparent emptiness of the sky. Desert Notebooks is a vital and necessary chronicle of our past and our present--unflinching, urgent--yet timeless and profound.
