The place looks fascinating. I'd love to visit. And the book sounds fascinating too!

It'll be great addition to the great books in the Archaeology Series.

New Mexico is a fascinating place.

I've applied to attend the Tao Toolbox next year. I hope to visit such places, assuming I am accepted.

Sounds cool. And right after the workshop is over you could head over to Chaco Canyon (prob about a 3-hr drive from there) just in time for summer solstice.

Yes, that's one he discusses. (And I went and grabbed my copy of Collapse and noticed I had bookmarked a page where he talks about that civilization.)

I am buying this book for my mom as soon as it's available. Will it be out by August?

Haven't set a release date yet, but I am expecting it to be published by then.

True, we'll never know all the answers. There'll always be mystery.
