A University of Wyoming professor's book has been nominated by ForeWord Review's for the 2013 Science Book of the Year Award.

Marcel Kornfeld's 'The First Rocky Mountaineers: Coloradans Before Colorado" is one of six books in the category.

The book was released last fall and is based on archaeological research in Colorado's Middle Park area.  It serves as a pre-history of religion's earliest people, Paleo Indians, and the end of the Ice Age.
