BOOK EXCERPT:
At the dawn of the 1990 autumn equinox, Courtney Milne climbed into the bucket of a hydraulic lift and was hoisted forty feet into the air beside the Big Horn Medicine Wheel in northern Wyoming. From that perspective, it seemed to him as though the Big Horn wheel linked the distant plains with the heavens. And so, the wheel became the starting point of his photographic journey as he followed each spoke across the continent in search of sacred landscapes.

BOOK EXCERPT:
In a series of pioneering studies, this book examines the creation—and the conflict behind the creation—of sacred space in America. The essays in this volume visit places in America where economic, political, and social forces clash over the sacred and the profane, from wilderness areas in the American West to the Mall in Washington, D.C., and they investigate visions of America as sacred space at home and abroad. Here are the beginnings of a new American religious history—told as the story of the contested spaces it has inhabited. The contributors are David Chidester, Matthew Glass, Edward T. Linenthal, Colleen McDannell, Robert S. Michaelsen, Rowland A. Sherrill, and Bron Taylor.
