DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn exuberant, hands-on fly-on-the-wall account that combines the thrill of canyoneering and rock climbing with the intellectual sleuthing of archaeology to explore the Anasazi. David Roberts describes the culture of the Anasazi—the name means “enemy ancestors” in Navajo—who once inhabited the Colorado Plateau and whose modern descendants are the Hopi Indians of Arizona. Archaeologists, Roberts writes, have been puzzling over the Anasazi for more than a century, trying to determine the environmental and cultural stresses that caused their society to collapse 700 years ago. He guides us through controversies in the historical record, among them the haunting question of whether the Anasazi committed acts of cannibalism. Roberts’s book is full of up-to-date thinking on the culture of the ancient people who lived in the harsh desert country of the Southwest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Owl Man, leader of Planet Anasazi, is called by the Great Spirit to save Mother Earth from an asteroid, he must enlist other lost civilization leaders to help him. The plan involves relocating Earth's inhabitants to another planet, Earthalike, and restoring Earth to her original state, leaving only native inhabitants. The removal of miles and miles of concrete and the release of dammed rivers will correct the Earth's dangerous instability, allowing her to shift out of harm's way. But Owl Man faces many obstacles; strong opposition from the leaders of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Toltecs, distrust by his own brother, and rebellion by the nephew who will one day take his desired position of Ultimate Leader. As the asteroid streaks toward Earth, and with the destruction of the universe looming, Owl Man struggles to overcome his greatest obstacle of all: his own ambition and pride.
