Drawing on the archives of twenty-five cactus obsessives–from PhD botanist to banker, art teacher to cancer researcher–this revised edition spans eighty years and features new and expanded descriptive notes for all 350+ photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFueled by whispers of ancient plants on forgotten hilltops in Brazil, legends of fields of living fossils deep in the arid deserts of Chile, these explorers’ relentless drive to find and document cactus in some of the most remote landscapes on earth has created an extraordinary collective body of photographic work, one which has rarely, if ever, been seen by the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e352 Pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures: 25.4 x 18.5 x 2.5 cm \/ 10 x 7.3 x 1.1 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Cactus Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44640400474286,"sku":"9781984859341","price":54.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0163\/9128\/files\/Xerophile-1.jpg?v=1708637384","url":"https:\/\/www.oldfaithfulshop.live\/products\/xerophile-revised-edition","provider":"Old Faithful Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
