As the U.S. grapples with rising temperatures and drought conditions due to climate change, a new book from journalist Kyle Paoletta - native of New Mexico - looks at how cities in the Southwest could be a model of resilience in the future.
The book - “American Oasis: Finding the Future in the Cities of the Southwest” - explores how the region’s history and culture could serve as a guiding light for the future of the environment in places like the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas.
Marfa Public Radio recently spoke with Paoletta about the book.
