"When Richard Grant and his wife moved with their four-year-old daughter back to Tucson, Arizona, where the couple first met, he expected to easily rekindle his love of the region. Instead, he found a housing market gone haywire, rampant election conspiracies, and right-wing political violence alarmingly close to his home and family. Undocumented immigration was surging, and the state was also on the front lines of climate change, breaking heat and drought records, and running out of long-term water supplies. Under these circumstances, Grant wondered how he might raise a happy, well-adjusted child who believes in the future. Yet these concerns weren't keeping people away: Arizona was simultaneously experiencing some of the nation's highest population growth. Grant mixes memoir, research, and reporting in a quest to understand what makes Arizona such a confounding and irresistible place its the world's largest machine-gun shoot; takes a sunset boat cruise with a US Congressman and a group of far-right patriots; rides through the desert with a Border Patrol agent; and goes camping with his family in breathtaking mountain ranges that rise out of the desert like islands in the sky persed with these adventures are recollections of his previous stint in the state, including his friendship with cult writer Charles Bowden and years living off the grid with smugglers, dope farmers, and outlaws on the Mexican border. Ultimately, Grant arrives at the conclusion that Arizona has always been a scattershot improvisation, with bizarre and extreme behavior in its DNA."--

The Lightning Field is a series of portraits of people and out-of-the-way places in New Mexico and, occasionally, neighboring states. Eaton ranges throughout the region, and few of his destinations are on the standard tourist itinerary--this is not the New Mexico of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, or Taos. We spend a day at a huge work of minimalist land art near Quemado, a weekend at an isolated Benedictine monastery near Abiquiu, and a winter in the haunting and disconcerting isolation of Chaco Canyon. The author skillfully weaves accounts of his contemporary travels and experiences with historical anecdotes and vivid descriptions of the landscape to evoke the spirit of the Land of Enchantment, from the stark beauty of the high plains of northeastern New Mexico to the remote border region of the Boot Heel in the southwestern corner of the state. The Lightning Field was originally published in 1995 by Johnson Books of Boulder, Colorado. This revised edition includes the author's minor corrections and edits to the original text. "In these arresting vignettes, Eaton transverses New Mexico to plumb the depths of its magical beauty and explore the state's silent places. The radiance of Eaton's prose rests in its masterful restraint, whether he is lyrically conveying a sense of place or rendering respectful portraits of the individuals he meets. . . . Every adventure is an enthralling gift to readers." Alice Joyce, Booklist "There is a temptation to just call this a travel book, but it is more than that. This is compelling reading, and I highly recommend it." THM, Books of the Southwest "[His] deep identity with the land has helped Robert Eaton write a literate and fascinating work about New Mexico. For me, he is one of its finest contemporary interpreters. " John Nizalowski, Telluride Times-Journal
