"This book could not have been completed without the help from my backers on Kickstarter. My research took me to Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. I went in search of sites that embodied the spirit of transformation and in the process found myself transformed. I am grateful for the support of friends, family, and all the folks who told me their stories, gave me a tour, answered my questions, and invited me into their homes and their lives. In an edition of 30..."--Colophon.
"In the summer of 2011, I traveled to historical sites in the southwest that inspired me because of the way they had been revived. The history and integrity of the buildings had been preserved in a way that now benefits the surrounding community. Often it seems that historical and cultural landmarks are preserved in a way that makes them more like museums - they become shells of the buildings they once were, and stand silent as tombs. But some of the sites I found on this tip have been resurrected - they maintain their histories while acting as a relevant and vibrant part of the community. I was moved by this transformation, and the people behind it. This book highlights eight locations that are a testament to the spirit of innovation and preservation."--Introduction.
