A Desert By Any Other Name

I had a new article in Sunday’s San Francisco Chronicle Magazine. Entitled “A Desert By Any Other Name“, it explores a single mystery: Why has Peru’s vast and beautiful coastal desert remained nameless and virutally unknown — not only to South America travelers, but to the very people who live there?

For those who don’t get the Sunday Chronicle magazine, an online version of the article is here.
