    “This mountain’s story is extraordinary”, said mother, writer, ecologist and artist Gwen Waring, who will introduce her new book on the natural history of the San Francisco Peaks. “The Peaks is described as a sky island, as it harbors species and communities of plants that often occur nowhere else in Arizona. The question of how tiny tundra plants made it to the Peaks across harsh habitats from northern mountains will always be somewhat of a mystery,” she said.  

    Waring will describe the formation of the region, by seas and then continental processes, and then how the eruption of the San Francisco Volcanic field overtopped it all.

    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
