 Arizona:
The Beauty of It All
Some of the country's best landscape photogaphers and a seasoned
Arizona explorer team up to present a lyrical portrait of a
state rich in natural beauty, the immense sculpted layers of
the Grand Canyon, the rock monoliths jutting from Monument Valley,
and otherworldly landscapes featuring richly colored deserts,
mountains, canyons, valleys and plateaus.
 A
Photographic Tour of 1916 Prescott, Arizona
In the spring of 1916, an unknown photographer captured the
heart of Prescott, Arizona. For decades the fruits of that labor,
a collection of glass plate negatives, lay largely forgotten
in the local opera house and theater. Now, an historic western
town comes to life as it once was, through images of the town's
business district as found on those photographic plates. Step
into a soda fountain, a pool hall, a mercantile, a haberdashery,
a saddlery and more, and experience life as it existed in the
newly minted state of Arizona in the early twentieth century.
This pictorial history of Prescott, Arizona, is based upon over
140 images from the 1916 glass-plate negatives. Complementary
images of business advertisements, trade tokens, and streetscapes
supplement the main photographs. Richly detailed captions highlight
many aspects of the pictures, and the text further explores
and describes the town's historic downtown district, much of
which still exists. Maps, a bibliography and an index complete
the work. Arizona Photography.
 The
Grand Canyon and the South West
Next to Yosemite and the High Sierra, the Southwest was closest
to Ansel Adams' heart. It was there, in the early 1930s, that
he met photographer Paul Strand and decided to make photography
his life's work. In this volume, roughly one quarter of the
photographs, selected and edited by Adams' longtime editor Andrea
Stillman, are little-known images of the Grand Canyon. Arizona
