Book Description
With no written alphabet, records of the Southwest Native Americans were kept in the form of either petroglyphs or pictographs on rock surfaces. By examining their symbolism, we are able to gain significant insight of their existence, a deeper understanding of their spiritual and ceremonial beliefs, and a glimpse into their daily lives. Hundreds of such sites exist and are scattered throughout the world with some of the most artistic ones located in the Mountainair, New Mexico, region. Today, this area is referred to as the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument and the "gateway to ancient cities."

Book Description
This morning I am contemplating how we humans, awkwardly tangled in dreams of salvation, struggle to lend meaning to a physical world that is most often brutally indifferent. It may be that the one thing of substantial power left to us is our own imagination. Thus begins the story of a road trip up the West Coast of North America; a journey which comes to a dramatic conclusion months later in Mexico. A unique look at the nature of prayer, the power of dreams, and the risks and rewards we all face imagining ourselves into the world, 'about art' is the memoir of one artist's quest to understand the life he has lived.

Book Description
In sheer number of sites, the rock art of the Southwest is without equal in North America. Signs of Life takes the reader on a rock art tour of the upper portion of the Rio Grande drainage, that portion from the Colorado/New Mexico border southward to just below El Paso, Texas. Sites are discussed in natural geomorphic, cultural and stylistic contexts. One section of the book is devoted to sites with public access. Altogether, Signs of Life is the most complete compendium of rock art along the Rio Grande that has ever been published. Should be a required text in archaeological classes....Signs is just a great comprehensive overview of Rock Art.--Mike Laverde, president, El Paso Archaeological Society
