Reseña del libro "the four-cornered falcon,essays on the interior west and the natural scene (en Inglés)"

The western United States is a region of open space that has profoundly shaped the American character. In The Four-Cornered Falcon, Reg Saner explores places that can still transform the human spirit with almost sacred power and describes journeys-both physical and spiritual-to areas of the interior West as remote as they are beautiful. He explores northern New Mexico's Pajarito Plateau, home to the ancient Anasazi culture and the weapons laboratories of Los Alamos. He recalls a long night spent in Chaco Canyon, alone and frightened after sustaining a serious rock-climbing injury. He tells of encounters with magpies and coyotes, botanists and wildlife officials. And he looks down on the multiplying lights of Boulder and realizes that the West he has long known cannot escape being blighted by growth. Saner draws on a lifetime of hiking, climbing, and skiing in the backcountry of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, but the themes and experiences he explores are the opposite of regional. Like the falcons of the title essay-like humans themselves-Saner's essays are "four-cornered," not simply for their connection to those famous intersecting borders but because they range so widely over space and time. Reg Saner is a professor emeritus at the University of Colorado and is the author of, most recently, Living Large in Nature: A Writer's Idea of Creationism, as well as Reaching Keet Seel: Ruin's Echo and the Anasazi and four poetry collections. His work has been included in over sixty anthologies and he has won an NEA fellowship, the Creede Repertory Theater Award, the State of Colorado Governor's Award, and the Wallace Stegner Award.
