The book was a pleasant surprise in that it was written in plain language with nice illustrations; rather than as some academician's project. Although the text could have been less wordy; the topical coverage was very good with a pleasant mix of quotes and facts. I'd recommend this book for the casual traveler wanting to learn more of the area to be visited.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Interesting Book; Nice PhotographyBy brandywyneGave this as a Christmas gift to my husband; who is of Tarahumara ancestry. He thought it was great; and loves reading about his family's culture. Not very in depth I think; but nice photos and some good info on the culture to those who don't yet know about these awesome people :)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
