Question

“Desert” is an unfortunate word all around and most of its usual associations are inaccurate as well as unfavorable. In the first place, the word doesn’t even mean “dry”, but simply uninhabited or deserted – like Robinson Crusoe’s island. Even in its secondary meaning, “desert” suggests to most people the rolling sand dunes of the Sahara. Something like that one may find in Death Valley; perhaps in parts of the Mojave; and especially, with an added weirdness, in the hundreds of square miles of New Mexico’s White Sands, where the great dunes of glistening gypsum drift like the snow-banks one can hardly believe they are not. Most of my Lower Sonoran Desert, however, is not at all like that. The sandy soil is firm and hard-packed; it supports life, less crowded than in wetter regions but pleasantly flourishing. Nature does not frown here. She smiles invitingly. – Joseph Wood Krutch, The Desert Year
