House of Rain: Tracking a Vanished Civilization Across the American Southwest
ISBN: 9780316067546 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this landmark work on the Anasazi tribes of the Southwest, naturalist Craig Childs dives head on into the mysteries of this vanished people.
The various tribes that made up the Anasazi people converged on Chaco Canyon (New Mexico) during the 11th century to create a civilization hailed as "the Las Vegas of its day," a flourishing cultural center that attracted pilgrims from far and wide, and a vital crossroads of the prehistoric world. By the 13th century, however, Chaco's vibrant community had disappeared without a trace. Was it drought? Pestilence? War?... In this landmark work on the Anasazi tribes of the Southwest, naturalist Craig Childs dives head on into the mysteries of this vanished people. |
