How to Read the American West: A Field Guide by William Wyckoff

5.0

Part textbook, part coffee table book, this one is unlike anything I've ever come across before. Wyckoff is a Montana-based geographer who knows how to see the layers in landscape many of us otherwise miss – natural, agricultural, economic, political, cultural, and recreational. This one is already changing how I "read" the landscapes around me here in the desert Southwest.
