Beautiful illustrated and photographed Book

Albuquerque is probably most famous for being the place that Bugs Bunny knew he should have taken that left turn at. But it is so much more! A beautifully situated city at the foot of the Sandia Mountains with some geographical features that are among the most unique and interesting in the world. This Book does it justice. Well written and wondefully illustrated this book catches the eye and helps visitor and resident alike appreciate the geological bounty and mineral wealth as well as the cultural diversity of this region. The first 65 pages lay out the academic and historical information that must be understood and appreciated to get the most out of the rest of the book which provides turn by turn directions to get out and experience for yourself what the pictures show. Well enough done that even if you do not intend to do the trips, you will get a great deal of pleasure just reviewing the book and soaking in the beautiful pictures and illustrations.
