The Mountains Know
Arizona
Text by Rose Houk, photographs by
Michael Collier 272 pages, hardcover $49.95. Arizona Highways
Books, 2003.
If you can tear yourself away from the
spectacular photos — including some mind-numbing aerial shots
(see page 14) — to read the accompanying
words, you will be rewarded. In this chunky coffee-table book, Houk
and Collier divide the state into its mountain ranges, dissect the
landscape and tell its stories. The photos of the Chuska and
Lukachukai Mountains on the Navajo reservation — where
tourists and Anglo hikers aren't allowed — will make desert
lovers drool.
