From sagebrush flats to spruce-topped ridges, New Mexico stacks its stories in layers: Indian beginnings, Spanish missions, Anglo-American boom towns, and the rocks that hold them all. Christiansen weaves geology, botany and human history into a single portrait of the land. See how a desert state grew its scenery, its plants, and its people.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
