The provocative, colorful history of Ogden’s
notorious 25th Street
Drama, Decadence, and Dissipation along
Ogden’s Rowdiest Road
Val Holley
25th Street Confidential traces Ogden’s transformation from quiet
hamlet to chaotic transcontinental railroad junction as waves of
non-Mormon fortune seekers swelled the city’s population. The
street’s outsized role in Ogden annals illuminates larger themes in
Utah and U.S. history. Most significantly, 25th Street was a crucible
of Mormon-Gentile conflict, especially after the non-Mormon
Liberal Party deprived its rival, the People’s Party, of long-standing
control of Ogden’s municipal government in 1889. In the early
twentieth-century the street was targeted in statewide Progressive
Era reform efforts, and during Prohibition it would come to epitomize the futility of liquor abatement programs.
This first full-length treatment of Ogden’s rowdiest road spotlights larger-than-life figures whose careers were entwined
with the street: Mayor Harman Ward Peery, who unabashedly
filled the city treasury with fees and fines from vicious establishments; Belle London, the most successful madam in Utah history;
and Rosetta Ducinnie Davie, the heiress to London’s legacy who
became a celebrity on the street, in the courts, and in the press.
Material from previously unexploited archives and more than one
hundred historic photos enrich this narrative of a turbulent but
unforgettable street.
Val Holley is a native of Weber
County, Utah, attended Weber State
College, and received a BA in journalism
from BYU, a JD from the University of Utah,
and an MLS from the Catholic University
of America. For three decades he has been

NEW BOOKS UTAH/WESTERN HISTORY
Generations of Ogdenites have grown up absorbing 25th Street’s
legends of corruption, menace, and depravity. The rest of Utah has
tended to judge Ogden—known in its first century as a “gambling
hell” and tenderloin, and in recent years as a degraded skid row—
by the street’s gaudy reputation. Present-day Ogden embraces the
afterglow of 25th Street’s decadence and successfully promotes it
to tourists. In the same preservationist spirit as Denver’s Larimer
Square, today’s 25th Street is home to art galleries, fine dining, live
theater, street festivals, mixed-use condominiums, and the Utah
State Railroad Museum.
S
ince the late 1800s, when professional fossil hunters vied with each other to bring the
largest and most complete specimens to the
museum market, Utah has been one of the most fertile grounds for dinosaur discovery. Because rock
from the Mesozoic era covers more than 25,000
square miles in Utah, the state is a natural museum
of the great age of dinosaurs. The presence of sites
such as Dinosaur National Park and the ClevelandLloyd Dinosaur Quarry underline Utah’s ongoing
paleontological significance. There are probably more
paleontologists residing and working in Utah now
than at any time in the past, and the state even has
an official dinosaur, the Allosaurus.

Dinosaurs of Utah
Second Edition
An updated edition of the popular work that
has enchanted and educated all ages about
dinosaurs in Utah
Frank DeCourten
Paintings by Carel Brest van Kempen
Color photographs by John Telford and Frank DeCourten
Praise for the first edition:
“Of books on dinosaurs there are
many, but this one aims at a wider target. The book is carefully constructed
and is immensely aided by its abundant
illustrations.”
—Scientific American
More than one hundred of author Frank DeCourten’s meticulous
line drawings illustrate fossil remains and various features of dinosaur anatomy, as do five stunning paintings by Carel Brest van
Kempen. More than forty color landscape photographs by John
Telford and Frank DeCourten show modern geologic contexts in
most parts of the state and emphasize the dynamic nature of the
region’s geologic history. There is also a series of detailed maps,
including several new to this edition, that show the tremendous
topographical shifts that occurred within the Mesozoic era from
the early Triassic to the late Cretaceous periods, a span of over 175
million years.
“A beautiful book, with lots of truly stunning drawings and photos. You’ll have a
hard time putting it down.”
—The Times Independent (Moab)
“This ambitious book will satisfy anyone
who has ever wondered what things were
like when dinosaurs roamed the earth.”
—Library Journal
This second edition of Dinosaurs of Utah enlivens our understanding of these amazing vanished creatures by explaining them and
their world to us. It moves beyond the often superficial representations that have been so prevalent and more accurately portrays
the variety of dinosaurs that once roamed the region now known
as Utah.

Dinosaurs of Utah is an ambitious book bridging the gap between
the voluminous technical literature on Utah’s Mesozoic era and the
numerous publications that describe dinosaurs at the elementary
level. “Utah” dinosaurs are presented here as part of the Mesozoic
terrestrial ecosystems that evolved in the Colorado Plateau region
and are discussed in the context of the changing landscapes, environments, and biota recorded in the geological record.

When construction of the Madeira-Mamoré Railroad began in
1867, Bolivia had lost its war with Chile, causing it to become landlocked and unable to ship its minerals and other products from
the Pacific Coast. Since Bolivia needed to find a way to move
products from the Atlantic Coast, the government decided a railroad should be built around the Madeira River—which originates in Bolivia and travels almost 2,000 miles through Brazil to
the Amazon—facilitating shipment to foreign markets via the
Amazonian waterway. Completion of the railroad was initially
stalled by lack of funding, but the project was resurrected in the
early twentieth century and completed in 1912. Intended as an
integral piece of the rubber export industry, the railroad became
unnecessary once the world supply of rubber moved from Brazil
to Asia.
Although there have been many brief chronicles and writings
about the Madeira-Mamoré Railroad over the years, most barely
scratch the surface of this incredible story. Of particular import
in Tracks in the Amazon are the photographs—which until now
have rarely been seen—taken by Dana Merrill, a New York photographer hired to document the construction of the railroad. It
also includes reproductions of the Porto Velho Marconigram, an
English-language newspaper written for and by the American
expatriates who lived in the construction headquarters at Porto
Velho. Because this unique railroad traversed the densest tropical jungle on earth, more than 10,000 workers lost their lives laying
the first five miles of track. The images and descriptions of the life
of the workers on the railroad illustrate the challenges of working
in the jungles—the unforgiving climate, malaria and yellow feverbearing mosquitoes, and the threat of wild animals—which made
conditions for the workers next to impossible.

An engaging storyteller brings to life true stories
from Grand Canyon’s human history
Canyon of Dreams
Stories from Grand Canyon History
Don Lago
In 1928 astronomer Edwin Hubble came to the canyon to test
it as a site for the world’s greatest observatory. In the 1960s the
Apollo astronauts hiked into the canyon to learn geology in preparation for lunar explorations. Famous writers and poets have
looked to the canyon to find the meanings of nature and God.
Dreamers turned a 1909 newspaper hoax into an elaborate myth
about ancient Egyptian tombs in the canyon. Canyon of Dreams
tells these and other stories, including that of Brighty the burro,
who inspired a classic children’s novel, and the story of a teenaged
Roger Miller, who spent a summer living in a trailer and “pushin’
broom” at the canyon, leading to his song “King of the Road.”
Newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst’s fight against the
National Park Service to retain property he owned on the canyon
rim is another illuminating tale. Despite being little known in the
official annals of Grand Canyon history, the fight served as a pivotal moment in the much broader struggle between promoters of
wilderness conquest and those advocating for preservation.
This eclectic compilation runs the gamut from the idiosyncratic
to the landmark, the mythical to the empirical, and everything
in between. The narratives are captivating and sure to appeal to
readers interested in the Grand Canyon’s long and complex history. The work is thoroughly researched and will prove a valuable
contribution to historical scholarship. Canyon of Dreams sheds
light on many obscure aspects of the canyon and takes readers on
rollicking adventures in the process.
Don Lago has spent twenty-five years
exploring the Grand Canyon, having kayaked it six times and backpacked it more
than sixty times. He has extensively
researched Grand Canyon history and has
made archaeological discoveries during
his years of backcountry research. Lago is
the author of numerous articles and of the
bestselling book, Grand Canyon Trivia.
“The author presents here—largely for the
first time—several independent narratives
that relate to historical events at Grand
Canyon. What makes them stand out from
all previous works is that most of the narratives embrace events that are little
known, incompletely known, or known
previously only through undocumented
oral tradition. With respect to other works
in its field, Lago’s work is unique.”

The most complete overview and assessment of Mormon village
studies available, this volume extends the canon twofold. First, it
presents a rich composite view of nineteenth-century Mormon
life in the West as seen by qualified observers who did not just
pass through but stopped and studied. Second, it connects that
early protoethnography to scholarly Mormon village studies in the
twentieth century, showing their proper context in the thriving
field of community studies. Based mostly on nine famous travelers’
accounts of life among the Mormons, including Richard Burton,
Elizabeth Kane, Howard Stansbury, John Gunnison, and Julius
Brenchley—Bahr’s volume introduces these talented observers,
summarizes and analyzes their observation, and constructs a
holistic overview of Mormon village life. He concludes by tracing
the rise and continuity of Mormon village studies in the twentieth
century, beginning with Lowry Nelson’s 1923 research in Escalante,
Utah. Over the following three decades, the genre expanded
beyond Nelson and his students, becoming more sophisticated
and interdisciplinary; by the mid-1950s it was a subfield within the
respected arena of community studies. Researchers continued to
study Mormon communities in the following decades and into the
twenty-first century.

offer in-depth investigations by observers who lived and participated in village life. Together, they capture in rich detail the dayto-day life of mid-century Mormon villagers. Editor Howard Bahr’s
afterword highlights changes in the four villages across the past
half-century, drawing upon recent site visits, interviews, and texts.

Latter-day Lore
A collection of important studies and portrayals
of Mormon folk life with analytical introductions
Mormon Folklore Studies
Edited and with Introductions by Eric A. Eliason and Tom Mould
Eric A. Eliason is a professor of English
at Brigham Young University and the chaplain for the 1st Battalion 19th Special Forces
of the Utah National Guard. He is the
author of The J. Golden Kimball Stories and
Mormons and Mormonism: An Introduction
to an American World Religion.
The thorough introduction by the volume editors elucidates the
major influences, tensions, and questions shaping the study of
Mormon folklore. The book is divided into six parts according to
major thematic and topical patterns. The extensive introductory
essays preceding each of the six parts provide invaluable
historical, cultural, and theoretical contexts to frame the studies
that follow: society, symbols, and landscape of regional culture;
formative customs and traditions; the sacred and the supernatural;
pioneers, heroes, and the historical imagination; humor; and the
international contexts of Mormon folklore.
Tom Mould is an associate professor of
anthropology and director of PERCS, the
Program for Ethnographic Research and
Community Studies at Elon University. He
is the author of Choctaw Tales, Choctaw
Prophecy: A Legacy of the Future and
Still, the Small Voice: Narrative, Personal
Revelation, and the Mormon Folk Tradition.
While exploring the ground that scholars have covered over the
past century, Eliason and Mould also illuminate those areas of LDS
folklore that have been understudied, exposing fertile areas for
future research. Providing the most up-to-date and comprehensive survey of Mormon folklore studies available, Latter-day Lore is
an indispensible resource for students, scholars, and readers interested in folklore, Mormon studies, anthropology, sociology, literature, and religious studies. “I applaud the editors for their work! It is certainly about time
that someone has finally edited an anthology of Mormon folklore
scholarship. The articles chosen for the volume are both fascinating to read and useful pedagogically since they represent the work
of many well-respected folklore scholars.”

The American Southwest is characterized by environmentally
and culturally diverse landscapes, which include the northern Rio
Grande valley as it cuts through north-central New Mexico from
Taos to Albuquerque. The region has a long and rich history of
anthropological research primarily focused on the archaeological remains found along this valley corridor. Only recently has
research involving large-scale surveys and excavations been conducted on the nearby mesas and mountains that form the rugged margins of the river valley. From Mountain Top to Valley Bottom
incorporates this new research into a perspective that links the
ever-changing and complementary nature of lowland and upland
land use.
The essays in this collection are unified by three specific themes:
landscape, movement, and technology. Landscape involves the
ecological backdrop of the northern Rio Grande valley, including
past and present environments. Movement refers to the positioning of people across the landscape along with the dynamic and
fluid nature with which people—past and present—view their
relationship with the “above” and “below.” Technology not only
refers to the tools and facilities that past people may have used
but to the organization of labor needed to cooperatively exploit
a variety of subsistence resources and the exchange of products
across the region. This volume provides both a cross section of
current research from expert scholars and a broad perspective that
seeks to integrate new data from lowland and upland contexts.
From Mountain Top to Valley Bottom will appeal to those interested
in obsidian source studies, geoarchaeology, past climatic regimes,
foraging societies, early agriculture, ceramic technology, subsistence, early village formation, ethnogenesis, and historic multi
ethnic economies.

Roads in the Wilderness
Analyzes the critical role of roads and clashing
worldviews in historical fights over wilderness
in southern Utah and Northern Arizona
Conflict in Canyon Country
Jedediah S. Rogers
Rogers reflects on the meaning of roads amid environmental
conflicts that continue to grip the canyon country. Transporting
readers from road controversies like the infamous Burr Trail battle to the contentious web of roads in Grand Staircase–Escalante
National Monument to off-roading in Arch Canyon, Rogers demonstrates how the conflicts are deeply rooted in history and culture. The first permanent Anglo-American settlers in the region
were Mormon pioneers and current views about land and resource
use in southern Utah often derive from stories about how those
pioneer ancestors defied wilderness to found their communities
in the desert. Roads in the Wilderness will be of interest to environmentalists, historians, and those who live in the American West,
challenging readers to think about the canyon country and the
stories embedded in the land.
Jedediah S. Rogers received his PhD
in American history from Arizona State
University and is a historian with Historical
Research Associates, Inc. in Missoula,
Montana. He is editor of In the President’s
Office: The Diaries of L. John Nuttall, 1879–
1892, winner of the Evans Handcart Award
from Utah State University and the Best
Documentary Book Award from the
Mormon History Association.
“A fresh and engaging contribution to
environmental history, especially for its
interpretation of the Mormon cultural heritage as a driving force for the economic
development of the Utah hinterlands.
Rogers’s work shows how cultural imperatives arising out of the nineteenth-century
settlement period, including memories
of the 1879 to 1880 Bluff–San Juan expedition, gave roads their lasting and significant meaning in the minds of many
contemporary residents.”

NEW BOOKS WESTERN HISTORY/ ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY
The canyon country of southern Utah and northern Arizona—a
celebrated desert of rock and sand punctuated by gorges and
mesas—is a region hotly contested among vying and disparate
interests, from industrial developers to wilderness preservation
advocates. Roads are central to the conflicts raging in an area perceived as one of the last large roadless places in the continental
United States. The canyon country in fact contains an extensive
network of dirt trails and roads, many originally constructed under
the authority of a one-sentence statute in an 1866 mining law,
later known as R.S. 2477. While well-groomed and paved roads
came to signify the industrialization of the modern age, twentiethcentury conservationists have regarded roads as intrusive human
imprints on the nation’s wild lands. Roads connect rural communities, spur economic growth, and in some cases blend harmoniously into the landscape, but they also fracture and divide, disturb
wildlife and habitat, facilitate industrial development, and spoil
wilderness.

The Prehistory of Gold Butte uses a theoretical perspective rooted
in human behavior ecology and other foraging models to present
the results of one of the largest and most comprehensive archaeological investigations ever undertaken in southern Nevada,
involving the systematic survey of more than 31,000 acres, the documentation of more than 377 sites, and the excavation of nine prehistoric sites. Gold Butte—at the crossroads of the Mojave Desert,
the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau in southern Nevada—
has a 12,000-year record of human occupation with archaeological
elements that can be traced to all three culture zones.
Dramatic developments occurred in this area of the Desert West.
Farmers suddenly appeared in the Virgin River basin about 1,600
years ago. At such iconic sites as Lost City, Main Ridge, and Mesa
House, full village and agricultural life developed over the span of
a few hundred years only to completely vanish by AD 1250 after a
series of droughts and other cultural disruptions. The Patayan held
sway for several hundred years, between AD 1100 and 1500, but
didn’t advance much beyond the Colorado River corridor. Finally,
the Southern Paiute arrived and occupied not only the Virgin River
basin and Gold Butte but much of the northwestern quadrant of
the Southwest from at least the time of historic contact (AD 1500)
to the present.
This mix of cultures illustrates historical contingency, inplace development, and external relationships that should be
expected along a boundary area such as Gold Butte. By looking at hinterlands adjoining the prehistoric settlements that
clustered along the Virgin River corridor before, during, and
after the Puebloan period, the authors suggest that changes in
settlement-subsistence and lifeways at core settlements along the
riverine corridor have corresponding effects on the character and
intensity of hinterland occupation.

Considers the human adaptation of the earliest
people to inhabit Colorado’s Middle Park
The First Rocky Mountaineers
Coloradans before Colorado
Marcel Kornfeld
The first inhabitants of Rocky Mountain high country left a rich
record of shelters, tools, and projectile points as well as food residues in the form of bison bone, all dating between 12,000 and
9,000 years ago. This record provides a robust database for interpreting their lifeways and unique adaptations. Kornfeld offers the
first treatment of the original Middle Park and Rocky Mountain
human populations from a biocultural perspective. This approach
suggests that both biological and cultural processes frame the
outcome of a successful human adaptation. While such a process
may be resisted by some anthropologists investigating low-elevation groups, it is essential when trying to understand the dynamics
of those living in the high country.
Marcel Kornfeld is a professor
of anthropology at the University of
Wyoming. During nearly forty years of
research he has written ten books and
numerous articles about Rocky Mountain
and Plains archaeology and prehistory. He
works closely with avocational archaeologists throughout North America and is
the coeditor (with Mary Lou Larson and
George C. Frison) of Hell Gap: A Stratified
Paleoindian Campsite at the Edge of the
Rockies (The University of Utah Press, 2009).
“A significant contribution. Rocky Mountain
archaeology long received short shrift,
yet now that more and more scientists
are engaging in it we are learning much

Based on archaeological research in Colorado’s Middle Park—a
high mountain basin initially encountered by Europeans in the
early 1800s and occupied for centuries by the Ute people—The
First Rocky Mountaineers is a prehistory of the earliest people of the
region at the conclusion of the Ice Age. The Utes and their predecessors lived and thrived for 12,000 years in this high mountain setting, an environment that demanded unique adaptive strategies
because of cold stress and hypoxic conditions. People of Middle
Park coped with some of the most extreme conditions of any prehistoric population in North America, dealing with the stressors of
high elevations and low temperatures by intensifying food acquisition, constructing shelters, and tailoring sophisticated warm clothing. The archaeological record of these early Coloradans, while still
meager, provides a wealth of information about lifeways in the
Rocky Mountain high country.

An updated edition of the essential reference
for the study of ground stone artifacts
A copublication with Archaeology Southwest
Ground Stone Analysis
A Technological Approach
Second Edition
Jenny L. Adams
NEW BOOKS ARCHAEOLOGY
Praise for the first edition:
“Adams is to be commended for having produced a well-organized and thoroughly documented manual based on
her own quarter-century of hard work
and thoughtful deliberation. The book is
worth careful study by anyone faced with
description and interpretation of assemblages of stone artifacts whose forms were
created or altered by grinding, abrading,
or polishing.”
—Lithic Technology
Archaeologists define stone artifacts that are altered by or used
to alter other items through abrasion, pecking, or polishing as
“ground stone.” This includes mortars and pestles, abraders, polishers stones, and hammerstones, and artifacts shaped by abrasion or pecking, such as axes, pipes, figurines, ornaments, and
architectural pieces.
The first edition of Ground Stone Analysis sparked interest around
the world. In the decade following its publication, there have been
many advances in scientific technology and developments in ethnographic and experimental research. The second edition incorporates these advances, including examples of international research
that have utilized a technological approach to ground stone analysis. This study presents a flexible yet structured method for analyzing and classifying stone artifacts. These techniques record
important attributes based on design, manufacturing, and use and
are applicable to any collection in the world.
The methods presented guide quantitative and qualitative assessments of artifacts and assemblages. Recording forms and instructions for completing them will be available on the University of
Utah Press’s open access portal at www.UofUpress.com. Ground
Stone Analysis is an important, useful reference for any archaeological field worker or student who encounters ground stone artifacts and is interested in learning more about the people who
used them.

California’s Channel Islands
Definitive analyses of these unique Pacific coast
islands and their inhabitants
The Archaeology of Human-Environment
Interactions
Edited by Christopher S. Jazwa and Jennifer E. Perry
Tracing the human occupation of the islands from the e
arliest settlement at the end of the Pleistocene by marine-adapted foragers
with sophisticated stone tool technologies to the tragic story
of historic depopulation continuing into the nineteenth century, contributors discuss topics including human settlement patterns on small and large scales, prehistoric trails, the use of plant
resources, and ceremonialism. They also address the decisions that
people made when confronted with diverse and changing environments. By focusing on distinct aspects of human relationships
with California’s Channel Islands through time, they tell a story of
settlement, subsistence, and ritual on the coastal edge of western
North America.
This compendium of scholarship condenses decades of excavation
and analysis into a single, illuminating volume that will be indispensable for those interested in the Channel Islands or New World
history or archaeology.
Christopher S. Jazwa is a PhD candidate in anthropology at Pennsylvania State
University.
Jennifer E. Perry is an anthropology
professor at California State University,
Channel Islands. She is a coauthor of The
Punta Arena Site and Early and Middle
Holocene Cultural Development on Santa
Cruz Island, California.
“This is a significant contribution because
it gathers into one publication a great
deal of information that might otherwise
be difficult to obtain, including the initial
population of the New World, use of plants
(surprisingly well preserved on the islands
back into the early Holocene), a rich record
of ritual behavior, and much else.”

NEW BOOKS ARCHAEOLOGY
California’s Channel Islands are a chain of eight islands that extend
along the state’s southern coastline from Santa Barbara’s Point
Conception to the Mexican border. Popular tourist destinations
today, these islands once supported some of the earliest human
populations in the Americas; archaeological evidence of maritime
Paleo-Indian settlements on the northern islands dates back some
13,000 years. The indigenous peoples of the islands—the Chumash
of the northern islands and the Tongva of the southern islands—
thrived into historic times by relying upon the abundance and
diversity of marine and terrestrial resources available to them.
California’s Channel Islands presents a definitive archaeological
investigation of these unique islands and their inhabitants, and is
the first publication to discuss the islands and their peoples holistically rather than individually or by subgroup.

Archaeology in the Great Basin and Southwest is a compilation of
papers by friends and colleagues that honor Don D. Fowler. The
volume encompasses the breadth and depth of Fowler’s work in
archaeology and sister disciplines with original scholarship on the
human past of the arid west. Included are theoretical, methodological, and empirical papers that synthesize and present fresh
perspectives on Great Basin and Southwest archaeology and cover
a sweep of topics from Paleoindian research to collaboration with
Native Americans. Fowler has continually reminded scholars that
to understand the past we must know how the local and specific is
regionally and transculturally contextualized, how what we know
came to be recognized, studied, and interpreted—in short, how
the past still affects the present—and how regional and topical
archaeology is part of a disciplinary endeavor that is as concerned
with rigorous and inclusive knowledge production as it is with site
description and cultural syntheses.
Readers will learn about the nature of archaeological careers,
how archaeology has been conceptualized and conducted, the
strengths and limitations of past and present approaches, and the
institution building and political processes in which archaeologists
engage. Contributors posit new thoughts designed to stimulate
new lines of research and reflect on the state of our current knowledge about a wealth of topics. Each paper asks four questions
about what Great Basin and southwestern archaeologists currently
know: Where have we been? Where are we now? What do we still
need to learn? Where are we going? This comprehensive volume
will be of interest to those practicing or teaching archaeology and
to students seeking to understand the intricacies of Great Basin
and Southwest archaeology.

Religious Knowledge, Authority,
and Charisma
An innovative volume that examines the sources
and types of religious authority throughout
history and across Islamic and Judaic cultures
Islamic and Jewish Perspectives
Edited by Daphna Ephrat and Meir Hatina
Foreword by Dale F. Eickelman
Contributors tease out the sources and types of authority that
emerged out of the Sunni and Shiʾi milieu and the evolution of
Muslim elites who served as formulators and disseminators of
knowledge and practice. Comparative insights are provided by the
examination of ideological and historical developments among
Jewish sages who inculcated similar modes of authority from
within their traditions. The rigorous exploration of the dynamic
interface of knowledge and power in Islam and Judaism serves
to highlight a number of present tensions common to both religions. By intertwining a historical span that traces trajectories of
continuity and change, integrative discussion of cross-sectional
themes, and comparative perspectives, this volume makes a distinct contribution.
“Makes a significant contribution to scholarship across several
disciplines, including Islamic studies and Jewish studies, of course,
but also history, anthropology, the sociology of religion, and
political science.”

NEW BOOKS MIDDLE EAST STUDIES
The issue of religious authority has long fascinated and ignited
scholars across a range of disciplines: history, anthropology, the
sociology of religion, and political science. Religious Knowledge,
Authority, and Charisma juxtaposes religious leadership in premodern and modern Islam with examples from the Judaic tradition. By illustrating various iterations of authority in numerous
historical and cultural contexts, this volume offers fresh insights
into the nature of institutions of learning and other systems of
establishing and disseminating authority, the mechanisms for cultivating committed adherents, and the processes by which religious leadership is polarized and fragmented.

Khazeni Memorial Foundation, the Middle East Center, and the
College of Humanities at the University of Utah, the lectures cover
various aspects of Persian culture. This second volume in a multivolume series includes lectures that explore Iran’s cultural and
artistic achievements and help to create greater understanding of
Iranian contributions to world civilization. Beginning with the earliest origins of the Persian state and culture, these lectures, primarily focusing on Persian literature and
mysticism, cover 2,500 years of a glorious way of life. Poetry is part
of the fabric of Iranian life, appreciated by all members of society
regardless of educational background or social milieu. It is also the
primary form in which Persian mysticism is expressed. Great poets
such as Hafez, Sadi, and Rumi are guiding beacons for millions of
Iranians. Over the millennia, more religions have sprung up in Iran
than in any other country. Many have faded away, but the mystical
vision has been constant in all of them and has been a persistent
influence on Persian literature and culture for centuries.

Jacob Hamblin has long been one
of the most enigmatic and polarizing figures in Mormon history.
In this defining biography, Todd
Compton reconstructs the fascinating life of the frontiersman, colonizer, missionary to the Indians,
and explorer of the American
West. Compton examines and
disentangles many of the myths
and controversies surrounding
this well-known figure. A Frontier

fleshes out the many nuances of a
life lived on the Mormon frontier.
Yellowstone has undergone a
number of transitions in the 140
years since its national park designation in 1872. Five Old Men of
Yellowstone recounts one such
transition—from recreational playground to outdoor classroom
where active learning processes
supplanted passive experiences.
Tasked with instituting these interpretive interactions were five
intrepid ranger naturalists who
served as both protectors and
educators. Stephen Biddulph tells
the story of these five charismatic
men in a masterfully woven narrative that provides a fascinating
historical account of Yellowstone
through charming colloquial
storytelling.

chaotic political situation at the end of

Seven Summers
A Naturalist Homesteads in the Modern West
Julia Corbett
Seven Summers is the story of a naturalist-turned-professor who flees city life each
summer with her pets and power tools to pursue her lifelong dream—building a
cabin in the Wyoming woods. Along the way, she also gains a better understanding
of her fellow Wyomingites, a mix of ranchers, builders, gas workers, and developers,
who share a love of place while often holding decidedly different values. With little
money and even less experience, Corbett learns that creating a sanctuary on her
mountain meadow requires ample doses of faith, patience, and luck.
Julia Corbett is a professor of communication at the University of Utah, where
she writes both academic work and creative nonfiction about human relationships
with the natural world.

Gravity Hill
A Memoir
Maximilian Werner
“The sound of parenthood is the sigh.” So begins Gravity Hill, written from the perspective of a new father seeking hope, beauty, and meaning in an uncertain world.
Many memoirs recount the author’s experiences growing up and struggling with
their demons; Werner’s shows how old demons can sometimes return on the heels
of raising children. Werner narrates his struggle growing up in suburban Utah as a
non-Mormon and what it took for him, his siblings, and his friends to feel like they
belonged, indulging in each other and sometimes in destructive behaviors. Gravity
Hill is infused with humor, honesty, and reflection, a literary memoir that is the
story of the author’s descent into and eventual emergence from dysfunction and pain to a newfound life.
