	The Narrows Rock Art in Archeological Context (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Narrows was officially recorded as an archeological site in 1934, when a crew under the University of Arkansas Museum Director, Samuel C. Dellinger, visited the site and made brief notes (University of Arkansas Museum Field Book No. 14, page 50).
		Fifteen or 16 of the figures (a few are indistinct) are arranged in a panel consisting of two rows, one on top of the other, with a much larger figure on the west end which covers the height of both rows.
		Makers of The Narrows petroglyphs carefully planned their location within the shelter, probably going so far as to clean out the soil and cultural debris all the way down to shelter bedrock at the back wall/floor juncture.

		However, shortly after its construction in July 1940 (opened to traffic on July 1), it was discovered that winds through the Tacoma Narrows caused vortex shedding on the bridge, which then induced resonance in the bridge, causing it to sway and buckle dangerously in windy conditions.
		In the case of the Tacoma Narrows bridge, this mode was negatively damped, meaning it increased in amplitude with each cycle.
		The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse (1940) is preserved in the US National Film Registry, and is still shown to engineering students as a cautionary tale.

		In places the walls of the Canyon are polished smooth from the action of water and rocks over the years and the colors of these rocks are simply amazing – changing from red to white to gray and fl depending upon the rocks you’re near and the angle of the sun.
		The Narrows are slightly cooler because they don’t get as much sun, but it was still in the 90’s and you need to be constantly drinking water to stay hydrated.
		The Narrows is located in Zion National Park – which is open year round, but the roads are not maintained in the wintertime.

		The Verrazano Narrows Bridge (often written as the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge) is a suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City at the Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay and with the larger lower bay.
		The bridge is named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano, the first known European navigator to enter New York Harbor and the Hudson River.
		In response, LaCorte contacted Attorney General Robert Kennedy, the president's brother, who told Lecorte that he would make sure the bridge would not be named for his brother.Despite the success of LaCorte, the official name was widely ignored by local news outlets at the time of the dedication.

	The Narrows by Michael Connelly Review by Ron DeSourdis
		My own discomfort with Bosch's new storytelling mode is compounded by the fact that in The Narrows it alternates, sometimes within individual chapters, with the story as told in the third person when the action revolves around FBI agent Rachel Walling (from Connelly's 1996 standalone novel The Poet).
		Besides FBI agent Rachel Walling and her nemesis Robert Backus, The Narrows also calls into play (from Blood Work) Terry McCaleb (in name only), his wife Graciela and his eager if fairly insufferable pal Buddy Lockhart.
		Overall, despite reservations about the narrative style, The Narrows is a fast-paced, rewarding read, and I look forward to the next appearance of Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch, Even though Connelly indicates that he will be back as a member of LA's finest, and that his PI days are over.
