About this book

California Desert Miracle: The Fight for Desert Parks and Wilderness (Sunbelt Natural History Guides) by Wheat, Frank. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780932653277.

California Desert Miracle is a story of how unpaid and under-funded volunteers fought for the last large area of wildland left in California. Their efforts, lasting over 20 years, culminated in the enactment of the California Desert Protection Act of 1994. The story describes how masterful leadership helped work the Act through Congress despite filibusters, "holds", and other legislative mechanisms of delay and destruction arrayed against it. This story will engage and enlighten all who care deeply about the environment.
