A fascinating and deeply personal essay by Ruth Rudner illuminates the significance of the arch in natural history, folklore, Native cultures, and architecture.. These spectacular photographs of natural arches, land bridges, windows, sea stacks, caves, and sea arches represent a master photographer at the top of his game.

hitl said One of my favorite Southwest books!. The Southwest is amazing and this book does not dissapoint. The book has high quality full-page photos, is labeled very well, and the text by Ruth Rudner was very enjoyable to read. The photos are amazing--I can sit down and spend an hour from cover to cover. I'll pick it up a week later, and enjoy it all over again. David Muench has captured some magic moments in just the right lighting as well as his creative near-far compositions.
