THE QUIET MOUNTAINS: A Ten-Year Search for the Last Wild Trout of Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental

REX JOHNSON JR.

Books on fly fishing come in several forms, none of which resembles The Quiet Mountains. This isn't a travel book, and it's not about the environment. It's not a coffee-table book, or a book on fishing. Johnson set out to write a guidebook on trout fishing in Mexico but ended up spending 10 years recording the changes that occur in a land and its people as the modern world reaches them. David Burckhalter's spectacular photographs illustrate the beauty of this remote world. This book should please any one interested in Mexican history and ecology--or fishing. University of New Mexico Press, 2005, 224 p., color photos, hardcover, $45.00.
