Book of Answers

Hundreds of thousands of people visit the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum each year - and every one of them brings a question: How do I attract hummingbirds to my yard? What should I take on a desert hike? What's the oldest living thing in the desert? Are Gila Monsters dangerous? You might be surprised by the answers!

If you were to go wandering in the Arizona desert on a spring day, what would you be likely to see? This video answers that question. Far from being the lifeless, hostile place that many people imagine, the Arizona desert in spring puts forth an astonishing display of flowers, and a wide variety of animal life. Spring comes to the Harcuvars contains interviews with 12 species of lizard, 5 rattlesnake species (and five other snakes), plus several birds and mammals. Over 60 different flowering plants provide a kaleidoscope of color. Produced by Ralph and Boonmee Rose, makers of acclaimed "Prescott: Close to Nature," this new video follows the upbeat style of its predecessor, and the Roses continue to demonstrate their knack for getting very close to their subjects.

This educational and entertaining documentary provides a close look at the area in and around the seldom-visited Harcuvar Mountains in Southwest Arizona. A delightful addition to the video library of any nature lover. 60 minutes Color VHS...Highly recommended!

"... the best introduction to the desert I have yet to see. I learned more from watching it than I have learned from all the the Peterson Guides and PBS nature programs combined."

"I watched the videotape ... and was enchanted ... It would make a wonderful gift for anyone who cares what lies beyond the Phoenix city limits."
