Author: Thomas Wiewandt, Maureen Wilks

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - Books built around the astonishing beauty of the American Southwest seem to be everywhere. But this one really is different, in ways that will appeal to travelers and residents alike. It\'s full of visual and factual surprises, and each page-spread is self-contained for clarity and ease of use on the road.

The text blends travel tips, Native American legends, prehistoric and historic vignettes, and -as a unifying theme- explanations of earthly processes and events that have shaped land, people, and wildlife. The writing is informative without being academic. Readers will discover musical dunes and racing rocks, vanishing lakes and dinosaur tracks... which volcanoes are potentially dangerous, what makes the Grand Canyon grand, how the Painted Desert got its colors, and much, much more.

The broad geographic scope of this book -the Greater Southwest- is defined more by natural features than by political boundaries. With it, readers can explore desert and canyon landscapes that stretch from southern California to western Texas and from northern Mexico to northern Nevada, Utah, and Colorado.
