Images in Stone
Presents Muench's beautiful photos of the petroglyphs and pictographs chipped, chiseled, and painted in prehistoric and historic times onto boulders and rock walls in the Southwest and in California, Baja California, and the Columbia River gorge. Anthropologist Polly Schaafsma provides an introductory essay and commentary on the background of the people who created the rock art and the world they inhabited. References, an index, and perhaps a few maps would have extended the value of this reference. 12x12.5" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Photos by David Muench, essays and commentary by archaeologist Polly Schaafsma. A beautiful book of Rock Art on the Colorado Plateau & Rio Grande valley. I need to re-read it. 5 star book!
As always, read the publisher's introduction first. Where I see the book actually covers all the Western deserts?
Note that good used copies are available for around $6 ppd @ Amazon, and likely less at Thriftbooks.
