House of Rain: Tracking a Vanished Civilization Across the American Southwest by Craig Childs
"The greatest 'unsolved mystery' of the American Southwest is the fate of the Anasazi, the native peoples who in the 11th century converged on Chaco Canyon (in today's northwestern New Mexico) and built a flourishing cultural center, a vital crossroads of the prehistoric world. Their accomplishments- in agriculture, art, commerce, and engineering- were astounding. By the 13th century, however, the Anasazi were gone from the region. Vanished. What brought about the rapid collapse of their civilization? Craig Childs draws on the latest scholarship, as well as on a lifetime of adventure and exploration in the most forbidding landscapes of the Southwest, to frame the question in a whole new light."
