The heroic age of Latin American architecture lives on in the work of the brilliant firm Landa Garcia Landa, based in Monterrey, Mexico, and documented in this beautifully designed and printed monograph. Including drawings and schematics as well as dynamic photography, the book shows this young firm's rigorous and sensual body of work, a solid legacy of influences, ideas and reflections transforming the urban fabric of Monterrey, a city which brings to mind Houston, Texas, in its forward-looking style. A treasure trove of inspiration for anyone who wants to discover a vigorous new voice in contemporary architecture. With essays by Edward R. Burrian, Miquel Adria, Humberto Ricalde G., Agustin Landa Vertiz and Pablo Landa Ruiloba.

• Cerro de la Silla - Monterrey's most famous landmark is the saddle-shaped mountain that dominates the local skyline. There are also hiking trails to its peak, if you're athletically inclined.
• Cerro del Obispado - Historical site, originally home of the Bishop de Monterrey, with excellent views of the city. Home to a small regional history museum with a clerical bent. The Obispado can be easily spotted by virtue of its enormous Mexican flag, flying proudly beside it.
• Cerveceria Cuahtemoc - Tours and sample of Carta Blanca, Dos Equis, Bohemia, Sol, or one of the other beers brewed here.
• Macroplaza - In the east of the Zona Rosa is Mexico's largest zocalo, or central plaza, a stretch of green space lined with fountains, statues, gardens, and monuments. Ringing the park are many historical buildings and museums, including the Monterrey Cathedral, the Mexican History Museum, the Monterrey Contemporary Art Museum, and the former palace of the governor.
• Puente Colgante San Pedro - Futuristic suspension bridge set against a dramatic backdrop of nearby mountains.
• Safari Parque Estrella - Located about 30 minutes from Monterrey this wildlife safari park features treks through the Serengeti, a petting zoo, and a variety of attractions for the whole family.
• Cascadas Cola de Caballo - Take a day trip out to the park and see the waterfalls, just a few miles outside Monterrey.
