Summary: "Saguaro National Monument, Arizona" by Napier Shelton, based on an earlier work by Natt N. Dodge, is a natural history publication written in the early 1970s. This book aims to provide readers with insights into the relationships between the land, climate, and flora and fauna of the Saguaro National Monument, focusing largely on its unique desert environment. The text explores distinctive natural communities, the impact of climate, and the ecology of the notable giant saguaro cactus, emphasizing the interplay of various species and their adaptations to harsh conditions. At the start of the book, Shelton introduces the reader to the expansive Sonoran Desert and its geographic features, highlighting the Saguaro National Monument's significance. The author describes both the Rincon Mountain and Tucson Mountain sections of the monument, specifying their elevation ranges, biodiversity, and the environmental gradients that influence the diverse plant and animal communities found there. Furthermore, he sets the stage for a deeper examination of the desert's intricate ecosystems, encouraging an understanding of the delicate balance between the region's inhabitants and their environment.
