In Search of Chaco: New Approaches to an Archaeological Enigma (Popular Archaeology)
In Search of Chaco serves as an excellent basic introduction to Chaco studies over the past two decades; basic but not simplistic. It's an updated edition of the author's 1984 SAR publication, New Light on Chaco Canyon. There are contributions here from many eminent lights of Southwestern archaeology and Chaco research. And there are a bountiful number of photographs (including color), maps and figures to enrich the armchair explorer's journey. [The book] can serve as a leisurely read for the interested visitor to Chaco or insightful overview for the avocational archaeologist, while bearing the authoritative imprimatur of some of its most eminent researchers. --Charles Swenson, Dirtbrothers.org, 1/2010
