Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. California's picturesque villages and small towns and its stunning landscape, from rugged sierras and fog-laced headlands to golden sand beaches and rolling oak-studded ranchland. California is nicknamed 'The Golden State,' and though the name applies literally to the color of its state flower, the golden poppy, it is also a metaphor for the hopes and dreams that have lured generations of settlers. There are villages that grew up around the famed Spanish mission trail, and communities that boomed because of Gold Rush fever. There are places whose natural beauty nurtured artists and writers, and fertile valleys that were home to vintners and cattlemen. The state is known for reinventing itself, yet a surprising number of its towns and villages still offer charming glimpses into its history and heritage. Their architecture may be quaint, historic, or gracious and their physical settings may take the breath away, but they are also vital communities, prized for their small-town values, their lifestyle, food, and wine. This book showcases the most beautiful villages and towns of California in Nik Wheeler's stunning photography and Joan Tapper's perceptive commentaries. These evoke not just historic houses, but also streetscapes, parks, and physical surroundings. The book is divided into four regions: Northern California Coast, Northern California Mountains and Valleys, Central and Southern California Coast, and Central and Southern California Mountains and Valleys. In addition, there are photographic essays on the wine country, missions, and ghost towns, plus essential information for tourists on places to stay and to eat. 323 color photographs. Showcasing the most beautiful villages and towns of California, this collection of Wheelers stunning photography and Tappers perceptive commentaries evokes not just historic houses but also streetscapes, parks, and physical surroundings.…

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. When you think of the American Southwest, it isn t the towns that initially come to mind. Rather, it s the incredible landscape: carved-out chasms, towering red rocks, and dramatic desert expanses. But you shouldn t miss the beautiful old towns the clusters of adobe houses around Spanish-style plazas and the rows of Victorian miners cottages that still cling to precipitous hillsides. Many of these communities started as remote outposts, then flourished in a burst of riches, only to fade again. Today the Southwest is a region of energetic growth and multicultural vitality, and its quaint towns are enjoying renewed attention as their rich history, striking settings, and distinctive architecture attract Americans touring their homeland s picturesque byways as well as visitors from around the world. Nik Wheeler s stunning photography and Joan Tapper s perceptive commentaries celebrate the beauty and heritage of thirty special communities in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and western Colorado. They range from tiny villages of a few hundred people to towns of as much as 40,000, but most are the kind of place where a chance conversation still opens doors: Bisbee, Spring City, Truchas, Tubac, Tombstone, Cimarron, Silverton, Ouray, Winnemucca, Moab, Sedona, and so many more. From pueblos to Victorian storefronts to ski resorts, this vision of the Southwest evokes both America's frontier heritage and the expansive vistas of its future through profiles of 30 special communities. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
