About this title

Review:

Some Arizona books have these large sections dotted off--the Indian reservations the authors think you needn't know about--but this book takes you there. It's informed, pragmatic, and refreshingly free of hype. The "Important Things to Know" chapter includes Navajo creation stories along with health precautions and how to buy a Navajo rug. From Four Corners National Monument to the Grand Canyon, Fran Kosik gives needed survival advice on motels, camping, restaurants (and gas stations, which aren't as plentiful as you may think), interspersed with scholarly archeological, geographical anthropological information, and sensitive attention to the people who still live there.

About the Author:

Fran Kosik has lived in and traveled throughout the Navajo and Hopi Nations for more than 30 years. A registered nurse with an M.A. in public health, Kosik now lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, with her husband and daughter.
