    Customer Review - More facts than your puny frame can handle

    Glen Canyon of the Colorado River, in southern Utah and northern Arizona, was a tranquil place with currents friendly enough for even the most boyish of Boy Scouts and the oldest of old ladies. Edward Abbey considered it the heart of the canyon lands. The residents of White Canyon, Utah--a town since submerged by Lake Powell-considered it home. The Bureau of Reclamation just considered it a good place to build a dam.

    That dam, Glen Canyon Dam, was built in the early-1960s, to create a reservoir in which to store the water of the Colorado River for the states that needed it, to use the river's water to turn turbines and generate lucrative electricity, to control the Colorado River's...

    [Author: VerĂ³nica Salles-Reese] [Pages: 220] [ISBN: 0292777132] [Pub. Date: 1997]

    Editorial Review - Product Description

    Surrounded by the peaks of the Andean cordillera, the deep blue waters of Lake Titicaca have long provided refreshment and nourishment to the people who live along its shores. From prehistoric times, the Andean peoples have held Titicaca to be a sacred place, the source from which all life originated and the site where the divine manifests its presence. In this interdisciplinary study, Veronica Salles-Reese explores how Andean myths of cosmic and ethnic origins centered on Lake Titicaca evolved from pre-Inca times to the enthronement of the Virgin of Copaca-bana in 1583. She begins by describing the myths of the Kolla (pre-Inca) people and shows how their Inca conquerors attempted to...

    Editorial Review - Product Description

    This book is a comprehensive account of what occurred on the outskirts of our nation's capital in 1991-1993 and what may be the most extensive display of weeping statues and accompanying physical phenomena in the Catholic Church. The phenomena included hundreds of statues, crucifixes and even glass images which wept tears and blood before thousands of astonished witnesses. Father James Bruse, a humble parish priest, received stigmata wounds replicating the five crucifixion wounds of Christ. This third edition is doubled in size from previous editions and presents other famous statue weeping episodes, a detailed rebuttal to skeptical challengers, and offers a thoughtful and...
