4.9/5 (18507 ratings)

Description:Only ten percent of the world's population can see the Milky Way. The rest live in places with nights so stained by manmade light that the stars, for them, have gone out. But on the Colorado Plateau, night is still a democratic joy, available to almost everyone, a great show, free of charge, open from dusk until dawn. "Nocturnal Cantata" by Susan Zwinger A naturalist and writer recalls the sounds, smells, and mysteries of the desert night, "composed of song, sculptured with smell" and alive with the Night People-the hunters and prey, the four-footed and the winged, the amphibians and insects, the serenaders and the moon-flowering plants who belong to the dark hours. "Plateau Nights" by Von del Chamberlain Astronomy is the oldest of the sciences. On the Colorado Plateau, whose clear dark nights are a fitting stage for the full celestial performance, people have stargazed since ancient times. Ancient buildings and art show us how prehistoric plateau dwellers sought as earnestly as today's astronomers to understand the heavens. "We Loved the Stars Too Fond to be Fearful of the Night" by Dan Peha (a photo-essay) The passing of the night is recorded on film by star trail photographer Dan Peha. "A Quality of Seeing" by Andre Bormanis The night sky is a geography of dreams, a chronicle of the myths and legends of early human civilizations and the aspirations of the human spirit. Andre Bormanis follows the adventures of some sojourners in the "starry wilderness." "Cowboy poetry [is Alive and Well] on the Colorado Plateau" by Warren Miller When night fell, terrestrial cowboys sat beneath a sky embroidered with starlight and sang their stories. Warren Miller traces the history of cowboy poetry on the Colorado Plateau.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
