Summary Though the world has seen many advances in technology and globalization since the publication of Harry W. Crosby's photographic work in 1981, little seems to have changed in the Sierra de la Giganta of Baja California Sur. The author of this book finds that the traditional skills and values - strong family ties, shared work, friendliness - of which Crosby chronicled continue to endure. -- Adapted from publisher's description.
