Running Out: In Search of Water on the High Plains
Lucas Bessire
@brdemuth Too hard to pick one. Floating Coast, for sure, also @KerriArsenault's Mill Town, Lucas Bessire's Running Out, Anna Tsing's Mushroom at the End of the World. And Sven Lindquist's History of Bombing. That's for books. Essays? Still thinking about @rebecca_altman's Orion piece
