The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and SkyIn this invigorating mix of natural history and adventure, artist naturalist Ellen Meloy uses turquoise the color and the gem to probe deeper into our profound human attachment to landscape. From the Sierra Nevada, the Mojave Desert, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Bahamas to her home ground on the high plateaus and deep canyons of the Southwest, we journey with Meloy through vistas of both great beauty and great desecration.

In this invigorating mix of natural history and adventure, artist-naturalist Ellen Meloy uses turquoise--the color and the gem--to probe deeper into our profound human attachment to landscape. From the Sierra Nevada, the Mojave Desert, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Bahamas to her home ground on the high plateaus and deep canyons of the Southwest, we journey with Meloy through vistas of both great beauty and great desecration. Her keen vision makes us look anew at ancestral mountains, turquoise seas, and even motel swimming pools. She introduces us to Navajo "velvet grandmothers" whose attire and aesthetics absorb the vivid palette of their homeland, as well as to Persians who consider turquoise the life-saving equivalent of a bullet-proof vest. Throughout, Meloy invites us to appreciate along with her the endless surprises in all of life and celebrates the seduction to be found in our visual surroundings.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect Winter Boots
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Navy
I bought these for a trip to Iceland for my little one. They held up perfectly to lots of walking and playing! No break in period, and my little one was comfy the entire time! Warm happy feet is what you can expect with these boots!

Cute but not totally practical
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy
These are cute and decent quality but they are so short they aren’t practical if you live where there is snow. Deep snow just ends up in the boot. Great for cold but no snow or slightly wet and muddy days.

They’re good but they don’t last
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Navy
Got them for my 5yo. They were not overly abused, but they got a big hold two-three months in. They’re unusable and I’m sad about the surprisingly poor quality for these boots.

this size 13 stride rite boot has the exact same internal length as the stride rite size 12 1/2 made-to-play sneaker (that shes growing out of). the insoles are the exact same length. wont work. would have been perfect if it fit.
