The author records his quest to capture the vastmultiplicity of the American Southwest, From the Biosphere to the Mormons, from the deadly world of narcotraffickers to the secret lives of the coveertly Jewish conversos, he explores the many alteernative states of being that have staked their claim in the Southwest. It is a kaleidoscopic journey into themost complex andmyth-laden regjion of the American landscape and imagination. A mixdture of memory, anecdote, travel and research. The San Francisco Chronicle said it is ambitious in its range, urgent in its rage against environmental depredations and shrewd in its reading of the Southwest's "ethnohistoric resonances.
