Praise for the book “The Desert Underground”
“This is one of the most amazing and impactful presentations I’ve ever seen or read. The passion for communicating this amazing story is evident throughout. [Kobaly has] taken a complex topic and conveyed it in terms that are sure to have an affect on the audience. The artwork and the text really work in concert to take what might otherwise be a dense and bookish topic and make it come alive for the average person.”

“Congratulations to Robin Kobaly on making desert soils intriguing. This book contains a broad array of technically accurate information, and it drew me into the fascinating underground world with colorful examples and metaphors. It is heartening to know that there are such talented and committed people working to protect our desert landscapes by raising awareness about the importance of living soils. Brava! ”
