This review is from: Arizona Roadside Discoveries: A Guidebook to the National and Human History of Arizona's Roadways (Paperback)

There's a lot to see and learn about Arizona as you whiz by on the roads. This book points out interesting facts and background about both the natural and man-made things you encounter. And it's easy to use since aerial maps mark each road milepost that corresponds to something of interest. A great family diversion and teaching opportunity to relieve a boring car trip.
