The Anthropology of Turquoise
by Ellen Meloy
In this invigorating mix of natural history and adventure, turquoise—the color and the gem—is used to probe deeper into our profound human attachment to landscape. From the Sierra Nevada, the Mojave Desert, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Bahamas to her home ground on the high plateaus and deep canyons of the Southwest, we journey with author through vistas of both great beauty and great desecration.
