Recensioner i media

From the first edition nearly thirty-five years ago, David Grant Noble’s guides to Southwestern ruins have been wonderful companions for those who wish to visit that spectacular past in the field or in their armchairs. Literate, reliable, current, and beautifully illustrated by Noble’s fine photography, Ancient Ruins and Rock Art of the Southwest is a catalogue raisonné of all the major sites—and many new hidden treasures. It is an invaluable guide, written by a gifted author and photographer with deep knowledge of and deep love for his subject. If you haven’t seen these ancient places, this book will guide you there. If you have visited these sites, this book will remind you of why you first sought them out. I will be reading this book in my rocking chair when my field days are done.
