Spirits Dancing

Spirits Dancing is a beautiful and awe-inspiring book beautifully illustrated on every page with amazing full color photographs by Travis Novistsky and insightful text by accomplished astrophysicist Annette S. Lee, PhD, MFA.  This gorgeous book is an exploration of human connection to the aurora, the Milky Way, and the wonder of the universe above us. Travis (Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa) is a nature and wildlife photographer living in Grand Portage, Minnesota. Annette (mixed- race Native American of Lakota, Chinese, and Irish ancestry) is an astrophysicist, an artist, and the director of the Native Skywatchers research and programming initiative. 

The text of this book weaves together fascinating narratives from three worldviews-scientific, cultural, and personal- in our human relationship to the night sky, with special attention to the aurora borealis, or northern lights. The spectacular photography brings the night sky into your hands.
