ABOUT THIS BOOK
“Ceremonial time” occurs when past, present, and future can be perceived simultaneously. Experienced only rarely, usually during ritual dance, this escape from linear time is the vehicle for John Mitchell’s extraordinary writing. In this, his most magical book, he traces the life of a single square mile in New England, from the last ice age through years of human history, including bear shamans, colonists, witches, local farmers, and encroaching industrial “parks.” See other books on: Indigenous Peoples in the Americas | Massachusetts | Mitchell, John Hanson | Natural History | New England (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT) See other titles from University Press of New England |
