Product Description
Location, location, location. Much of our lives is spelled out in spatial relationships and physical placement. Specifics of site determine the menu and relative abundance of food for birds, the mating possibilities, the materials available for building nests. The great distances of the frontier West gave rise to another kind of nest, the early trading posts, and encouraged them to become self-contained worlds, cabin-sized embassies of commerce on the foreign soil of native reservations.
"Dwellings" by Linda Hogan
Essayist Linda Hogan explores the idea of home, shelter, and dwelling in a fearless archipelago of images, extending the theme into unexpected regions of reverie.
"Spirit Guides, Prayer Feathers, and Omens of Darkness: Endangered Birds of the Colorado Plateau" by Steven W. Carothers6

"The Trading Post:Roadhouse of Culture with a Portfolio of Palladium Prints" by Paula Jansen
Paula Jansen paints with silver and light on paper. Her photographic prints, each a singular work, have timeless faces and surprising depth. We recall the multi-dimensional aspects of life in the tiny outposts called trading posts, strung like space stations across the vast West, with a portfolio of palladium images.
"Perry Mesa, A 14th-Century Gated Community in Central Arizona" by David R. Wilcox, Gerald Robertson, Jr. and J. Scott Wood, aerial photography by Jerry Jacka
In the mid-14th century, inhabitants of central Arizona built a constellation of settlements whose locations tell a fascinating story. The relationships between land and settlement, and between one settlement and another, are a tangible expression of fear and aggression, of cooperation and unity.
