Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A history that is equal parts science and mythology, Sacred Sites offers a rare and poetic vision of a world composed of dynamic natural emphases and mythic characters. The result is a singular and memorable account of the evolution of the Southern California landscape, reflecting the riches of both Native knowledge and Western scientific thought. Beginning with Western science, poet Susan Suntree carries readers from the Big Bang to the present as she describes the origins of the universe, the shifting of tectonic plates, and an evolving array of plants and animals that give Southern California its unique features today. She tells of the migration of humans into the region, where they settled, and how they lived.
