The Map Rock of Idaho is not a typical rock art site. These petroglyphs represent a verifiable map of the surrounding area. The symbols, carved deeply and precisely into solid rock, all correlate with real physical locations in the local geographic area. The map was carved with visual reference points by people who lived in the Snake River Canyon of Idaho long before European settlers arrived, and we must see the area from their vantage points. The Map Rock of Idaho Decoded reads like a textbook crossed with a field guide, interspersed with the author's struggles to finally unravel this mystery. The author guides you through a step-by-step journey of the demonstrable landmarks and archaeoastronomical elements of the map. While this theory is written to be as simple and self-evident as possible (with illustrations and 36 full color photographs), the only way to truly grasp the relationship between the symbols on the Map Rock and the actual landmarks that the symbols represent, is to physically follow the map yourself. It is meant to be experienced firsthand in the natural setting of the Map Rock, and is not intended to be easily understood from the comforts of home.

It is the early 1950s. A nameless man is found on the steps of the hospital in Iasi, Romania. He is deaf and mute, but a young nurse named Safta recognizes him from the past and brings him paper and pencils so that he might draw. Gradually, memories appear on the page: the man is Augustin, the cook's son at the manor house at Poiana where Safta was the privileged daughter. Born six months apart, they had a connection that bypassed words, but while Augustin's world stayed the same size, Safta's expanded to embrace languages, society, and a fleeting love one long, hot summer. But then came war, and in its wake a brutal Stalinist regime, and nothing would remain the same. Georgina Harding's kaleidoscopic new novel will appeal to readers of Anne Michaels, Michael Ondaatje, and Sandor Marai. It is as intense and submerging as rain, as steeped in the horrors of our recent history as it is in the intimate passions of the human heart.
