About this product
Product Information
In western culture, rock art has traditionally been viewed as "primitive" and properly belonging in the purview of anthropologists rather than art scholars and critics. This volume, featuring previously unpublished photographs of Utah's magnificent rock art by long-time rock art researcher Layne Miller and essays by former Utah state archaeologist Kevin Jones, views rock art through a different lens. Miller's photographs include many rare and relatively unknown panels and represent a lifetime of work by someone intimately familiar with the Colorado Plateau. The photos highlight the astonishing variety of rock art as well as the variability within traditions and time periods. Jones's essays furnish general information about previous Colorado Plateau cultures and shine a light on rock art as art. The book emphasizes the exqui-site artistry of these ancient works and their capacity to reach through the ages to envelop and inspire viewers.

Reviews
"In our divisive age the phrase 'cultural appropriation' has been used as a wedge to separate people. What Kevin Jones and Layne Miller offer is the opposite: a reaching out across time with empathy, intelligence, and something like love. Follow them as they wedge down through cultural sediment, and the centuries, to make contact with the humans who once walked the land they walk now. It is a hopeful and joyful thing to think that we can talk to ghosts, that we can reach through time and join hands with those long gone." --David Gessner, author of All the Wild That Remains: Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner and the American West, "Kevin Jones is a first-rate scientist with impeccable credentials. He's also a fine and creative writer." --Stephen Trimble, author of Bargaining for Eden and editor of Red Rock Stories, "In this remarkable book, Jones eloquently explains his attitude toward the rock art of (mostly) Utah native peoples. The volume is beautifully illustrated by Layne Miller's photographs of rock art, predominantly from within Utah. This is not a textbook; it contains very little factual or scientific information about the prehistoric peoples who lived in Utah and created the rock art. It is an art appreciation book, a paean to the creative imagination and sophisticated cultures of some of these peoples, and the expressive originality of all of them." -- Southwestern Lore, "By suggesting that we abandon our search for meaning in rock art in favor of letting the 'artist speak directly to you' Kevin Jones senses that because these ancient ones thrived in this harsh landscape for thousands of years, they may have insights that could save us." --Brooke Williams, author of Open Midnight: Where Wilderness and Ancestors Meet, "We found ourselves enchanted by Standing on the Walls of Time . After a lifetime of study Kevin Jones' insightful prose will open doorways that provide insight and meaning to Utah's exceptional rock art. Layne Miller's evocative photography is more than a mere picture, it is a communication of meaning, mysticism and emotion. Together, Miller's photography and Jones' analytic and penetrating essays make Standing on the Walls of Time a book you will return to, ever to discover new meaning." --W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, New York Times bestselling authors of Star Path

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
