Rocky Mountain Land Series with Craig Childs - Finders Keepers

Historic LoDo: Naturalist, adventurer, desert ecologist, and frequent contributor to National Public Radio’s Morning Edition, Craig Childs’ bestselling books include Crossing Paths, The Desert Cries, and The Secret Knowledge of Water. Childs will read from and sign his new book Finders Keepers: A Tale of Archaeological Plunder and Obsession ($24.99 Little, Brown). Beyond what most people think about archaeology—with its cleanly numbered dates, and discoveries—lies a vibrant and controversial realm of scientists, thieves, and contested land claims. In his new book, Childs explores the field’s transgressions against the cultures it tries to preserve and pauses to ask: To whom does the past belong? Written in Childs’ trademark lyrical style, this riveting book carries readers directly into his adventures and discoveries, lifting the curtain on the ethical dilemmas and dark side of archaeology.
