From the preface: "The Far West is a region of intimidation.
The potential for destruction both tempers and unnerves...those who
live there. The Oakland-Berkley Hills firestorm came within a half
mile of my house... Weather is inseparable from the landscape it
affects. There are landscapes of destruction, of earthquakes, tidal
waves, hurricanes and blizzards; and interior landscapes, the climate
of closed spaces, the weather of dreams, memory and the imagination."
