| Publisher Description: Internationally renowned photographer Lucian Niemeyer and National Park Service historian Art G mez have combined talents in this stunning presentation of the Land of Enchantment. Niemeyer's more than 150 color photographs and G mez's sweeping history encompass the entire state throughout the seasons, presenting the region's people, cultures, and magnificent scenery. New Mexico's mountains, deserts, and rivers form natural corridors that migrating birds and animals have traditionally used for survival. Navigating these same corridors across the state, Paleo, Plains, and Pueblo Indians, Hispanos, and Anglos forged viable communities on the astringent New Mexican landscape. |
