THE DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP Wilderness Icon
Photography in the Wild by Jeff Young
Words by Mark C. Jorgensen
ISBN: 978-1-941384-00-8
Retail price: $29.95, Softcover, 10 x 9, Carton: 20
Publisher: Sunbelt Publications
Desert Bighorn Sheep: Wilderness Icon is the most
comprehensive photographic work on this elusive symbol of
the deserts of the southwest United States and northern
Mexico. Photographer Jeff Young worked for years to
assemble tens of thousands of high quality photographs and assemble them into what is the
finest collection of desert bighorn photos ever published. Author Mark Jorgensen brings his five
decades of experience studying desert bighorn sheep and managing their habitat to provide the
informative text of this book.
The book’s six chapters features some 200 high quality photographs featuring rare
behavior, sheep in their rugged desert habitat, ewes nurturing newborn lambs, and massive
rams in stunning ritualized combat for dominance. The text documents the struggle to provide
habitat for the desert bighorn from Nuevo Leon west to Baja California, Mexico, and from Texas
west to California. Today, well-regulated hunting programs in the United States and Mexico
have generated millions of dollars in revenue, which has been directed to bighorn management
and conservation programs.

Gulf of California Coastal Ecology:
Insights from the Present and Patterns from the Past
ISBN 9781941384183, Retail: $19.95
Author: Markes E. Johnson and Jorge Ledesma-Vázquez
Publisher: Sunbelt Publications
Pub date: 1/16, Format: SC, 8 ½ x11, 148 pages
This handbook on ecology and paleoecology is infused with insights on the
origins and development of Mexico’s Sea of Cortés during a span of more than
12 million years. It makes the connection between a beautiful shell washed
onto a beach with the discovery of the same or a similar fossil shell from a
nearby limestone cliff.
The concept of natural history appears less often in increasingly specialized
literature, nowadays, failing to draw a connection between the present and the distant past. This book
makes the connection and brings the past alive. It deals with multiple and interlocking ecosystems and
their fossil counterparts, providing a holistic overview on geography, ecology, and geology.
Students, scholars, and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds will find this guide an indispensable resource
for exploration of virtually any stretch of coastline on the Gulf of California.

In Surfing the Border, Serge Dedina takes us on a journey into the world of surf
culture and travels around the globe to highlight how surfing connects us to the increasingly scarce
natural and cultural niches that remain. Whether he is exploring the wilds of Mexico and Australia or
getting a surfing makeover from his teenage sons, Serge Dedina shows us with humor and passion,
how riding waves is a gateway to the world beyond the beach.
Endorsements/reviews:
“Surfer, adventurer, activist—it’s a life trajectory many of us hope to emulate. In these keenly observed
essays, Dedina unspools his own deep journey from surf rat to change-maker, a ride that is as fun and
provocative as it is profound.”
—Kimball Taylor, author of The Coyote’s Bicycle
“A powerful voice for the underdog, Serge Dedina is relentless in his pursuit of solutions. Surfing the
Border is the story of how Serge learned what he knows, what has fueled him, and why he’s optimistic
about the power of the lessons of surfing to carry us through.”
—Drew
Kampion, author of Stoked! A History of Surf Culture

plants in 111 plant families are identified (most in both English and Spanish), with both scientific
and common names and detailed descriptions. Many species are illustrated with color
photographs. Descriptions entail plant habit and height; stem, leaf, flower, and fruit morphology;
range; elevation; pollination biology; ethnobotanical uses; and discriminating comparisons with
close relatives. This book is intended for everyone from the interested novice to the professional
botanist. Here is a link to a review in the Baja Bound Bulletin:
http://www.bajabound.com/before/travelbooks/bajafieldguide.php
This book of the unique plants of the Baja California Peninsula is the finest field guide I have had the privilege to
use. ..I highly recommend it even if you never have the chance to witness the botanical treasures of the Mexican
states of the 1300 km-long peninsula.
--Richard Felger, Native Plant Society of New Mexico – Gila Chapter
…I can unequivocally say that this is a fabulous book and has all the features I wish were present in many other
books. …this book makes the peninsula come alive for me in was I wasn’t expecting.
--Susi Torre-Bueno, San Diego Horticultural Society
…it will doubtless become an essential reference for learning the plants of the Baja California peninsula, one of
the most floristically diverse regions of the world.
--Dr. Michael G. Simpson, San Diego State University
Jon Rebman, in my opinion is one of the best botanists and taxonomists of the USA... His knowledge and passion
for plants of Baja California, especially the cactus’s family, is internationally recognized.
--Jose’ Delgadillo-Rodriquez, Botanist UABC
…I was very pleased to see how much good stuff is in the book. …superb material on how plants survive and
even flourish in hostile environments. Most of all, it is proof positive of the strong connection between the plants of
Baja and the flora of our deserts.
--Mike Bigelow, ABDSP Botany Society Member and former writer for the San Francisco Chronicle
…Popular first and second editions of this guide were nicknamed The Baja Plant Bible because no other plant
guide offered as much detailed and specific information about Baja plants. …The third edition seems to be even
more user-friendly, and contains a wealth of information about the climate, different regions, geology and a
summarized history of our unique peninsula.

Excerpt:
22°52'52.27 North latitude
I can’t leave, the desert is calling: the sahuaro cactus are warriors that urge me on, and chollas are the
armor protecting me. My patient brothers the puma and falcon show me the way. In the silence, the
whistling wind fortifies me. I take wings and fly: I’m the breeze over whales and shimmering schools of
fish. I’m grilled food with fine wine, the candle glowing on a loving gesture. I’m exercise, adventure, a
boat, riches, the best music; I never weary of all this. I’m flower-scents in the garden, a golf course’s
expanse of green lawn; I’m massage, laughter, a kiss, an embrace. I’m the firelight on a night of
mysteries, an embroidered edging, an exquisite view. I’m scorched sand; I’m cool wet at the edge of
the sea. I’m lust for life to its fullest; they call me Los Cabos.

From LETTERS FROM READER:
I wanted to tell you how your book touched my heart, soul & funny bone too. That hasn't happened in
many years, believe me and I am an avid reader. I raved about the book to my family, friends and
strangers. I will be 75 years old next month. Your books are the presents I give to myself, keep on
writing.
--Letter from Reader
Daniel Reveles’ folksy vignettes radiate with a love for the inhabitants of Tecate and a Mark Twain
insistence on ironic plain-spokenness…Where tourists may see a dusty, uneventful town, for Reveles
it teems with drama. His art appeals to anyone who longs for more authenticity in life—for more magic,
less rush, and some poetic justice.
