Reviews
“As an accurate snapshot of the cultural zeitgeist in Phoenix, AZ, [your] copy of Phoenix: 21st Century City is probably going to stay pretty for only a short time. It is going to get paged through, slowly, repeatedly, and often, by you and all your friends …. This is a book that can win over hearts and minds.” – Peter J. Wolf, Desert Living
