Valles Caldera

New in paperback, this book tells the natural and human history of the Valles Caldera preserve. In 2000, President Clinton signed into law the Valles Caldera Preservation Act, legislation that transferred to the public domain a privately owned ranch in northern New Mexico. This history outlines the unique administrative experiment now underway to manage its public lands. In addition, the splendour of this rare place is captured in beautiful photographs.
