"William Dunmire's new book informs the layman about the diverse ecology of New Mexico?but Dunmire goes well beyond a textbook explanation. He wants readers to enjoy the diversity. So he fills the books with an array of color photographs and gives readers routes to drive in order to view those ecoregions from off the road."

"a reader-friendly, well-organized, beautifully illustrated look at the different ecoregions that define the New Mexico landscape. No lengthy hiking is required to view anything he discusses; all the cited examples can be seen from one's car."
