Book Description

March 1, 1987
The Anasazi Indians of the Southwest represent 2,500 years of cultural continuity, from the early Basket Makers of 700 B.C. to their modern descendants, the Pueblo Indians. The pueblos and cliff dwellings they built during their halcyon days between 1100 and 1500 A.D. are the most spectacular ruins north of Mexico. In this book, all of the significant and accessible Anasazi ruins are photographed and described in detail. Special attention is paid to the magnificent sites of Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, and Kayenta. Also included are illustrations of rock art and examples of the delicate jewelry and beautiful ceramics that have survived.

More About the Author

I was born in Houston and raised in Arizona. I went to undergraduate school at Arizona State and law school at the University of Houston.
I then spent four years in the Marine Corps. They called me 'Captain Bill.'

My current career began as a divorce attorney. My focus was on having my clients heal their relationship, one human being to another. In the process, I learned a lot about what creates and destroys love.
15 % of my clients never divorced and the ones who did were able to part as friends.

In 1985, I closed my law practice and put all my focus on healing relationships and having life work. Since then, I have led over 2,000 workshops and have worked with thousands of people.

My first book, How To Heal A Painful Relationship, was featured on Oprah and became a national best seller. I have also written Heal The Hurt That Sabotages Your Life and Miracles Are Guaranteed.

My websites, www.masteryoflife.com and www.divorceasfriends.com receive over 20,000 visitors a month. The Divorceasfriends site was recommended by The Wall Street Journal.

This review is from: Anasazi Ruins of the Southwest (Paperback)
This book has tons of color and B&W pictures and some of the best pictures of the southwest ruins you are ever going to find. It also has numerous site maps illustrating the ruins and their vicinity. The pictures are not just your everyday tourbook photos. They are spectacular. The author mixes numerous aerial shots that show you overviews of the sites and mixes in a generous amount of detail shots to help you see what the sites look like when you are there. There are also sketches and conceptual drawings which tell about the history. Just because there are a lot of photos, do not think the text is lacking. The book has all you would ever need to know about the sites including history, archeological finds etc. It accomplishes this amazingly enough without boring the reader. The most important thing about this book is that it is comprehensive. An example is its description of Mesa Verde park which is 44 pages of text and pictures. The section includes a detailed description of the stops you can make off ruins road as well as maps and pictures of sites you can't even access. Overall, this is the book you want to have when you plan your trip and the one you want on your coffee table to show your friends and family where you have been. A must have for anyone fascinated by the Anasazi culture.

This book seemed to have a lot of information. There were a ton of pictures which I also liked. I did get it for a gift so I have not read it in detail but it seemed like a good book.
