Notes
Photobook on the Salton Sea and the environmental transformation of Southern California. Texts by William deBuys and Joan Myers. Softcover, 400 pages.
Publisher Note
In the Imperial Valley of Southern California, the waters of the Colorado River sustain a major agricultural industry whose drainage flows into the Salton Sea, California’s largest lake and an essential habitat for migratory waterfowl. William deBuys traces the environmental and social history of the region, while Joan Myers’s photographs document its stark desert landscape, engineered waterways, abandoned developments and endangered ecosystem. Together, text and images examine the consequences of attempts to control nature and the continuing debate over the future of the Salton Sea.
