In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World
by: Henry David Thoreau
This is a wonderful book pairing Thoreau's words with dozens of Eliot Porter's beautiful color photographs: the kind of book best perused in an overstuffed chair in a warm oak-paneled room, but which makes the reader feel such cozy comfort whatever the setting. Gazing into its expressive photos always prompts a twinge of guilt that I'm not out on a hike, camera in hand, taking pictures RIGHT NOW.
However, I can't recommend this edition. The 1962 first edition includes a lengthy note about the Sierra Club's (and Porter's) search high and low for a printer up to his demanding standards for his color photographs, and the result was rich bright color on glossy stock with deep but detailed shadows.

Eliot Porter's Southwest
This book is full of gorgeous black-and-white photographs from all over the West in the 1940s. Central New Mexico is here--including the Canoncito Church near Santa Fe, Madrid, the La Bajada ruins, and the town and mines of Cerrillos--and so is White Sands, New Mexico, and southern Utah, and the mining towns of Colorado.
Many of the places photographed are in ruins, and the black-and-white coloration serves to make them even more desolate, dryer, dustier, bleaker. Sometimes the photos are of wide expanses; oftentimes they're of small details like where the rusted hook of an old door has carved a circle around it, from years of use once upon a time.
