A personable and well written overview of Arizona's natural attractions, history, people, arts and architecture. Practical visitor information is accompanied by topical essays on Arizona's Hispanic heritage, cattlemen, miners, the Indian wars and literary excerpts by some of the state's best writers. Cheek introduces the guide with his own experience of moving to Tucson from Des Moines and his initial feelings of annoyance with the desert's bugs, climate and politicians. But his affectionate coverage of the state's canyons, mountains, deserts and forests proves that "in the end, this book is about falling in love." With detailed color maps and photographs.  (USW121, $21.95)
