Spanish settlers founded Albuquerque in 1706; making it the third of only four villas (towns) in colonial New Mexico. Located in the Rio Abajo along a wide turn on the Rio Grande; the settlement developed from a small farming community into New Mexico�s largest; most modern city. Many notable men and women participated in this remarkable growth; lending their talents and sacrificing their time; energy; and sometimes their very lives. Dozens of these legendary figures are portrayed in this unique book; with chapters devoted to those who played important roles in politics and diplomacy; the military; law and order; religion and education; art and literature; culture and entertainment; business and tourism; health; science; technology; and space; and sports. A final chapter describes several of Albuquerque�s sung and unsung heroes. The result is a collage of a Western city filled with diversity; tradition; and cultural pride.

A must read for every lighting professional.By CustomerThe first book I ever read on the subject of stage lighting was The Stage Lighting handbook and it completely changed the way I thought of lighting. This book took those same concepts and expanded and refined them. It showed me that there was more than one method of lighting the stage and helped me figure out how to create the looks I wanted. It helped me notice the light in the world around me and taught me how to use that to create effects on the stage. In the 21st Century when lighting is dominated by LEDs and automated fixtures the same concepts that this book outlines still apply. Its the best book Ive read on the subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy JimGood subject coverage0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
