A portrait of the significant events in the Hopi culture
Il collasso del Flusso, il percorso interstellare tra i pianeti dell'Interdipendenza, è accelerato. Interi sistemi stellari - e miliardi di persone - stanno per essere tagliati fuori dal resto della civiltà umana. Questo crollo è stato predetto da una previsione scientifica. . . eppure, anche se l'evidenza è ovvia e insormontabile, molti cercano ancora di razionalizzare, ritardare e trarre profitto da questi ultimi giorni di uno dei più grandi imperi che l'umanità abbia mai conosciuto. L’imperatrice Grayland II ha finalmente strappato il controllo del suo impero a coloro che le si oppongono e negano la realtà di questo crollo.

Chaco, with its monumental Ògreat houses,Ó was the center of a vast region marked by ÒoutlierÓ great houses.

This volume explores the Chaco and post-Chaco eras in the northern San Juan area through extensive excavations at the Bluff Great House, a major Chaco ÒoutlierÓ in Utah. BluffÕs massive great house, great kiva, and earthen berms are described and compared to othe...
