The provocative, colorful history of Ogden’s notorious 25th Street
Generations of Ogdenites have grown up absorbing 25th Street’s legends of corruption, menace, and depravity. The rest of Utah has tended to judge Ogden—known in its first century as a “gambling hell” and tenderloin, and in recent years as a degraded skid row—by the street’s gaudy reputation. Present-day Ogden embraces the afterglow of 25th Street’s decadence and successfully promotes it to tourists. In the same preservationist spirit as Denver’s Larimer Square, today’s 25th Street is home to art galleries, fine dining, live theater, street festivals, mixed-use condominiums, and the Utah State Railroad Museum.
25th Street Confidential traces Ogden’s transformation from quiet hamlet to chaotic transcontinental railroad junction as waves of non-Mormon fortune seekers swelled the city’s population. The street’s outsized role in Ogden annals illuminates larger themes in Utah and U.S. history. Most significantly, 25th Street was a crucible of Mormon-Gentile conflict, especially after the non-Mormon Liberal Party deprived its rival, the People’s Party, of long- standing control of Ogden’s municipal government in 1889. In the early twentieth-century the street was targeted in statewide Progressive Era reform efforts, and during Prohibition it would come to epito-mize the futility of liquor abatement programs.
This first full-length treatment of Ogden’s rowdiest road spot-lights larger-than-life figures whose careers were entwined with the street: Mayor Harman Ward Peery, who unabashedly filled the city treasury with fees and fines from vicious establish-ments; Belle London, the most successful madam in Utah history; and Rosetta Ducinnie Davie, the heiress to London’s legacy who became a celebrity on the street, in the courts, and in the press. Material from previously unexploited archives and more than one hundred historic photos enrich this narrative of a turbulent but unforgettable street.

S ince the late 1800s, when professional fos-
sil hunters vied with each other to bring the
largest and most complete specimens to the
museum market, Utah has been one of the most fer-
tile grounds for dinosaur discovery. Because rock
from the Mesozoic era covers more than 25,000
square miles in Utah, the state is a natural museum
of the great age of dinosaurs. The presence of sites
such as Dinosaur National Park and the Cleveland-
Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry underline Utah’s ongoing
paleontological significance. There are probably more
paleontologists residing and working in Utah now
than at any time in the past, and the state even has
an official dinosaur, the Allosaurus.

An updated edition of the popular work that has enchanted and educated all ages about dinosaurs in Utah
Dinosaurs of Utah is an ambitious book bridging the gap between the voluminous technical literature on Utah’s Mesozoic era and the numerous publications that describe dinosaurs at the elementary level. “Utah” dinosaurs are presented here as part of the Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems that evolved in the Colorado Plateau region and are discussed in the context of the changing landscapes, envi-ronments, and biota recorded in the geological record.
More than one hundred of author Frank DeCourten’s meticulous line drawings illustrate fossil remains and various features of dino-saur anatomy, as do five stunning paintings by Carel Brest van Kempen. More than forty color landscape photographs by John Telford and Frank DeCourten show modern geologic contexts in most parts of the state and emphasize the dynamic nature of the region’s geologic history. There is also a series of detailed maps, including several new to this edition, that show the tremendous topographical shifts that occurred within the Mesozoic era from the early Triassic to the late Cretaceous periods, a span of over 175 million years.
This second edition of Dinosaurs of Utah enlivens our understand-ing of these amazing vanished creatures by explaining them and their world to us. It moves beyond the often superficial represen-tations that have been so prevalent and more accurately portrays the variety of dinosaurs that once roamed the region now known as Utah.
FRANK DECOURtEN is a professor and chair in the department of earth sciences at Sierra College in Grass Valley, California, and is the author of The Broken Land: Adventures in Great Basin Geology (The University of Utah Press, 2003).

Never-before-published photos highlight the cap-tivating tale of building a railroad in the harsh conditions of the Amazon
When construction of the Madeira-Mamoré Railroad began in 1867, Bolivia had lost its war with Chile, causing it to become land-locked and unable to ship its minerals and other products from the Pacific Coast. Since Bolivia needed to find a way to move products from the Atlantic Coast, the government decided a rail-road should be built around the Madeira River—which origi-nates in Bolivia and travels almost 2,000 miles through Brazil to the Amazon—facilitating shipment to foreign markets via the Amazonian waterway. Completion of the railroad was initially stalled by lack of funding, but the project was resurrected in the early twentieth century and completed in 1912. Intended as an integral piece of the rubber export industry, the railroad became unnecessary once the world supply of rubber moved from Brazil to Asia.
Although there have been many brief chronicles and writings about the Madeira-Mamoré Railroad over the years, most barely scratch the surface of this incredible story. Of particular import in Tracks in the Amazon are the photographs—which until now have rarely been seen—taken by Dana Merrill, a New York pho-tographer hired to document the construction of the railroad. It also includes reproductions of the Porto Velho Marconigram, an English-language newspaper written for and by the American expatriates who lived in the construction headquarters at Porto Velho. Because this unique railroad traversed the densest tropi-cal jungle on earth, more than 10,000 workers lost their lives laying the first five miles of track. The images and descriptions of the life of the workers on the railroad illustrate the challenges of working in the jungles—the unforgiving climate, malaria and yellow fever-bearing mosquitoes, and the threat of wild animals—which made conditions for the workers next to impossible.

An engaging storyteller brings to life true stories from Grand Canyon’s human history
The Grand Canyon—long recognized as one of North America’s premier natural wonders—has stirred human imagination and cre-ativity, leaving an indelible mark on all who have encountered its spectacular vistas and intricate landscapes. Stories of the canyon’s early inhabitants to its modern day visitors are as varied and deep as the canyon’s cliffs.
In 1928 astronomer Edwin Hubble came to the canyon to test it as a site for the world’s greatest observatory. In the 1960s the Apollo astronauts hiked into the canyon to learn geology in prep-aration for lunar explorations. Famous writers and poets have looked to the canyon to find the meanings of nature and God. Dreamers turned a 1909 newspaper hoax into an elaborate myth about ancient Egyptian tombs in the canyon. Canyon of Dreams tells these and other stories, including that of Brighty the burro, who inspired a classic children’s novel, and the story of a teenaged Roger Miller, who spent a summer living in a trailer and “pushin’ broom” at the canyon, leading to his song “King of the Road.” Newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst’s fight against the National Park Service to retain property he owned on the canyon rim is another illuminating tale. Despite being little known in the official annals of Grand Canyon history, the fight served as a piv-otal moment in the much broader struggle between promoters of wilderness conquest and those advocating for preservation.
This eclectic compilation runs the gamut from the idiosyncratic to the landmark, the mythical to the empirical, and everything in between. The narratives are captivating and sure to appeal to readers interested in the Grand Canyon’s long and complex his-tory. The work is thoroughly researched and will prove a valuable contribution to historical scholarship. Canyon of Dreams sheds light on many obscure aspects of the canyon and takes readers on rollicking adventures in the process.

DON lAGO has spent twenty-five years exploring the Grand Canyon, having kay-aked it six times and backpacked it more than sixty times. He has extensively researched Grand Canyon history and has made archaeological discoveries during his years of backcountry research. Lago is the author of numerous articles and of the bestselling book, Grand Canyon Trivia.
“The author presents here—largely for the first time—several independent narratives that relate to historical events at Grand Canyon. What makes them stand out from all previous works is that most of the nar-ratives embrace events that are little known, incompletely known, or known previously only through undocumented oral tradition. With respect to other works in its field, Lago’s work is unique.”

Saints ObservedStudies of Mormon Village Life, 1850–2005
Howard M. Bahr
The most complete overview and assessment of Mormon village studies available, this volume extends the canon twofold. First, it presents a rich composite view of nineteenth-century Mormon life in the West as seen by qualified observers who did not just pass through but stopped and studied. Second, it connects that early protoethnography to scholarly Mormon village studies in the twentieth century, showing their proper context in the thriving field of community studies. Based mostly on nine famous travelers’ accounts of life among the Mormons, including Richard Burton, Elizabeth Kane, Howard Stansbury, John Gunnison, and Julius Brenchley—Bahr’s volume introduces these talented observers, summarizes and analyzes their observation, and constructs a holistic overview of Mormon village life. He concludes by tracing the rise and continuity of Mormon village studies in the twentieth century, beginning with Lowry Nelson’s 1923 research in Escalante, Utah. Over the following three decades, the genre expanded beyond Nelson and his students, becoming more sophisticated and interdisciplinary; by the mid-1950s it was a subfield within the respected arena of community studies. Researchers continued to study Mormon communities in the following decades and into the twenty-first century.

Saints Observed: Studies of Mormon Village Life, 1850–2005 serves as a comprehensive introduction to this second volume, which makes available four of the best Mormon village studies, all previ-ously unpublished. These postwar village studies differ substan-tially from earlier village studies initiated by Nelson’s work and offer in-depth investigations by observers who lived and partici-pated in village life. Together, they capture in rich detail the day-to-day life of mid-century Mormon villagers. Editor Howard Bahr’s afterword highlights changes in the four villages across the past half-century, drawing upon recent site visits, interviews, and texts.

Latter-day Lore gathers nearly thirty seminal works in Mormon folklore scholarship from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to the present in order to highlight the depth, breadth, and richness of that scholarship. This examination of LDS folklore studies reveals theoretical, methodological, and topical shifts that also reflect shifts in the field at large. Areas for future research are also suggested.
The thorough introduction by the volume editors elucidates the major influences, tensions, and questions shaping the study of Mormon folklore. The book is divided into six parts according to major thematic and topical patterns. The extensive introductory essays preceding each of the six parts provide invaluable historical, cultural, and theoretical contexts to frame the studies that follow: society, symbols, and landscape of regional culture; formative customs and traditions; the sacred and the supernatural; pioneers, heroes, and the historical imagination; humor; and the international contexts of Mormon folklore.
While exploring the ground that scholars have covered over the past century, Eliason and Mould also illuminate those areas of LDS folklore that have been understudied, exposing fertile areas for future research. Providing the most up-to-date and comprehen-sive survey of Mormon folklore studies available, Latter-day Lore is an indispensible resource for students, scholars, and readers inter-ested in folklore, Mormon studies, anthropology, sociology, litera-ture, and religious studies.
“I applaud the editors for their work! It is certainly about time that someone has finally edited an anthology of Mormon folklore scholarship. The articles chosen for the volume are both fascinat-ing to read and useful pedagogically since they represent the work of many well-respected folklore scholars.”

The American Southwest is characterized by environmentally and culturally diverse landscapes, which include the northern Rio Grande valley as it cuts through north-central New Mexico from Taos to Albuquerque. The region has a long and rich history of anthropological research primarily focused on the archaeolog-ical remains found along this valley corridor. Only recently has research involving large-scale surveys and excavations been con-ducted on the nearby mesas and mountains that form the rug-ged margins of the river valley. From Mountain Top to Valley Bottom incorporates this new research into a perspective that links the ever-changing and complementary nature of lowland and upland land use.
The essays in this collection are unified by three specific themes: landscape, movement, and technology. Landscape involves the ecological backdrop of the northern Rio Grande valley, including past and present environments. Movement refers to the position-ing of people across the landscape along with the dynamic and fluid nature with which people—past and present—view their relationship with the “above” and “below.” Technology not only refers to the tools and facilities that past people may have used but to the organization of labor needed to cooperatively exploit a variety of subsistence resources and the exchange of products across the region. This volume provides both a cross section of current research from expert scholars and a broad perspective that seeks to integrate new data from lowland and upland contexts. From Mountain Top to Valley Bottom will appeal to those interested in obsidian source studies, geoarchaeology, past climatic regimes, foraging societies, early agriculture, ceramic technology, subsis-tence, early village formation, ethnogenesis, and historic multi-ethnic economies.

roads in the WildernessConflict in Canyon Country
Jedediah S. Rogers
The canyon country of southern Utah and northern Arizona—a celebrated desert of rock and sand punctuated by gorges and mesas—is a region hotly contested among vying and disparate interests, from industrial developers to wilderness preservation advocates. Roads are central to the conflicts raging in an area per-ceived as one of the last large roadless places in the continental United States. The canyon country in fact contains an extensive network of dirt trails and roads, many originally constructed under the authority of a one-sentence statute in an 1866 mining law, later known as R.S. 2477. While well-groomed and paved roads came to signify the industrialization of the modern age, twentieth-century conservationists have regarded roads as intrusive human imprints on the nation’s wild lands. Roads connect rural commu-nities, spur economic growth, and in some cases blend harmoni-ously into the landscape, but they also fracture and divide, disturb wildlife and habitat, facilitate industrial development, and spoil wilderness.
Rogers reflects on the meaning of roads amid environmental conflicts that continue to grip the canyon country. Transporting readers from road controversies like the infamous Burr Trail bat-tle to the contentious web of roads in Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument to off-roading in Arch Canyon, Rogers dem-onstrates how the conflicts are deeply rooted in history and cul-ture. The first permanent Anglo-American settlers in the region were Mormon pioneers and current views about land and resource use in southern Utah often derive from stories about how those pioneer ancestors defied wilderness to found their communities in the desert. Roads in the Wilderness will be of interest to environ-mentalists, historians, and those who live in the American West, challenging readers to think about the canyon country and the stories embedded in the land.
JEDEDIAH S. ROGERS received his PhD in American history from Arizona State University and is a historian with Historical Research Associates, Inc. in Missoula, Montana. He is editor of In the President’s Office: The Diaries of L. John Nuttall, 1879–1892, winner of the Evans Handcart Award from Utah State University and the Best Documentary Book Award from the Mormon History Association.
“A fresh and engaging contribution to environmental history, especially for its interpretation of the Mormon cultural her-itage as a driving force for the economic development of the Utah hinterlands. Rogers’s work shows how cultural impera-tives arising out of the nineteenth-century settlement period, including memories of the 1879 to 1880 Bluff–San Juan expe-dition, gave roads their lasting and sig-nificant meaning in the minds of many contemporary residents.”

The Prehistory of Gold Butte uses a theoretical perspective rooted in human behavior ecology and other foraging models to present the results of one of the largest and most comprehensive archae-ological investigations ever undertaken in southern Nevada, involving the systematic survey of more than 31,000 acres, the doc-umentation of more than 377 sites, and the excavation of nine pre-historic sites. Gold Butte—at the crossroads of the Mojave Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau in southern Nevada—has a 12,000-year record of human occupation with archaeological elements that can be traced to all three culture zones.
Dramatic developments occurred in this area of the Desert West. Farmers suddenly appeared in the Virgin River basin about 1,600 years ago. At such iconic sites as Lost City, Main Ridge, and Mesa House, full village and agricultural life developed over the span of a few hundred years only to completely vanish by AD 1250 after a series of droughts and other cultural disruptions. The Patayan held sway for several hundred years, between AD 1100 and 1500, but didn’t advance much beyond the Colorado River corridor. Finally, the Southern Paiute arrived and occupied not only the Virgin River basin and Gold Butte but much of the northwestern quadrant of the Southwest from at least the time of historic contact (AD 1500) to the present.
This mix of cultures illustrates historical contingency, in-place development, and external relationships that should be expected along a boundary area such as Gold Butte. By look-ing at hinterlands adjoining the prehistoric settlements that clustered along the Virgin River corridor before, during, and after the Puebloan period, the authors suggest that changes in settlement-subsistence and lifeways at core settlements along the riverine corridor have corresponding effects on the character and intensity of hinterland occupation.

Based on archaeological research in Colorado’s Middle Park—a high mountain basin initially encountered by Europeans in the early 1800s and occupied for centuries by the Ute people—The First Rocky Mountaineers is a prehistory of the earliest people of the region at the conclusion of the Ice Age. The Utes and their prede-cessors lived and thrived for 12,000 years in this high mountain set-ting, an environment that demanded unique adaptive strategies because of cold stress and hypoxic conditions. People of Middle Park coped with some of the most extreme conditions of any pre-historic population in North America, dealing with the stressors of high elevations and low temperatures by intensifying food acquisi-tion, constructing shelters, and tailoring sophisticated warm cloth-ing. The archaeological record of these early Coloradans, while still meager, provides a wealth of information about lifeways in the Rocky Mountain high country.
The first inhabitants of Rocky Mountain high country left a rich record of shelters, tools, and projectile points as well as food res-idues in the form of bison bone, all dating between 12,000 and 9,000 years ago. This record provides a robust database for inter-preting their lifeways and unique adaptations. Kornfeld offers the first treatment of the original Middle Park and Rocky Mountain human populations from a biocultural perspective. This approach suggests that both biological and cultural processes frame the outcome of a successful human adaptation. While such a process may be resisted by some anthropologists investigating low-eleva-tion groups, it is essential when trying to understand the dynamics of those living in the high country.

Archaeologists define stone artifacts that are altered by or used to alter other items through abrasion, pecking, or polishing as “ground stone.” This includes mortars and pestles, abraders, pol-ishers stones, and hammerstones, and artifacts shaped by abra-sion or pecking, such as axes, pipes, figurines, ornaments, and architectural pieces.
The first edition of Ground Stone Analysis sparked interest around the world. In the decade following its publication, there have been many advances in scientific technology and developments in eth-nographic and experimental research. The second edition incorpo-rates these advances, including examples of international research that have utilized a technological approach to ground stone anal-ysis. This study presents a flexible yet structured method for ana-lyzing and classifying stone artifacts. These techniques record important attributes based on design, manufacturing, and use and are applicable to any collection in the world.
The methods presented guide quantitative and qualitative assess-ments of artifacts and assemblages. Recording forms and instruc-tions for completing them will be available on the University of Utah Press’s open access portal at www.UofUpress.com. Ground Stone Analysis is an important, useful reference for any archaeo-logical field worker or student who encounters ground stone arti-facts and is interested in learning more about the people who used them.

Praise for the first edition:
“Adams is to be commended for hav-ing produced a well-organized and thor-oughly documented manual based on her own quarter-century of hard work and thoughtful deliberation. The book is worth careful study by anyone faced with description and interpretation of assem-blages of stone artifacts whose forms were created or altered by grinding, abrading, or polishing.”

California’s Channel Islands are a chain of eight islands that extend along the state’s southern coastline from Santa Barbara’s Point Conception to the Mexican border. Popular tourist destinations today, these islands once supported some of the earliest human populations in the Americas; archaeological evidence of maritime Paleo-Indian settlements on the northern islands dates back some 13,000 years. The indigenous peoples of the islands—the Chumash of the northern islands and the Tongva of the southern islands—thrived into historic times by relying upon the abundance and diversity of marine and terrestrial resources available to them. California’s Channel Islands presents a definitive archaeological investigation of these unique islands and their inhabitants, and is the first publication to discuss the islands and their peoples holisti-cally rather than individually or by subgroup.
Tracing the human occupation of the islands from the earliest set-tlement at the end of the Pleistocene by marine-adapted foragers with sophisticated stone tool technologies to the tragic story of historic depopulation continuing into the nineteenth cen-tury, contributors discuss topics including human settlement pat-terns on small and large scales, prehistoric trails, the use of plant resources, and ceremonialism. They also address the decisions that people made when confronted with diverse and changing envi-ronments. By focusing on distinct aspects of human relationships with California’s Channel Islands through time, they tell a story of settlement, subsistence, and ritual on the coastal edge of western North America.
This compendium of scholarship condenses decades of excavation and analysis into a single, illuminating volume that will be indis-pensable for those interested in the Channel Islands or New World history or archaeology.

Archaeology in the Great Basin and Southwest is a compilation of papers by friends and colleagues that honor Don D. Fowler. The volume encompasses the breadth and depth of Fowler’s work in archaeology and sister disciplines with original scholarship on the human past of the arid west. Included are theoretical, method-ological, and empirical papers that synthesize and present fresh perspectives on Great Basin and Southwest archaeology and cover a sweep of topics from Paleoindian research to collaboration with Native Americans. Fowler has continually reminded scholars that to understand the past we must know how the local and specific is regionally and transculturally contextualized, how what we know came to be recognized, studied, and interpreted—in short, how the past still affects the present—and how regional and topical archaeology is part of a disciplinary endeavor that is as concerned with rigorous and inclusive knowledge production as it is with site description and cultural syntheses.
Readers will learn about the nature of archaeological careers, how archaeology has been conceptualized and conducted, the strengths and limitations of past and present approaches, and the institution building and political processes in which archaeologists engage. Contributors posit new thoughts designed to stimulate new lines of research and reflect on the state of our current knowl-edge about a wealth of topics. Each paper asks four questions about what Great Basin and southwestern archaeologists currently know: Where have we been? Where are we now? What do we still need to learn? Where are we going? This comprehensive volume will be of interest to those practicing or teaching archaeology and to students seeking to understand the intricacies of Great Basin and Southwest archaeology.

The issue of religious authority has long fascinated and ignited scholars across a range of disciplines: history, anthropology, the sociology of religion, and political science. Religious Knowledge, Authority, and Charisma juxtaposes religious leadership in pre-modern and modern Islam with examples from the Judaic tradi-tion. By illustrating various iterations of authority in numerous historical and cultural contexts, this volume offers fresh insights into the nature of institutions of learning and other systems of establishing and disseminating authority, the mechanisms for cul-tivating committed adherents, and the processes by which reli-gious leadership is polarized and fragmented.
Contributors tease out the sources and types of authority that emerged out of the Sunni and Shiʾi milieu and the evolution of Muslim elites who served as formulators and disseminators of knowledge and practice. Comparative insights are provided by the examination of ideological and historical developments among Jewish sages who inculcated similar modes of authority from within their traditions. The rigorous exploration of the dynamic interface of knowledge and power in Islam and Judaism serves to highlight a number of present tensions common to both reli-gions. By intertwining a historical span that traces trajectories of continuity and change, integrative discussion of cross-sectional themes, and comparative perspectives, this volume makes a dis-tinct contribution.
“Makes a significant contribution to scholarship across several disciplines, including Islamic studies and Jewish studies, of course, but also history, anthropology, the sociology of religion, and political science.”

The Reza Ali Khazeni Lecture Series in Iranian Studies at the University of Utah began in 1995. Sponsored by the Reza Ali Khazeni Memorial Foundation, the Middle East Center, and the College of Humanities at the University of Utah, the lectures cover various aspects of Persian culture. This second volume in a mul-tivolume series includes lectures that explore Iran’s cultural and artistic achievements and help to create greater understanding of Iranian contributions to world civilization.
Beginning with the earliest origins of the Persian state and cul-ture, these lectures, primarily focusing on Persian literature and mysticism, cover 2,500 years of a glorious way of life. Poetry is part of the fabric of Iranian life, appreciated by all members of society regardless of educational background or social milieu. It is also the primary form in which Persian mysticism is expressed. Great poets such as Hafez, Sadi, and Rumi are guiding beacons for millions of Iranians. Over the millennia, more religions have sprung up in Iran than in any other country. Many have faded away, but the mystical vision has been constant in all of them and has been a persistent influence on Persian literature and culture for centuries.
PEtER J. CHElKOWSKI is a professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. He is the author of Ideology and Power in the Middle East; Ta’ziyah: Ritual and Drama in Iran; and Mirror of the Invisible World: Tales from the Khamseh of Nizami.

Horses of the West
America’s Love Story
Narrated by Ali MacGraw
Narrated by actress Ali MacGraw, Horses of the West: America’s
Love Story is an emotional journey filmed in the dramatic
landscapes of the American West. With segments about wild
horses, girls and their horses, rescue horses, Arabians, work-
ing cutting horses, thoroughbreds, Appaloosas, and therapy
horses, it celebrates the extraordinary bond between horses
and humans.
In Gunnison, Utah, state prison inmates work to gentle and
train wild horses so they can be offered for adoption. Best
Friends Animal Sanctuary near Kanab, Utah, rescues horses
whose owners no longer consider them “useful.” While the
prison’s wild horse program and the Best Friends Animal
Sanctuary rescue horses, Horses of the West also shows how
horses can rescue and heal humans. The film tells the story of
two special once-wild horses at the National Ability Center in
Park City, Utah, where these gentled creatures are now used
as therapy animals.

Five Old Men of Yellowstone
The Rise of Interpretation in the First National Park
Stephen G. Biddulph
Yellowstone has undergone a number of transitions in the 140 years since its national park des-ignation in 1872. Five Old Men of Yellowstone recounts one such transition—from recreational play-ground to outdoor classroom where active learning processes supplanted passive experiences. Tasked with instituting these inter-pretive interactions were five intrepid ranger naturalists who served as both protectors and educators. Stephen Biddulph tells the story of these five charismatic men in a masterfully woven nar-rative that provides a fascinating historical account of Yellowstone through charming colloquial storytelling.
StEPHEN G. BIDDUlPH is a retired Marine Corps officer, a Vietnam veteran, and a mental health therapist and drug addic-tion counselor. He is married and has six children and nineteen grandchildren.

Safavid iran and Her neighbors
Edited by Michel Mazzaoui
The Safavid dynasty (1501–1722) origi-
nated in one of the many Turkish, pos-
sibly Kurdish, dervish orders begun
shortly after the Mongol invasion. Its
founder, Isma’il, took advantage of the
chaotic political situation at the end of
the fifteenth century to establish con-
trol over the territory that comprises
most of current-day Iran. Safavid rul-
ers established Shi’ism as the domi-
nant ideology, the Muslim faith still
observed by the majority of Iranians.
Safavid Iran and Her Neighbors, which
focuses primarily on Persian external
relations during this period, includes
wide-ranging contributions that cover
dervish orders, the Central Asian hajj,
developments in Shi’i legal theory, cul-
tural relations between Persia and
Mughal India, and diplomatic relations
between Iran, Russia, and Ottoman
Turkey.
“A significant contribution.”

Final light
The Life and Art of V. Douglas Snow
Edited by Frank McEntireForeword by Mary Francey

Final Light represents the first book to examine the legacy of this signif-icant Utah educator and painter. Renowned scholars, writers, and activists who are familiar with Snow’s work recount personal experiences with the artist and delve into his motives, methods, and reputation.
FRANK McENtIRE is well known in Utah for his work of the past thirty years as an esteemed sculp-tor, curator, writer, and arts admin-istrator. His sculptural works have been exhibited in Idaho, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah, and he has curated exhibitions for most major museums and art centers in the state.

Gravity Hill
A Memoir
Maximilian Werner
“The sound of parenthood is the sigh.” So begins Gravity Hill, written from the per-
spective of a new father seeking hope, beauty, and meaning in an uncertain world.
Many memoirs recount the author’s experiences growing up and struggling with
their demons; Werner’s shows how old demons can sometimes return on the heels
of raising children. Werner narrates his struggle growing up in suburban Utah as a
non-Mormon and what it took for him, his siblings, and his friends to feel like they
belonged, indulging in each other and sometimes in destructive behaviors. Gravity
Hill is infused with humor, honesty, and reflection, a literary memoir that is the
story of the author’s descent into and eventual emergence from dysfunc-
tion and pain to a newfound life.
MAxIMIlIAN WERNER earned an MFA in poetry from Arizona State
University and is the author of the essay collection Black River
Dreams and the novel Crooked Creek. He lives in Salt Lake City and

the Shrinking Jungle
A Novel
Kevin T. Jones
Anthropologist Kevin Jones takes
the reader on a journey into the
world of the Aché, hunter-gather-
ers of the deep jungles of Paraguay.
The Aché were among the last
tribal peoples to come into peace-
ful contact with the outside world, with some bands leaving
the forest only in the late 1970s. Jones was fortunate to live
among them while conducting ethnoarchaeological field-
work as part of his graduate studies. Their stories were so
compelling and the insights into their lives so profound that
he wove them into this fictional account, seeking to share
their unique culture while illustrating the universal nature of
the Achés’ concerns.
KEVIN t. JONES lived among and studied the Aché
while doing graduate work. He received his PhD from the
University of Utah in 1984 and he has worked as an archaeol-
ogist in the Intermountain West for more than thirty years.

the avenues of Salt lake City
Second Edition
Karl T. Haglund and Philip F. NotarianniRevised by Cevan J. LeSieur
Salt Lake City’s oldest residential historic district is a neigh-
borhood known as the Avenues. During the late nineteenth
century this area was home to many of the most influen-
tial citizens of Salt Lake City. Built between 1860 until 1930,
it contains a mix of middle- and upper-middle-class homes
of varying architectural styles. This architectural diversity
makes the Avenues unique among Utah’s historic districts.
This newly revised edition of The Avenues of Salt Lake City
by Cevan J. LeSieur updates the original book with a greatly
expanded section on the historic homes in the neighbor-
hood, including more than 600 new photos, and additional
material covering the history of the Avenues since 1980.
CEVAN J. lESIEUR is a native of Salt Lake City and a resi-
dent of the Avenues neighborhood, where he and his wife
Heather have restored two homes.

the Selected letters of Bernard DeVoto and Katharine SterneEdited by Mark DeVoto
Bernard DeVoto (1897–1955) was a
historian, critic, editor, professor,
political commentator, and con-
servationist, and above all a writer
of comprehensive skill. His essays
were often brash and opinionated
and kept him in the public limelight. In 1933 he received a
fan letter from Katharine Sterne, a young woman hospital-
ized with tuberculosis; his reply touched off an extraordinary
eleven-year correspondence. Sterne and DeVoto wrote to
each other until her death in 1944, sometimes in many pages
and as often as twice a week, exchanging opinions about life,
literature, art, current events, family news, gossip, and shar-
ing their innermost feelings.
MARK DEVOtO, a son of Bernard and Avis DeVoto, is pro-
fessor emeritus of music at Tufts University and a staff writer
for the Boston Musical Intelligencer, with numerous publica-
tions in analysis of nineteenth- and twentieth-century music
to his credit.
