2.0 out of 5 stars
Requires some glossing to get the most out of it., February 6, 2006
This review is from: Red Rock Sacred Mountain: The Canyons & Peaks from Sedona to Flagstaff (Paperback)
Stuart Aitchison, Red Rock - Sacred Mountain: The Canyons and Peaks from Sedona to Flagstaff (Voyageur, 1992)
Despite the title, what one finds here is not a travel guide. Rather, Aitchison's book is a look at the ecological history of the region, with the somewhat expected added commentary. The history itself is quite interesting, and visitors to the region are sure to find much of interest here. The book's problems begin (and, really, end) with Aitchison's periodic commentary on how awful it is that, essentially, humans exist to disturb the delicate balance of nature. If you can get past that, it's a readable book, and the pictures are fantastic; the problems is, there's a whole lot of it. **
