Hot, arid, and uninhabited, the western Midriff Islands lie in the Gulf of California, surrounded by an often treacherous sea. Given these conditions, why would ancient people go there, and why would anybody go there today? Thomas Bowen addresses these questions in the first comprehensive history of these islands.

Presents historical and archaeological evidence for human use of 32 major Gulf islands, demonstrating that native people may have played a significant role in shaping island ecosystems. It also shows the traditional assumption that most islands were beyond the range of native people is incorrect - Indians knew and exploited nearly every significant island in the Gulf.
