The book captures a remarkable series of photos of desert canyons. The photos are good enough to keep the book on my office conference table. Ms. Williams' text provides stories of people encountering wilderness at the near edge of mystic experience.

Straight to my heart. If you love the red rocks and enjoy Terry's writing, this is it. The photography is excellent!

Coyote's Canyon is a collection of photography of the Southwestern US, coupled with Terry Tempest Williams's haunting prose. The photographs are, by and large, rich and full of the sense of the desert. The collection of short essays by Williams includes two of my absolute favorite stories about the Southwest--the one about the Man who Buries Poems, and the one about finding the Perfect Kiva. Worth the read, for anyone who yearns for the desert, or who lives there and wants to rediscover an appreciation for its magic, both in photographs and in lyrical prose.

This book has contains some excellent piano pieces. The contents are as follows: "Journey To The Island," "Theme From 'Jurassic Park'," "My Friend, The Brachiosaurus," "Remembering Petticoat Lane," "A Tree For My Bed," and "Welcome To Jurassic Park."

Three pieces use the music from the main theme: "Journey To The Island," "Theme From 'Jurassic Park'," and "Welcome To Jurassic Park." Incidentally, I found these three to be the most rewarding to play on the piano. "Journey To the Island" is my personal favorite and is magical to play.

I give this book four stars because I know it could have been much better. There's only 32 pages here, and of those pages only 25 of those are sheet music. The front of the book has photos from the movie which are superfluous. I have no idea why publishers put movie photos in soundtrack music books. I think people who buy such books are probably familiar enough already with the movie. The extra space could have been used for more music pieces instead. On the "Jurassic Park" soundtrack, 16 tracks are included. This book only has 6 of those in sheet music form, and generally speaking those 6 are the more mellow of the songs. I think it would have been interesting to include some action pieces like "The Raptor Attack."

The pieces are at least intermediate in the level of difficulty, but they are very rewarding to play on the piano (I will give the publisher some kudos for releasing this as a piano solo edition). I highly recommend this book for piano players who like the "Jurassic Park" theme music.
