Summary

This impassioned book, both a loving description and a critique, defines urban values in a milieu that is rarely recognised as a city. Updated over ten years after its initial publication, it is more relevant than ever to Albuquerque's future. A new chapter describes Albuquerque's recent development, placing it in the context of urban growth in the West.

Author Biography

V. B. Price is a journalist, poet, and teacher who has lived in Albuquerque for more than forty years
