Ancient Ruins of the Southwest August 30, 2008
The author has put together a quite detailed listing and description of the ancient ruins throughout the southwestern states. The directions to the sites are excellent. Reading the descriptions of the ruins you get an excellent history of the ancient peoples that occupied the area prior to the coming of the europeans.

Good Overview June 28, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'm not qualified to review a book. However, I did read every page and found the book gave me a good overview of many ruins in the southwest. I would call it more of a "1 minute quick look" at the ruins since most articles were short. I'm not sure I could have followed all the (brief) directions to the sites.

Overall, buy the book if you want a quick introduction to a site you plan to visit.

Well Written January 10, 2007
This is a well written, well organized book for touring the SW ruins. It gives brief overviews of the various cultures and then provides travel/hike guidance. Very good first book to go to when planning a ancient SW civilizations based SW tour.

Ancient New Mexico and Arizona July 20, 2005

When visiting Arizona and New Mexico, Ancient Ruins of the Southwest is a valuable tool. This is an excellent reference
to the magnificent early civilizations of this area. The book
gives excellent, precise directions to each site and the history
of each. My last trip to New Mexico was greatly enhanced by this book.
