Equally familiar is the stylized image of the roadrunner, which adorns everything from Native American pottery and jewelry to clothing and logos. Clearly the roadrunner continues to thrive as a cultural icon. Yet no other study comes close to equaling Wyman Meinzer s stunning classic, now available in this tenth anniversary edition.Meinzer s photo study is his personal account of the years he has spent observing and recording the daily routine of several roadrunner families.
