by Sue Boggio and Mare Pearl
"There are no chiles like those grown in the heart of New Mexico. In A Growing Season, Sue Boggio and Mare Pearl bring to life the deeply rooted traditions and wonderfully diverse community that sows and harvests this amazing fruit-even as drought, economic fragility, and human greed threaten it year by year."

Thinking Like a Watershed points our understanding of our relationship to the land in new directions. It is shaped by the bioregional visions of the great explorer John Wesley Powell, who articulated the notion that the arid American West should be seen as a mosaic of watersheds, and the pioneering ecologist Aldo Leopold, who put forward the concept of bringing conscience to bear within the realm of "the land ethic."
CITY OF SLOW DISSOLVE
by John Chávez
"When city and self merge, poet John Chávez begins his magic: to build the child under our eyes. The child is both cityscape and self under scrutiny, 'clearly disciplined & put to repair.' The child is parent and body, both the painted canvas and the revealed photograph. Watch this miracle of consciousness unfold in City of Slow Dissolve. Rejoice in our chance to reappraise and reinvent, even recover, our human identity, even our souls, through Chávez's art."-Hilda Raz, Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series editor

 SAVED IN TIME: The Fight to Establish Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Colorado
by Estella B. Leopold and Herbert W. Meyer

It is a true story with a happy ending (unless you're a real estate developer)."-Jack Loeffler, author of Adventures with Ed: A Portrait of Abbey
