Childs answers the call of fierce places; the more desolate the landscape, the more passionately he is drawn to it. For Childs, these are the types of terrain that sharpen the senses, and demand a physicality the modern civilized world no longer requires.

Wow. Here we go again. Craig Childs and the rugged landscape of the Southwest -- what an enriching combination and a guarantee of good writing and thoughtful content.
There are many adventures in this book : Childs alone in the desert as well as Childs with friends and/or his wife. SOUL OF NOWHERE is a spiritual quest as well as a physical adventure. He is able to put into vivid word pictures his interactions with self, friends, and the land that readers can feel as if they are there too.
It?s an amazing book of self-discovery, self-reliance, and soul-searching as he explores the land and his relationship to it and to the ancient peoples who traveled before him.
Every good book of nonfiction worth reading had an extensive bibliography, and Childs does not fail us on this subject.
Break away from common, everyday literature and enjoy this fresh approach, freshly written. Read it and search for the soul of nowhere that dwells deep within all of us if placed in the same circumstances that Childs dares to challenge.
