As a curmudgeonly, irreverent desert rat, Mike Branch shares his stubborn enthusiasm for the constant struggle to tough out living in an unforgiving landscape. In this collection of short, comic rants he explores various aspects of life in the remote, high- elevation, western Nevada Great Basin desert. Ranging in topic from natural history (bees hiving in the walls of the house, flying ants filling the chimney, owls trying to eat the cat), parenting (raising two daughters in a wild, inaccessible place), eccentric neighbors (road captain, mail carrier, drunken Mary Kay Lady), and adventures in the surrounding canyons, playas, and mountains, Rants from the Hill offers a humorous and fun glimpse into what domestic life looks like out in the wild"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Branch, Michael P. $0 http://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85056601. $x Homes and haunts $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh99005711 $z Great Basin. $0 http://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85056601. 600 10 $a Branch, Michael P. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh00005743. $x Family. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh00005743. 650 0 $a Wilderness areas $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85056601. $z Great Basin. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85056601. 650 0 $a Deserts $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85056601. $z Great Basin. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85056601. 650 0 $a Parenting $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85056601. $z Great Basin. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85056601. 650 0 $a Natural history $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85056601. $z Great Basin. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85056601. 650 7 $a HUMOR / Form / Essays. $2 bisacsh. 650 7 $a NATURE / Essays. $2 bisacsh. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh. 651 0 $a Great Basin $0 http://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008851. $x Social life and customs. $0 http://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008851. 651 0 $a Nevada $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2001008851. $x Social life and customs. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2001008851. 651 0 $a Great Basin $0 http://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001278. $x Description and travel. $0 http://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001278. 651 0 $a Nevada $x Description and travel. $0 http://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85091237. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026047. 700 1 $a Branch, Michael P. $t Raising wild. 941 $a 3 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012333.0 952 $l SWPB522 $d 20240229011633.0 952 $l KTPC296 $d 20220608010424.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4CB819A47B5111EC8DE2B2F735ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
