"A Fragile Beauty is a joyful summing up, in words and photographs, of John Nichols'
life in New Mexico, and of his writings since 1969.  The book is a rich tapestry of his 
artistic, spiritual, and political evolution in a lovely but fragile land."

...

"That exuberant summer made inevitable Nichol's return to New Mexico 12 years later.  But
by then it was in the middle of the Vietnam War, and he brought with him a heightened 
political and cultural awareness.  Almost immediately, he began to work for a muckraking
journal called The New Mexico Review, and he details here the early stories, political 
struggles, and personalities that inspired books like the Milagro Beanfield War, The 
Magic Journey, and If Mountains Die."

Extensively illustrated, mostly with color photographs.
