Anasazi World
Dewitt Jones and Linda S. Cordell
 Here is the most up-to-date and accurate story of the Anasazi and their fascinating world. This ancient civilization disappeared from the Southwest by A.D. 1300, leaving behind their amazing cliff dwellings, but few other clues as to their existence.
Noted anthropologist, Linda Cordell, has written an informative text for Anasazi World that traces the clues and weaves the most complete story of these people to date. Ms. Cordell is chairperson of the Department of Anthropology, University of New Mexico, and has conducted extensive field research for more than a decade in southwestern archeology. Her knowledge and research provide new thinking as to the probable disappearance of this ancient prehistoric people. She has published numerous technical and general articles on southwest Indians.
Professional photographer Dewitt Jones has journeyed throughout the ruins on numerous trips including assignments under contract with the National Geographic Society. His full-color photographs convey the beauty and sophistication of these now silent palaces. Jones’ previous books include What the Road Passes By and John Muir’s America.
