| Sumario: | South of the border, a spectacular range of ancient volcanoes rises from the desert floor just a few miles from the Sea of Cortex. Virtually untraveled, the Sierra Pinacate in northwestern Mexico is a place that beckons adventurers. Here, in words and pictures, is a remarkable introduction to this place of almost surreal beauty. This book takes readers deep into the heart of this fascinating area. Julian Hayden, who worked and traveled in the Pinacate for four decades, introduces the natural history, archaeology, geology and human history of the area. Spectacular color photographs by Jack Dykinga capture the magic and the isolation of this stunning region. Hayden's text is presented in both English and Spanish. |
