Though the new metropolis is one of Americas largest; many are unaware of Phoenixs rich and compelling history. Built on land once occupied by the most advanced pre-Columbian irrigation society; Phoenix overcame its hostile desert surroundings to become a thriving agricultural center. After World War II; its population exploded with the mid-century mass migration to the Sun Belt. In times of rapid expansion or decline; Phoenicians proved themselves to be adaptable and optimistic. Phoenixs past is an engaging and surprising story of audacity; vision; greed and a never-ending fight to secure its future. Chronicling the challenges of growth and change; fourth-generation Arizonan Jon Talton tells the story of the city that remains one of American civilizations great accomplishments.

A very detailed guidebook to make full use of D7200By RainbowA very detailed guidebook on how to use the D7200 functions. The rather rich content is well arranged to facilitate users to get the information they want. I bought the kindle version which is handy to carry around; but the illustration pictures are of course not as clear and sharp as a paper version.
