Description: "Lisa Paulson takes the reader on a magical carpet to places where she has worked and lived or visited over the past sixty years, from post-World War II ruins in Naples, Italy, to the much older ruins of Ephesus in Turkey--all juxtaposed against the lush backdrops of nature, which she delights in."--Page [4] of cover.
