The Anthropology of Turquoise : Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky (Pulitzer Prize Finalist)

Integrating elements of memoir, adventure, and natural history, the author of Raven's Exile explores the mysteries of the natural world, using turquoise, both the color and the gem, as a metaphor, journeying to a rich variety of canyons, deserts, seas, and mountains and the plants and animals that make such habitats their home.
