"Carol Karasik's text, a narrative journey that crosses time and space, describes the landscape of the ancient turquoise trade routes and affirms the inextinguishable vitality of ancient traditions. By tracing the routes of the sacred stone between ancient Mexican civilizations and what is now the American Southwest, she reveals a pathway to the understanding of the interrelations among pre-Columbian peoples. She draws fascinating parallels in myth, religion, and ceremony between the Pueblos and the Mesoamericans, pointing out the many shared graphic images found on jewelry, pots, and other artifacts throughout the Americas." -- WorldCat.
