Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth

Jim Steenburgh is professor of atmos-pheric science at the University of Utah. An avid backcountry and resort skier and creator of the popular blog Wasatch Weather Weenies, he is a lead-ing authority on mountain weather and snowstorms and led the award-winning numerical weather prediction team for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. His research on snow, winter storms, and forecasting has been featured by The Weather Channel, New York Times, USA Today, and Salt Lake Tribune.

uta h Stat e un I v e r S I t y Pr e S Snat u r a l hI S to ry

Utah has long claimed to have the greatest snow on Earth—the state itself has even trademarked the phrase. In Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth, Jim Steenburgh investigates Wasatch weather, expos-ing the myths, explaining the reality, and revealing how and why Utah's powder lives up to its reputa-tion. Steenburgh also examines ski and snowboard regions beyond Utah, making this book a meteo-rological guide to mountain weather and snow cli-mates around the world.

Chapters explore mountain weather, ava-lanches and snow safety, historical accounts of weather events and snow conditions, and the basics of climate and weather forecasting. Steenburgh explains what creates the best snow for skiing and snowboarding in accurate and accessible language and illustrates his points with 150 color photo-graphs, making Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth a helpful tool for planning vacations and staying safe during mountain adventures. Snowriders, weather enthusiasts, meteorologists, students of snow science, and anyone who dreams of deep powder and bluebird skies will want to get their gloves on Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth.

A native of the American West, James Whiteside is a retired history profes-sor living in Denver. He is the author

of two previous books on the West, was awarded the Colorado Historical

Society’s Leroy R. Hafen Award (1985) and the Colorado Endowment for the Humanities Publication Prize (1999),

and was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award (2000).

un I v e r S I t y Pr e S S o F co l o r a d o

In Old Blue’s Road, historian James Whiteside shares accounts of his motorcycle adventures across the American West. He details the places he has seen, the people he has met, and the personal musings those encounters prompted on his unique journeys of discovery.

In 2005, Whiteside bought a Harley Davidson Heritage Softail, christened it “Old Blue,” and set off on a series of far-reaching motorcycle adven-tures. Over six years he traveled more than 15,000 miles. Part travelogue and part histori-cal tour, this book takes the reader along for the ride. Whiteside’s travels to the Pacific Northwest, Yellowstone, Dodge City, Santa Fe, Wounded Knee, and many other locales prompt consideration of myriad topics—the ongoing struggle between Indian and mainstream American culture, the meaning of community, the sustainability of the West’s hydraulic society, the creation of the national parks system, the Mormon experience in Utah, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and more.

Delightfully funny and insightful, Old Blue’s Road links the colorful history and vibrant present from Whiteside’s unique vantage point, recogniz-ing and reflecting on the processes of change that made the West what it is today. The book will inter-est the general reader and western historian alike, leading to new appreciation for the complex ways in which the American West’s past and present come together.

“By fleshing out stories behind places he visits on the back of his motorcy-cle, Whiteside illustrates repeatedly the importance of delving deeper into the world around us, under-standing as best we can the nuances that created modern life as experi-enced at the places where we choose to preserve pieces of our past and in what ways we choose to interpret that past.”

A Prehistory of South America

Jerry D. Moore is professor of anthro-pology at California State University, Dominguez Hills. He has conducted archaeological research in Peru, Mexico, and Southern California and is the author of the 2013 SAA Book Award winner A Prehistory of Home and the textbook Visions of Culture: An Introduction to Anthropological Theories and Theorists.

un I v e r S I t y Pr e S S o F co l o r a d oar c h a e o l o g y

A Prehistory of South America is an overview of the ancient and historic native cultures of the entire continent of South America based on the most recent archaeological investigations. This acces-sible, clearly written text is designed to engage undergraduate and begining graduate students in anthropology.

For more than 12,000 years, South American cultures ranged from mobile hunters and gather-ers to rulers and residents of colossal cities. In the process, native South American societies made advancements in agriculture and economic systems and created great works of art—in pottery, textiles, precious metals and stone—that still awe the mod-ern eye. Organized in broad chronological periods, A Prehistory of South America explores these diverse human achievements, emphasizing the many adap-tations of peoples from a continent-wide perspec-tive. Moore examines the archaeologies of societies across South America, from the arid deserts of the Pacific coast and the frigid Andean highlands to the humid lowlands of the Amazon Basin and the fjords of Patagonia and beyond.

Illustrated in full color and suitable for an edu-cated general reader interested in the Precolumbian peoples of South America, A Prehistory of South America is a long-overdue addition to the literature on South American archaeology.

Ancient Cultural Diversity on the Least Known Continent

Jerry D. Moore

“There is no other text with a similar level of detail and at the same time is in keeping with a broad view of the richness of South American past peoples’ diversity. This is an excellent book for students, teachers, and anyone with an interest in the fascinating study of the archaeology of South America.”

—auguSto oyuela-caycedo, University of Florida

“This is the text most of us who teach South American prehistory have been waiting for.”

T. Scott Bryan was a seasonal employee at Yellowstone National Park from

1970 through 1986. In addition to his studies in Yellowstone, he has been to geyser fields throughout the contigu-ous United States, Mexico, Japan, Fiji,

New Zealand, and the Valley of Geysers on the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia,

leading the first-ever US study group there in 1991. Betty Tucker-Bryan is

the founder of the Death Valley Hikers Association and has written numerous

books and articles on the outdoors.


Originally published in 1995, soon after Death Valley National Park became the fifty-third park in the US park system, The Explorer's Guide to Death Valley National Park was the first complete guide-book available for this spectacular area.

Now in its third edition, this is still the only book that includes all aspects of the park. Much more than just a guidebook, it covers the park’s cul-tural history, botany and zoology, hiking and biking opportunities, and more. Information is provided for all of Death Valley’s visitors, from first-time travelers just learning about the area to those who are returning for in-depth explorations.

The book includes updated point-to-point logs for every road within and around the park, as well as more accurate maps than those in any other pub-lication. With extensive input from National Park Service resource management, law enforcement, and interpretive personnel, as well as a thorough bibliography for suggested reading, The Explorer’s Guide to Death Valley National Park, Third Edition is the most up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive guide available for this national treasure.

Gambling Debt

E. Paul Durrenberger is emeritus professor of anthropology from the University of Iowa and Penn State University. Gisli Palsson is professor of anthropology at the University of Iceland and visiting professor at King’s College, London.

un I v e r S I t y Pr e S S o F co l o r a d oan t h r o P o l o g y

Gambling Debt is a game-changing contribution to the discussion of economic crises and neoliberal financial systems and strategies. Iceland’s 2008 financial collapse was the first case in a series of meltdowns, a warning of danger in the global order. This full-scale anthropology of financialization and the economic crisis broadly discusses this momen-tous bubble and burst and places it in theoreti-cal, anthropological, and global historical context through descriptions of the complex developments leading to it and the larger social and cultural implications and consequences.

Chapters from anthropologists, sociologists, historians, economists, and key local partici-pants focus on the neoliberal policies—mainly the privatization of banks and fishery resources—that concentrated wealth among a select few, skewed the distribution of capital in a way that Iceland had never experienced before, and plunged the coun-try into a full-scale economic crisis. Gambling Debt significantly raises the level of understanding and debate on the issues relevant to financial crises, painting a portrait of the meltdown from many points of view—from bankers to schoolchildren, from fishers in coastal villages to the urban poor and immigrants, and from artists to philosophers and other intellectuals.

This book is for anyone interested in financial troubles and neoliberal politics as well as students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, economics, philosophy, political science, business, and ethics.

“When Luisa Igloria cites Epictetus—‘as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place’—she introduces the crowded and contradictory world her poems portray: a realm of transience, yes, where the vulnerable come to harm and everything disappears, but also a scene of tremendous, unpredictable bounty, the gloriously hued density this poet loves to detail. ‘I was raised / to believe not only the beautiful can live on / Parnassus,’ she tells us, and she makes it true, by including in the cyclonic swirl of her poems practically everything: a gorgeous, troubling over-brimming universe.”

Songs

The poems in Derek Henderson’s Songs are “trans-lations” of a film cycle of the same name, shot by American filmmaker Stan Brakhage (1933–2003) to document his and his family’s life in Colorado in the mid-1960s. Where Brakhage’s films pro-vide a subjective visual record of his experience bewildered by the eye, these poems let language bewilder the space a reader enters through the ear. Henderson tenders the visual experience of Brakhage’s films—films of the domestic and the wild, the private and political, the local and global—into language that insists on the ultimate incapacity of language—or of image—to fully docu-ment the comfort and the violence of intimacy. Songs expresses the ecstasy we so often experience in the company of family, but it just as urgently attests to ecstasy’s turbulent threat to family’s sta-bility. Like Brakhage’s films, Henderson’s poems carry across into language and find family in every moment, even the broken ones, all of them abound-ing in hope.

Through epistolary essays and poems, American Book Award–and Colorado Book Award–winning author and poet Aaron A. Abeyta captures the soul of the cultural and geographical crossroads of the driest quadrant in the nation, the Colorado head-waters, source to all the rivers in the southwest-ern and mid-western United States. Originating from and expanding on the themes of twenty-five years of “Headwaters” conferences at Western State Colorado University, these essays and poems embrace the region’s past while also exploring the struggles of a present that seeks a sustainable future for the borderlands that define the very cross-cul-tural essence of the American experience.

Different Roads is the third volume in Western Press Books’ literary anthology series, Manifest West. The press, affili-ated with with Western State Colorado University, annu-ally produces one anthology focused on Western regional writing. The 2014 theme is Western diversity.

The works in this anthology reflect both the myth and the truth about the part of the United States we call the “West.” Is there one “true” West? Or have the changes that are overwhelming most of the rest of the country so modified the West that there is little commonality? The editors of Different Roads believe, with Stephen R. Covey, that our “strength lies in differences, not in similarities” and are con-stantly amazed by what Stanley Baldwin calls “the many-sidedness of truth.” Many sides of the truth of the West are represented in the anthology. Is everything here absolutely the truth? The reader must decide.

Science, Bread, and Circuses

Gregory Schrempp is professor of folk-lore and director of Mythology Studies at Indiana University and author of The Ancient Mythology of Modern Science and Magical Arrows: The Maori, the Greeks, and the Folklore of the Universe.

uta h Stat e un I v e r S I t y Pr e S SFo l k l o r e

In Science, Bread, and Circuses, Gregory Schrempp brings a folkloristic viewpoint to the topic of popu-lar science, calling attention to the persistence of folkloric form, idiom, and worldview within the increasingly important dimension of popular con-sciousness defined by the impact of science.

Schrempp considers specific examples of texts in which science interpreters employ folkloric tropes—myths, legends, epics, proverbs, spectacles, and a variety of gestures from religious traditions—to lend credibility and appeal to their messages. In each essay he explores an instance of science popu-larization rooted in the quotidian round: variations of proverb formulas in monumental measurements, invocations of science heroes like saints or other inspirational figures, the battle of mythos and logos in parenting and academe, the meme’s involvement in quasi-religious treatments of the problem of evil, and a range of other tropes of folklore drafted to serve the exposition of science.

Science, Bread, and Circuses places the relation-ship of science and folklore at the very center of folkloristic inquiry by exploring a range of attempts to rephrase and thus domesticate scientific findings and claims in folklorically imbued popular forms.

Remembering the Dead in the Ancient Near East

Benjamin W. Porter is assistant pro-fessor of Near Eastern archaeology in

the University of California, Berkeley’s Near Eastern Studies Department and

a curator of Near Eastern archaeol-ogy at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. Alexis T. Boutin is

associate professor of anthropology and coordinator of the Cultural Resources Management MA program at Sonoma

State University.

un I v e r S I t y Pr e S S o F co l o r a d o ar c h a e o l o g y

Remembering the Dead in the Ancient Near East is among the first comprehensive treatments to pres-ent the diverse ways in which ancient Near Eastern civilizations memorialized and honored their dead, using mortuary rituals, human skeletal remains, and embodied identities as a window into the memory work of past societies.

In six case studies, teams of researchers with different skillsets—osteological analysis, faunal analysis, culture history and the analysis of writ-ten texts, and artifact analysis—integrate mortu-ary analysis with bioarchaeological techniques. Drawing upon different kinds of data, including human remains, ceramics, jewelry, spatial analysis, and faunal remains found in burial sites from across the region’s societies, the authors paint a robust and complex picture of death in the ancient Near East.

Demonstrating the still underexplored poten-tial of bioarchaeological analysis in ancient societ-ies, Remembering the Dead in the Ancient Near East serves as a model for using multiple lines of evi-dence to reconstruct commemoration practices. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian societies, the archaeology of death and burial, bioarchaeology, and human skeletal biology.

She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in composition and literature, and her scholarship has been published in Rhetoric Review; The Writing Lab Newsletter; Reader: Essays in Reader-Oriented Theory, Criticism, and Pedagogy; Feminist Teacher; Currents in Teaching and Learning; and in several edited collections.

“This is a lovely and important book. Looking at the history of post-secondary literacy instruction and our present practices, Ellen Carillo makes a compelling case for how and why reading can and should have a place in composition.”

Securing a Place for Reading in Composition

Securing a Place for Reading in Composition addresses the dissonance between the need to prepare stu-dents to read, not just write, complex texts and the lack of recent scholarship on reading-writing connections. Author Ellen C. Carillo argues that including attention-to-reading practices is cru-cial for developing more comprehensive literacy pedagogies. Students who can read actively and reflectively will be able to work successfully with the range of complex texts they will encounter throughout their post-secondary academic careers and beyond.

Considering the role of reading within com-position from both historical and contemporary perspectives, Carillo makes recommendations for the productive integration of reading instruction into first-year writing courses. She details a “mind-ful reading” framework wherein instructors help students cultivate a repertoire of approaches upon which they consistently reflect as they apply them to various texts. This metacognitive frame allows students to become knowledgeable and deliberate about how they read and gives them the opportu-nity to develop the skills useful for moving among reading approaches in mindful ways, thus pre-paring them to actively and productively read in courses and contexts outside first-year composition.

Securing a Place for Reading in Composition also explores how the field of composition might begin to effectively address reading, including conduct-ing research on reading, revising outcome state-ments, and revisiting the core courses in graduate programs.

Multilingual Writers and Writing Centers

and TESOL (Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages) pro-

tive officer for the International Writing Centers Association and is a recipient

of the Ron Maxwell Award from the National Conference on Peer Tutoring

in Writing.

Multilingual writers—often graduate students with more content knowledge and broader cul-tural experience than a monolingual tutor—unbalance the typical tutor/client relationship and pose a unique challenge for the writing center. Multilingual Writers and Writing Centers explores how directors and tutors can better prepare for the growing number of one-to-one conferences with these multilingual writers they will increasingly encounter in the future.

This much-needed addition of second language acquisition (SLA) research and teaching to the lit-erature of writing center pedagogy draws from SLA literature; a body of interviews Rafoth conducted with writing center directors, students, and tutors; and his own decades of experience. Well-grounded in daily writing center practice, the author identifies which concepts and practices directors can borrow from the field of SLA to help tutors respond to the needs of multilingual writers, what directors need to know about these concepts and practices, and how tutoring might change in response to changes in student populations.

Multilingual Writers and Writing Centers is a call to invigorate the preparation of tutors and directors for the negotiation of the complexities of multilin-gual and multicultural communication.
