About This Item
Albuquerque, NM: Univ of New Mexico Press, 1975. Revised & Enlarged Editon, 4th Printing . Soft cover. Very Good/None as Issued. Peter Hurd (Illustrator). Text/BRAND NEW & Bright. Illustrated soft cover/VG; strong & sound w/faint creasing to upper front corner & trace fading to spine, and price sticker to rear.. Reprint of the Revised & Enlarged Edition of 1965 from the 1934 & 1948 Editions. Epsicopal clergyman Ross Calvin (1889 - 1970) went to New Mexico in 1927; a six-month visit for health reasons extended to 43 years! As he considered man's history in the arid Southwest and the adaptability of desert plant and wild life particularly during drought, "the influence of the Sky Powers" became increasingly apparent. Calvin saw clearly, "... that which man determines here has never at any time very completely repealed that which Sky Determines". This perspective gave rise to the title of this classic work which demonstrates the powerful role of climatic matters in the development of both natural and cultural patterns of New Mexico.
