"Mosaic of New Mexico's Scenery, Rocks, and History" by Paige W. Christiansen and Frank E. Kottlowski is a comprehensive guide that combines elements of popular science, geology, and historical account, likely written in the late 20th century.

Through various articles, the book serves as both an informative resource for tourists and a deeper exploration for those interested in the state’s rich heritage. At the start of the book, the authors introduce the concept of New Mexico as a mosaic of cultural and natural history, highlighting its significance as a region shaped by Indigenous, Spanish, and American influences. The preface outlines the book's purpose to enrich visitors' understanding of New Mexico's scenery, flora, fauna, and historical context.
