Sky Theater is a collection of opinion writing by Heidi Marttila-Losure from her time as editor of Dakotafire magazine. The 45 articles include perspectives on agriculture, technology, education, health, wealth and even the benefits of long underwear. The title comes from one of the underappreciated benefits of rural living: an unobstructed view of the ever-changing sky. This edition includes 54 black and white images. Silver Winner: Cover Design—Non-Fiction, IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Program for Excellence in Book Publishing Finalist: New Non-Fiction, National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist: Regional Non-Fiction: Midwest, National Indie Excellence Awards " (This book) is a hard-hitting collection that should be inevery rural reader's hands and, unexpectedly, also in every urban dweller'sthoughts. Sky Theater is very, very highly recommended for itsexplorations and attitudes that ultimately seek to unite philosophies andperspectives, eschewing the usual approach that pinpoints 'right' and 'wrong'sides and thus increases divisions and conflicts. It's easily one of the most important books published in recent months to consider the boundaries between rural and urban thinkers andhow to draw both communities closer together with common ground andperspectives that benefit each." --D.Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
