Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The beauty of the canyons and mesas of the Colorado Plateau and the lives of the resourceful people that once occupied these now nearly empty places are the subject of the eighty-five black-and-white photographs and accompanying essays in Canyon Spirits. John Ninnemann's photographs of Chaco, Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, Cedar Mesa, Grand Gulch, and the San Juan River provide the visual context for Stephen Lekson's descriptions of the early Puebloan cultures of the Southwest and J. McKim Malville's consideration of the power of celestial events in the lives of these people. Together they provide a non-traditional, provocative, and visually exciting approach to Southwest archaeology.

Book News Annotation:

Both the haunting black-and-white photographs and the informed essays in this volume bring an immediacy to the world of ancient Publoans. The photographs of the ruins and their environments often give the impression that the structures were only recently abandoned. Essays by Lekson (archeologist and curator at the U. of Colorado, Boulder, Museum of Natural History) and Malville (astrophysics and planetary sciences, U. of Colorado, Boulder) explain Puebloan architecture, subsistence and art.
