Celebrating the colorful legacy of both New Mexico's first 100 years of
statehood, this book is a stunning celebration of this Southwestern
state's scenic wonders. Remarkable color photographs feature the
timeless vistas, majestic landmarks, and cultural icons the Land of
Enchantment is known for worldwide--as well as never-before-seen
portraits of the state's luminous landscapes and hidden gems. John
Annerino casts an artist's, adventurer's, and scholar's perspective on
renowned international destinations he knows intimately. He weaves each
New Mexico's natural history, legends, and storied human history into
evocative introductory essays. Evocative quotes from early travelers,
writers, and photographers, whose own journeys defined their character
as much as their prose, poetry, and images later defined our modern
perceptions of New Mexico's extraordinary Western landscape also shape
this tribute to a magnificent place in the American landscape.
