Book Description

February 28, 2003
Copper Canyon 2002-2003

This much in demand edition has a major feature on the newly discovered Crystal Cave of the Giants, the largest crystals on earth. This guidebook is for those wishing to experience the heart and soul of Copper Canyon and the Sierra Tarahumara. This is the first guidebook to deal exclusively with Copper Canyon, featuring all new photographs of the famous railroad trip through the Sierra Madre. Traditional Tarahumara festivals documented here have never been seen in any previous publication.

Did you ever wonder about the mysterious Anasazi? Where did they come from, what made them so special and where did they go? This new book rewrites Anasazi theory from top to bottom. What does a traditional Tarahumara think about everyday that the Anasazi also thought about daily? This book presents a completely new, original and unique analysis of the Anasazi puzzle from a Tarahumara ethnographic, historical, archaeological and scientific basis. This book may be a "shock to the system" for pre-1990s Paquime/Anasazi theory and might be considered a masterpiece of original research and mystical art in both design and photography.

This outstanding guidebook also includes the unique and extensive coverage given to the Copper Canyon train trip, the Tarahumara championship runners, plus new materials on the Mystical Barrancas. 8 1/2 x 11", 140 pages, full color, perfect bound.

About the Author

The author, Richard D. Fisher, is committed to helping the Tarahumara during this present period of severe drought. This is a type of drought that helped wipe out the Anasazi. The "children of Kokopelli" that you see in our latest book have received four food deliveries totaling over twelve tons this year and 150 tons over the past eight eight years. The Tarahumaras that you see in our books are the Tarahumaras receiving these food deliveries which is directly contributing to their survival. A significant percentage of profits from our books contribute to these food deliveries. We thank you for supporting our publications and relief efforts! In 2003 we are founding a wildlife center that is worthy of your support as well. Please contact us at Wilderness Research Expeditions, Ltd., P.O. Box 86492, Tucson, AZ 85754, (520)882-5341

5.0 out of 5 stars This books captures the people of the Copper Canyon., February 22, 1999
By A Customer
Whether you plan to take a trip to Mexico's Copper Canyon or not, this book is a wonderful journey into that region. It provides both a fascinating look at the Tarahumara Indians as well as travel tips for the adventurous traveler.

Padre Luis Verplancken, S.J., the co-author of the books, has lived in the Copper Canyon region for more than 20 years. He provides an intimate portrait of the Tarahumara, both in words and pictures. Through Padre Verplancken, we learn about the Tarahumara people, religion, and social structures.

Mr. Fisher has compiled additional information on some of the other interesting places in the region. No trip to the Copper Canyon is complete, for example, without a visit to Batopilas. Or take a trip on the the Chihuahua El Pacifico railroad.

So whether you are an armchair traveller or a hearty hiker, this book is a must.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, January 4, 2007
This is the only book I could find on the canyon. It gives you a good overview of what to expect before you leave home and is a handy reference for when you get back. There are some photos - many of places you will not see unless you have your own independent mode of transportation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Copper Canyon by Richard Fisher, March 23, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
It was just fine - for what it is. The layout is not so great -- has a sort of mish-mash graphic design. The maps are great -- it is written in both English and Spanish -- so a little hard to follow - but all the parts are there in both languages. It's fine for the price - tho' a bit odd.
