Synopsis
The first of Graphic Arts Books's fully redesigned state book series, Arizona offers breathtaking views of the state's most beloved trademarks such as red rock, desert sands, and wildflowers. World renowned landscape photographer David Muench captures the beauty of the Grand Canyon, Mexican Highlands, and the Sonoran Desert in this timeless collection of photographs. Explore this naturally rich landscape from impossible cliff dwellings to ethereal rock formations, from the giant saguaro cactus to petroglyphs carved into stone. Read about Native American heritage, Arizona's wildlife, and natural history through extended, detailed captions for each photo. With an average annual rainfall of a mere 8.3 inches, this state's unique climate and culture radiate from the pages of Arizona.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
"I recently came across a copy of the log of the first air-driven boat up the Colorado River in Glen Canyon... July 3, 1938...Passengers Josef Muench, Joyce R. Muench and David Muench. I was twelve. It was a six mile hike to Rainbow Bridge. Twenty-one years after that excursion, Glen Canyon was drowned beneath Lake Powell. My trip, which can never be repeated, became a part of history, while Glen Canyon now exists only in the photographs of my father and other early Arizona photographers, and as memory, one more part of the human-altered landscape."
From the Introduction by David Muench
