Ceremonial Time is the moment when past, present and future can be perceived simultaneously. Experienced only rarely, usually during ancient dances or rituals, such an escape from time to time is the gift of John Mitchell's extraordinary writing. In the tradition of Desert Solitaire or Sand County Almanac, Ceremonial Time combines reverence for place, powerful narrative, and fascinating detail into a classic of natural/human history
