Book Description
Situated on the western edge of the Great Basin between the Sierra Nevada and White-Inyo mountain ranges, Owens Valley has been home for thousands of years to the Owens Valley Paiute and their southern neighbors, the Panamint Shoshone. The willow baskets both groups created are noteworthy for their complex construction and durability, and their materials and designs reflected available resources as well as the seminomadic existence that characterized life in the Great Basin for generations. Since the mid-nineteenth-century arrival of non-Indians into the Valley, the baskets have changed. Weaving a Legacy places those changes in the context of the region's dramatic social history. In addition, the volume closely examines basketry techniques and technology, historic weavers and their lineages, contemporary weavers, and basket collectors. The text is extensively illustrated with black-and-white photographs of people, landscapes, and baskets. Among the legacies of these baskets are the stories they evoke, many of which the authors recount in this beautiful work.

Book Description
A urban fantasy of a boy partially raised in a foster home. His puzzled and murky upbringing somewhat hinders his vison during life's lessons learned along his way. Yet, his grooming as a adolescent was not for his own good of maneuvering throughout life's dangerous curves, but for something far greater than he could wrap his head around. It was to provide him a fair shot of making him a worthy opponent. Please leave a review after reading.
