The content is a continuous and relatively brief read. It is 
 designed to provide an "easy to read" chronological history 
 from the earliest people in the western hemisphere through the 
 two thousand year epic of the Anasazi and to the advent of the 
 Europeans in America. It traces the beginning and evolution of 
 farming and architecture along with society and religion to 
 reveal a well rounded study of these fascinating people. Half 
 of the content is artwork displaying the Anasazi as a vibrant 
 living people. Norm used some of the earliest photographs of 
 Native America people and modern photographs to make art 
 sketches and combined these in photographic and art settings to 
 make art/realistic images.  Scenes of hunting, major events and 
 ceremony are mixed with images of daily life and all set in 
 dramatic southwest vistas.  There are many educational 
 possibilities for teachers and parents alike. There are lessons 
 in how man began developing agriculture and architecture along 
 with government and large scale society.  Emphasis is placed 
 on several subjects that provide learning experiences.
 
  1. The Anasazi were matriarchal or egalitarian with many 
  tribes strongly women focused. Their God was female and 
  many legends feature women heroines. This fosters thinking 
  on the student’s part of different types of sociological 
  development and how this changes the entire society. There 
  is a "special essay" on female centered cultures.
  
  2. The Anasazi were keen astronomers timing farming and 
  ceremony by observations from the sky. Students can make 
  their own astronomy observatories and time school events 
  for future classes. There is a "special essay" on astronomy.
  
  3. There are interesting observations about the 
  Spanish/European invasion of the Anasazi homeland and 
  culture and how it played a role in the lives of modern 
  Pueblo Indians.
  
  4. There are two maps of the Anasazi homeland. One is a 
  satellite image with locations overlaying the actual 
  terrain of the area. The second is a map done in the style 
  of a Southwest Indian sand painting with routes to pueblos 
  and ruin sites.
  
  5. A third map shows the Anasazi road system, the first 
  roads built in America.
  
  6. There is a section on the development of clothing and 
  ceremonial dress.
  
  7. A special essay discusses the Anasazi communication 
  network. Referred to as the Anasazi Internet it allowed 
  the people to be in contact over a large area.
