The Mountains Know Arizona: Images of the Land and Stories of Its People

Rating:
Summary: Catches the spirit!
Review: I live in the world here photographed and elegized, so I've seen a lot of attempts to capture this great land. This is the best. Evocative writing, set against INCREDIBLE photographs. This is truly a must have book. Hats off!

Summary: Great photos, but you'd think mountains have no geology!
Review: Yes, stupendous, top-notch photography.. but my high expectations from the author Collier, a geologist by training, were dashed against the rocks when I discovered nearly zero geology in the text. Collier wrote A LAND IN MOTION about the San Andreas fault and you'd think he could've included more on a subject near and dear to his heart for Arizona's tectonic history. Yes, there are books out there on Arizona geology, but I'm not sure they contain photos like these. An ARIZONA HIGHWAYS beauty for the coffee table, but also a missed opportunity for Collier.
