Cadillac Desert: the American West and Its Disappearing Water
NY, Viking, (1986). Inscribed by Reisner to Ivan Doig, "with appreciation, from a fan," in the year of publication. An environmental classic, listed on Modern Library's top 100 nonfiction books of the 20th century and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. A revised edition was issued in 1993; a documentary film was made in 1997. Reisner died of cancer in 2000. Doig, author of nonfiction and of novels predominately set in the landscapes of Montana, provided a powerful blurb on the rear cover. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a bit of wear to the crown. A wonderful association, although at the time of this inscription Doig's western books were only the novel English Creek and his memoir, This House of Sky. [#033355] SOLD
