Where the Rain Children Sleep: A Sacred Geography of the Colorado PlateauInspired by a year of hiking 120 desert canyons, Where the Rain Children Sleep is nature writing in the best tradition of Edward Abbey, Ellen Meloy, and Craig Childs. Much more than one man's memoir of his time in these canyons, it is an eclectic, well informed, critical, and in depth collection punctuated by flashes of humor and whimsy. The vivid thread connecting these essays is the Navajo concept of a "sacred geography." Michael Engelhard has
Inspired by a year of hiking 120 desert canyons, Where the Rain Children Sleep is nature writing in the best tradition of Edward Abbey, Ellen Meloy, and Craig Childs. Much more than one man's memoir of his time in these canyons, it is an eclectic, well-informed, critical, and in-depth collection punctuated by flashes of humor and whimsy. The vivid thread connecting these essays is the Navajo concept of a "sacred geography." Michael Engelhard has traveled and explored the Southwest for close to twenty years. His heartfelt portrayal of this region straddles the fences normally separating natural history, ethnography, personal reflection, and travel narrative. These essays spring from a growing concern that the song of the land, the stories of these places, and the voices of their nonhuman and indigenous inhabitants might not be heard against the din of bulldozers, powerboats, turbines, and four-wheelers.Binding Type: Paperback

Fun read.
Format: Paperback
Good artwork. Decent story. While not the best Krakoan era story it is interesting story with a fun set of characters.

a very good read for a very different type of x-book
Format: Paperback
Love almost everything about this series. Especially Kwannon/Psylocke. She is the star of this book, and even after these 6 issues, a better character than we see of Betsy/Captain Britain in Excalibur after 12 issues.

Nanny vs Mr sinister is
Format: Kindle
A book I wanna read. The fact that he's terrified of the egg lady is hilarious. Also. Spoilers to follow
When Orphan Makers armor was cracked what was the gas that came out?
Poor Havok can't seem to ever catch a break. He keeps getting put into no win situations that have finally started to break him .
Empath, Harpoon(?), and nanny really didn't need to be on the team. Considering Empath was killed almost immediately, nanny was taken out easily and w c was hiding til he got beat by psylock.
The art was better than it has been and the story was enjoyable. Plot holes notwithstanding.
Overall I give it a solid: B

Artwork excellent

I like the overall story but it got stuck in a few places. The overall expectations are promising and plan to follow storylines.
