A land between

the long version

"A Land Between explores the central idea of how people's preconceptions and perceptions of a place - in this case, Owens Valley - influence their interventions on the land. Rebecca Fish Ewan draws on primary sources, oral histories, and conversations, offering a story that reaches beyond the oft-told of water wars with Los Angeles. Ewan's essays, illustrated with historical images and her own photographs of the region, provide a complex, multifaceted perspective on the land, the history, and the people of Owens Valley."--BOOK JACKET.
