The Linda & Dick Buscher's book is a photographic journey depicting the unique history, culture and natural beauty of Arizona captured in nearly 200 black and white images.  The authors have been writing and teaching the history of Arizona for more than 35 years.

Roger Carpenter’s two volumes comprise a treasure trove of letters written by his mother in the first years of her life in Tucson, starting in 1925.  In truly charming words and fascinating photos, they give an intimate portrait of Tucson from the point of view of an enthusiastic and very observant young biology teacher at the U of A.  The 2nd volume, beginning during the depression and continuing into World War II, has just been published.
