{"product_id":"essays-on-the-changing-images-richard-v-francaviglia-9780890966204","title":"Essays on the Changing Images of the Southwest","description":"Why has the American Southwest been celebrated as a place of beauty and history even as it was condemned as a place without any past or, indeed, an inhabitable present? The contributors to this volume all address how and why America's image of the Southwest has evolved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e D. W. Meinig once wrote: \"The Southwest is a distinctive place to the American mind but a somewhat blurred place on American maps.\" Actually, it has been a somewhat blurred place even to the mind. The Southwest's physical extremes--urban and rural, tame and wild, ugly and beautiful, polluted and pure--complicate its image, but with the well-researched and thought-provoking contributions of this volume, the region achieves clearer definition. Generous illustrations help to underscore the authors' points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard V.
