Sometimes encompassing a paloverde tree or suspended many feet above the desert floor, these small dwellings, conceived by architecture students as alternatives to tents and dormitory rooms, embrace¿and in their own way, celebrate¿the natural, rugged terrain surrounding Frank Lloyd Wright¿s Taliesin West. The earliest shelters were created by adventurous apprentices at the Taliesin Fellowship, a school for architects established by Frank Lloyd Wright in the mid-1930s. After Wright¿s death, a more conventional school¿the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture¿was established, and the practice of designing and building a personal dwelling became a unique feature of the school¿s curriculum. Wright insisted that there would be no armchair architects at his school; apprentices would learn through hard work and first-hand experience. The response to this directive has been astonishingly creative. In addition to honing their design and drafting skills, students comb the desert for dwelling sites; consider the effects of extreme temperature change and winter rain; gather construction materials from surrounding hills and dry riverbeds; and thoroughly explore what Wright termed organic architecture. Collected in Under Arizona Skies are photographs and architectural plans of the most exemplary student shelters built at Taliesin West, as well as personal accounts written by Victor E. Sidy, Dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, and Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, Director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives.

Book excerpt: There comes a time in life when we find ourselves in the desert place of burning questions. Why? Why me? But even as we shake our fist heavenward, the heart whispers another question. Who? Who are you, God? It is a question of relationship, a question we all murmur in the hardest places. Against the backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, Lynne Hartke asks her own hard questions as cancer arrives like a thief with one goal: to take it all. Hair. The contents of a stomach. A marriage. A life. As her days become a blur of doctors' appointments, treatments, and surgeries, she wrestles with a tumble of tangled emotions, a shaken faith, and self-doubt. Cancer is now not only threatening her own life, but, in a surprising twist, the lives of both her parents as well. Through her raw, lyrical words, Hartke invites fellow sojourners to discover that in life's hardest places, they are not alone in their fear, they are not foolish to hope, and they are never forgotten by a loving, pursuing God. Never.

Book excerpt: “Atkinson and Jewell invite each of us to reimagine one’s connection to the land while cultivating nature close to home. A must-read for anyone searching for inspired solutions for designing or refining a garden.” —Emily Murphy, founder of Pass the Pistil From windswept deserts to misty seaside hills and verdant valleys, the natural landscapes of the American West offer an astounding variety of climates for gardens. Under Western Skies reveals thirty-six of the most innovative designs—all embracing and celebrating the very soul of the land on which they grow. For the gardeners featured here, nature is the ultimate inspiration rather than something to be dominated, and Under Western Skies shows the strong connection each garden has with its place. Packed with Atkinson’s stunning photographs and illuminated by Jewell’s deep interest in the relationships between people and the spaces they inhabit, Under Western Skies offers page after page of encouraging ingenuity and inventive design for passionate gardeners who call the West home.

Book excerpt: At twenty-six, the lead singer of Arizona Skies is in danger of becoming a has-been. Hard drinking, hectic schedules, and more than a few women have left Jesse Greene unable to write new songs-a serious problem since the band just signed a lucrative recording contract. Desperate to get Jesse's creative juices flowing again, his manager demands the singer get away from the nightclubs and bars by going on a weeklong cruise to jumpstart his songwriting skills...and hopefully to keep him out of trouble. Jesse is dead set against the idea, but with the band relying on him, he's got little choice. Then he sees her-fellow passenger Bailey Harris. He doesn't know her name or anything about her, but Jesse knows he has to meet her. He's convinced that she holds the keys to unlocking his inspiration-and if not, well, it's only a seven-day cruise. Shipboard romances never last, right? But as worldly as he is, Jesse doesn't count on how deeply Bailey's innocence and sweetness will change his life. And suddenly a weeklong cruise seems all too short.

Jesse is more inspired than ever before, and he's tapped into the best parts of himself because of her, excited and motivated to write and record songs for Arizona Skies's first album. Jesse's planning a long, rewarding future for the first time-a future he longs to share with his inspiration Bailey Harris. The band's first single and video, a song Jesse wrote about when he first saw Bailey, instantly rockets to the top of the charts. The band plans their first tour of the United States, and Jesse begins to fear everything he's gained will be lost if Bailey's not by his side. Jesse struggles with his old life while he waits for Bailey, hoping she will join him. But will she have trouble finding her place in his chaotic life? And can she survive being with a rising rock star? Arizona Skies is poised for a meteoric rise to the top, but will that momentum be enough to keep Jesse's eyes on the prize? Follow Bailey and Jesse as they take their love and life to the next level in Arizona Skies: The Tour. .

Book excerpt: Ever since early stargazers discovered that some heavenly bodies wandered among the others, people have been fascinated by the planets. Kepler calculated their orbits from naked-eye observations; Galileo's telescope made it possible to discern their markings; now observations from spacecraft provide electronically enhanced images that bring these distant worlds even closer. In Worlds in the Sky, William Sheehan gives us a history of this long fascination, weaving together scientific history, anecdotes surrounding planetary discoveries, and the personal reflections of an incurable amateur astronomer. He describes how we arrived at our current understanding of the Moon and the planets and shows how certain individuals in history shaped the world's knowledge about the Solar System.

Book excerpt: Jesse may not have considered the future too deeply when he first set eyes on Bailey, but in the days following the cruise where they met and fell in love, he knows he has no plans to let her leave his life. Back on solid ground, Jesse channels his hope, contentment, and fresh perspective into his work, writing inspired new songs for Arizona Skies. When the first single hits the top of the charts, it's clear that Jesse has found his voice again. But when the band's tour is announced, Jesse realizes everything is meaningless without Bailey. Can their love survive the temptations of the road and Jesse's haunted past?
