This is on the short list of key books for anyone who live in or loves the American Southwest. With scientific precision and understated emotional power, it explains what your future holds. A remarkable book.
— Bill McKibben, Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
Non-experts who want a concrete sense of climate change's impact, and a lyrical reading experience, should turn to A Great Aridness.
— Washington Post
The American Southwest is one of the most hauntingly beautiful regions on earth. Yet, amidst its soaring azure sky and stark landscapes, exists the reality of staggering population growth. When combined with the intensifying effects of climate change, the oasis-based society is dangerously close to the brink of a Dust-Bowl-scale catastrophe.
In A Great Aridness: Climate Change and the Future of the American Southwest, William deBuys paints a compelling picture of what the Southwest might look like when the heat turns up and the water runs out. This semi-arid land, vulnerable to water shortages, rising temperatures, wildfires, and a host of other environmental challenges, is poised to bear the heaviest consequences of global environmental change in the United States.
By examining the vanishing wildlife, forest die backs, and the over-allocation of the already stressed Colorado River, deBuys (see About the Author below) paints a vivid picture of how what is happening in the Southwest will provide a glimpse of what other mid-latitude arid lands worldwide, the Mediterranean Basin, southern Africa, and the Middle East, will experience in the coming years.
A Great Aridness: Climate Change and the Future of the American Southwest offers an unflinching look at the dramatic effects of climate change occurring right now in our own backyard.
You can learn more about the story behind the William deBuys writing of A Great Aridness: Climate Change and the Future of the American Southwest here.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
An active conservationist, deBuys has helped protect more than 150,000 acres in New Mexico, Arizona, and North Carolina. He lives and writes on a small farm in northern New Mexico.

With a dedication of "To all cocktail drinkers, from the sage imbiber to the budding enthusiast", how can you resist An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails: 50 Classic Cocktail Recipes, Tips and Tales?
The classic cocktail is made up of three parts, something strong, something sweet and something bitter. Shaken or stirred, on the rocks or straight up, every cocktail has a unique history. An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails showcases the often romantic origin of classic and modern mixed drinks and the fascinating characters who made them famous.
The drink recipes include favorite classics, such as the Old-Fashioned, the White Russian, and the Sidecar, alongside forgotten standards such as the Blood and Sand. Written by Orr Shtuhl (see About the Author below), each page is beautifully illustrated by Elizabeth Graeber (of Pie - A Hand Drawn Almanac fame) and filled with not only killer recipes, but tricks of the trade like "How to Like Tequila" and "How to Buy Bar Equipment".
In addition to mixing tips and techniques, An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails brings the marvels of mixology to every home bartender and is a must the next time you crave a mint julep on the veranda or need a Vesper before sitting down to view Casino Royale with Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond.
Think An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails is pretty cool? Love pie? Then you have to check out Pie: An Hand-Drawn Almanac. Both have very tasty offerings and delightful illustrations. And those illustrations were done by the incredibly talented Elizabeth Graeber, who also did wonderful illustration Pretty Things & Cool Stuff!

The Jazz Messengers have been called the Eighth Wonder of the World. And the recording of Art Blakey and The Original Jazz Messengers is where it all began back in 1956.
Legendary jazz drummer Art Blakey - known as "The Tiger of Jazz" because of his ferocious playing style - started The Jazz Messengers in the late 40s. With Blakey at the helm, the band was a beacon that attracted an ever-changing lineup of talented young players who sharpened their chops on the way to claiming their own bright spotlights in jazz history.
The long list of Jazz Messengers includes more than 150 alums, and it is a mind-blowing collection! See Tidbits below. And they cooked for more than 40 years, matched only by various jazz groups led by Miles Davis.
This inaugural Jazz Messengers lineup set the bar very high for those who followed. In addition to Blakey on drums, there was pianist Horace Silver, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Donald Byrd on trumpet and Doug Watkins on bass. Mercy!
This 12-track remastered CD of Art Blakey and The Original Jazz Messengers features five tracks that previously were only available on foreign recordings.
Kick back and take a listen….you will want more!

In 1997, Columbia / Legacy Records released The Jazz Messengers CD featuring all of the tracks from the original album of Art Blakey with the Original Jazz Messengers. This 12-track release includes five tracks from the original recording sessions in 1956 that previously were only available on foreign releases. See Track List.
This CD also features new liner notes by noted drummer and New York DJ Kenny Washington, in addition to the original ones written by session producer George Avikian. There also are new photos of this classic quintet.
