Welcome to the land of wildfire, hypothermia, desiccation, and rattlers.The stark and inhospitable high-elevation landscape of Nevada's Great Basin Desert may not be an obvious (or easy) place to settle down, but for self-professed desert rat Michael Branch it's home. Of course, living in such an unforgiving landscape gives one many things to rant about. Fortunately for us, Branch—humorist, environmentalist, and author of Raising Wild—is a prodigious ranter.From bees hiving in the walls of his house to owls trying to eat his daughters's cat—not to mention his eccentric neighbors—adventure, humor, and irreverence abound on Branch's small slice of the world, which he lovingly calls Ranting Hill.
