Introduction: snow in the desert -- Mornings in New Mexico -- House of the moon -- In the shadow of the Black Mesa -- Water in the desert -- A walk in the woods -- Where the river bends -- Conclusion: neighbors.
Over the last decade the West has undergone a political and demographic upheaval comparable only to the opening of the frontier.
