Art & Adventures Publications announces the February 2012 publication of

Welcome to Death Valley! A Guided Tour Through California’s Death Valley National Park

A colorful children’s book about the great desert national park written and illustrated by the three time Death Valley artist-in-residence Janet Morgan.

 

Mention Death Valley and most people imagine a desolate lifeless place. But the real Death Valley is full of life - it hums and rattles and caws; its dynamic landscape has been shaped by volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, wind and heat. Starting early in the morning the big black ravens Ravenna and Ramone are eager to take us on a tour of their home. From sunrise at Zabriskie Point we fly us over evidence of the flash floods that have carved the land, down to the lowest, hottest and driest place in North America. Death Valley has it all. Standing on the salt flats at Badwater Basin 282 feet below sea level you can look up to the snowy top of Telescope Peak 11,000 feet above you. Few people get far from the main roads and know little of the vast and varied beauty of the park, which is 3 million acres, the size of the state of Connecticut. Getting a child hooked on Death Valley will get them excited about geology, biology, and ecology, and our amazing National Parks, opening them to endless things to learn about and enjoy.

THREE ARTISTS IN THE ANDES BOOK
	Published March 2011 by the Maria Henle Studio, St. Croix With an introduction by Maud Pierre-Charles Three Artists in the Andes is a 32 page paperback with 7 color illustrations Postage & handling is $4.00
	The promise of viewing a total solar eclipse in 1994 inspired a group of artists to travel far beyond  the end of the road into Bolivia’s Atacama Desert. This book features paintings of barren volcanic  landscapes two miles above sea level, with a story that recounts the magic the mind can create amid salt lakes, peaks, geysers and remote outposts that reside far outside most of our experiences. $20
	This new book inspired the following poem from the wonderful artist/poet Terry Hauptman! MIRROR OF FATE         For the painters  Greg Frux, Janet Morgan and Maria Henle   Black Jaguar       Dances the living embers             Of the salt-desert’s Altiplano                   Opening the dark   Chewing coca leaves       This solar eclipse             Under the cordillera’s                   Sulfur and iron-oxide sky   Tunupha       The Aymara God of Storms             Strikes the wind-walking hive                   At friendship’s gate                         Near the end of the world.     God’s eye   the bruja’s  light, Ancient earth Painted like a prayer.
