The authors, ardent defenders of the vitality of Albuquerque&’s past, contend that the city is still small enough to be in touch with its history and argue that what makes Albuquerque a great place is the continued presence of its strong traditions. They further believe that preserving Albuquerque&’s natural and cultural heritage is critical to the city&’s future. Throughout, both express a deep understanding for this complicated, beautiful, and often misunderstood place.
