“It’s almost like ballet. Preflight. Starting. Warm-up. The voices from the control tower—the instructions. Taxiing. The rush down the runway. Airborne. There are names for every move. The run-up. Position and hold. Every move needs to be learned, practiced, made so familiar you feel the patterns in every other thing you do. It’s technical, yes. But there is a grace to getting metal and bone into the sky.” Prairie Sky is a celebration of curiosity and a book for explorers. In this collection of contemplative essays, Scott Olsen invites readers to view the world from a pilot’s seat, demonstrating how, with just a little bit of altitude, the world changes, new relationships become visible, and new questions seem to rise up from the ground. Whether searching for the still-evident shores of ancient lakes, the dustbowl-era shelterbelt supposed to run the length of the country, or the even more elusive understandings of physics and theology, Olsen shares the unique perspective and insight allowed to pilots. Prairie Sky explores the reality as well as the metaphor of flight: notions of ceaseless time and boundless space, personal interior and exterior vision, social history, meteorology, and geology. Olsen takes readers along as he chases a new way of looking at the physical world and wonders aloud about how the whole planet moves in interconnected ways not visible from the ground. While the northern prairie may call to mind images of golden harvests and summer twilight such images do not define the region. The land bears marks left by gut-shaking thunderstorms, hard-frozen rivers, sweeping floods, and hurricane-size storms. Olsen takes to the midwestern sky to confront the ordinary world and reveals the magic--the wondrous and unique sights visible from the pilot’s seat of a Cessna. Like Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s classic work Wind, Sand and Stars, Olsen’s Prairie Sky reveals the heart of what it means to fly. In the grand romantic tradition of the travel essay, it opens the dramatic paradoxes of self and collective, linear and circular, the heart and the border.

Will Ever yield to the whispers of her heart and her passion for Ben, or will the pulse of the city once more drown out the call of the countryside? Ever Wolton, a grieving artist, escapes the suffocating city streets for her family's farm, entangled in a web of heartache and choices. Amidst the idyllic embrace of Prairie Sky Acres, she wrestles with her father's legacy and the enigmatic farmhand, Ben Hastings, whose strength and kindness beckon from the sun-drenched fields. As the sun sets on her uncertainty, a sizzling chemistry ignites, drawing Ever deeper into the allure of small-town life and reigniting her artistic passion. However, shadows from the past cast doubt on her future, and the allure of city lights threatens to sever the blossoming connection with Ben. In a poignant exploration of love, loss, and heritage, Ever teeters on the precipice of her ultimate decision—a choice that will shape her happiness and the fate of Prairie Sky Acres itself. With evocative storytelling that embraces the raw beauty of romance, Prairie Sky radiates warmth, melting even the most guarded hearts. Engrossing family secrets and tender revelations punctuate this love story, like vivid brushstrokes on Ever's canvas, offering readers a profound and heartfelt narrative that resonates with the duality of grounded simplicity and soaring dreams.

In Under Prairie Skies, C. Thomas Shay asks and answers the question, What role did plants play in the lives of early inhabitants of the northern Great Plains? Since humans arrived at the end of the Ice Age, plants played important roles as Native peoples learned which were valuable foods, which held medicinal value, and which were best for crafts. Incorporating Native voices, ethnobotanical studies, personal stories, and research techniques, Under Prairie Skies shows how, since the end of the Ice Age, plants have held a central place in the lives of Native peoples. Eventually some groups cultivated seed-bearing annuals and, later, fields of maize and other crops. Throughout history, their lives became linked with the land, both materially and spiritually.
