Arizona of yesteryear.

Zindel, Deborah Teipel.

978-1-60710-016-4

Measuring 13.5x12.5 inches, this oversize volume could reside on a coffee table, where it would be perused frequently for its collection of marvelous photos by Edward Curtis, Laura Gilpin, and Ansel Adams, and others. Beautifully reproduced, a generous selection of b&w photos are presented full page (on nearly every page), offering viewers the extraordinary experience of their light and detail. Zindel (whose credentials are not stated) provides a history and extensive captions in this chronologically arranged celebration of Arizona's land and people — indigenous peoples, pioneers, prospectors; it culminates in a chapter devoted to national parks and monuments, including of course, the Grand Canyon.

Columbus and the Ohio State University then & now.

Kane, Kathy Mast and Doreen Uhas Sauer.

978-1-60710-010-2

This 11.5x10 inches photo book for general readers pairs b&w historical images with specially commissioned color photos of the same scenes as they appear today in the fastest-growing city in Ohio. A brief introduction chronicles the history of the city, and detailed captions tell stories of neighborhoods and events. Kane is executive director of the Columbus Landmarks Foundation. Sauer directs an American history grant for Columbus City Schools. (Annotation ©2010 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)

New Mexico past and present.

Forty, Sandra.

978-1-60710-019-5

This 10x11 inches volume presents profiles of 27 towns with brief descriptions and numerous photographs. The first few chapters discuss the history of New Mexico, New Mexico today (including a note about the construction of Spaceport America near Upham, NM), and state facts, including the state fossil, the state bolo tie, and the state aircraft (the hot air balloon). All of the town/city profiles include a mix of historic and contemporary photographs. (Annotation ©2010 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
