New Mexico Heroines of the Twentieth Century: Role Models for Today

This book is an impressive compendium of some of New Mexico’s most extraordinary pathbreakers. From the most famous of artists to the lowkey and unsung heroes, due is paid to those who forged wild lives as artists, healers, academics, scientists and as exceptional humans throughout a formative century of economic, scientific, demographic and cultural revival.

Girl Flees Circus

Inspired by Amelia Earhart’s crash landing in Hobbs, C.W. Smith weaves a heartwarming waylaid adventure in post-WWI New Mexico. The story is witty, epic, mysterious and altogether unique.

House Gods, Sustainable Buildings and Renegade Builders

This is not a book about how to build sustainably, but rather an exploration of why.

From the author of “Navajos Wear Nikes,” this is a hardy exploration to map the philosophies that guide those who break paradigms to build not only shelter, but a transcendent relationship with the space and time they occupy.
