As a desert-dweller by choice, I understand that the arid climate isn’t for everyone. Some look at the wide open spaces, the rock, the dirt, the spiky plants and can’t help but yearn for someplace green and lush. Others are called to and calmed by the endless sky and uninterrupted vastness. Oasis is for that second group of folks. Or for the moisture junkies who just want a little insight into the drier side of life.
Profiling desert homes in richly detailed full color, the book ventures from Joshua Tree, California (where the author of the book lives) out to Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico, then drops down through Mexico and all the way to Chile. Older homes and modern, Airstreams and compounds, the book covers all kinds of dwellings—as long as they’re uncommonly pretty and located a healthy distance from large bodies of water.
