MISSION: Southwest Research and Information Center is a multi-cultural organization working to promote the health of people and communities, protect natural resources, ensure citizen participation, and secure environmental and social justice now and for future generations

Winter 2001 Edition

Southwest Research and Information Center would like to thank Terry Tempest Williams for her generous offer to excerpt a portion of her new novel RED: Passion and Patience in the Desert into this issue of Voices from the Earth. These excerpts give the reader a glimpse into how place affects people, and vice-versa. These words provide a look into our world, in how "place + people = politics." We hope you enjoy Terry Tempest Williams writings as much as we did, and see the world through newly opened eyes.

Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert is published by Pantheon Books. It can be purchased at your local bookseller. Please support local businesses.
