If you are new to the archaeology of the Southwest, start HERE! You will save yourself weeks of dry reading about "conventional" views of the Anasazi, Hohokam, and Mogollon cultures of the first millenium CE in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.

Southwest Airlines' Crazy Recipe for Business and Personal Success75 reviews Kevin Freiberg, Jackie Freiberg Broadway, 1998 An example of process development for sales and customer service I read this book about three years ago and have found that the ideas that were presented were applicable to my business. As simple as "Hire for smiles and train for skills," was a "process' that was easy to teach and easy to follow. It was an easy read and I have encouraged others to read this book. Traveling on Southwest you can see their processes in action and they match right up with the ...             Photographing the Southwest: Volume 1--Southern Utah (2nd Ed.) (Photographing the Southwest)32 reviews Laurent Martres Graphie Intl, 2006 Excellent Travel Guide Laurent Martres does a fantastic job with this book! I used it extensively during my recent (Oct 2009) hiking & photography trip through Southern Utah to discover new and remote areas. I would never have found these remote areas without this book. Laurent's photography in the book is superb and his descriptions and photographic advice are "dead on". I love his rating system in the Appendix ...             The Most Beautiful Villages and Towns of the Southwest1 review Joan Tapper Thames & Hudson, 2009 Beautiful Book A beautiful book with interesting writeups.

Highly recommended. This is an unusual guidebook, in that the author lays out a series of suggested itineraries for the Colorado Plateau country, sized for a 2-3 week vacation. This would be an ideal guidebook for a first-time hiker-visitor to the US Southwest. But old hands won't feel left out, or condescended to -- Hinchman writes clearly and directly, and knows her stuff. She notes that her guidebook is directed ...             Southwest Slow Cooking14 reviews Tammy Biber Northland, 2004 Delicious dishes! Not sure why some reviews say this cookbook doesn't provide them with authentic dishes or that there's too much post-prep. I live in Arizona, have eaten southwest food here and in New Mexico, and compared to what restaurants serve you and what has been shared with me by folks who cook with these ingredients regularly, this book has the southwestern flavors famous in both Arizona and New ...             Photographing the Southwest: Volume 2--Arizona (2nd Ed.) (Photographing the Southwest)12 reviews Laurent Martres Graphie Intl, 2006 Great photographer resource I purchased all three volumes of Photographing the Southwest since each covers different areas. I am a working photographer who currently resides in the Pacific Northwest, but was born and raised in Southern Arizona. I had visited some of these locations previously on my own but even as a local I had no idea many of them even existed! This is a must-have resource for doing Southwest photography. ...             Hallmarks of the Southwest (Schiffer Book for Collectors)12 reviews Barton Wright Schiffer Publishing, 2000 Native American Hallmarks Excellent, comprehensive. Author has looked at many thousands of pieces to be able to identify so many. I bought it to identify one piece but have used it for several others before the week was up. It's well-organized, easy to use. Wish he had more photos of the beautiful jewelry, and it would be a good coffee table book.             The Border Cookbook : Authentic Home Cooking of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico14 reviews Cheryl Alters Jamison Harvard Common Press, 1995 Authentic, expansive and informative For the last 15 years, I had been looking to recreate several of the wonderful Mexican dishes I ate while living in Tucson, Arizona for 6 years.

Jameson August House, 1990 A standard reference This book is a must for the bookshelves of treasure hunters and armchair dreamers.

The Southwest USA & Las Vegas travel guide is chock full of informative information, culture, and pictures in a streamline 300 page volume.

Casey Globe Pequot, 2007 My favorite book on this area I travel in the region covered by this book a lot; over the years I have bought lots of guidebooks and other books about the area. Journey to the High Southwest remains my absolute favorite. I do not understand the comment of an earlier reviewer that it does not include helpful "tips" for "trip planning." You might consider supplementing it with a more standard guidebook of the Frommer/Froder ...             Lizards of the American Southwest: A Photographic Field Guide3 reviews Rio Nuevo Publishers, 2009 This is a great book!
