Table of Contents - Hot News Alice’s blog is a compilation of news from the Arizona Republic, East Valley Tribune, The Arizona Business Journal, the Arizona Gazette, Arizona Business Magazine, Arizona Department of Commerce, and other sources. Alice also contributes her extensive familiarity and love of the Valley for her readers.

Because I’m an avid reader, I subscribe to three local newspapers, a source for much information of interest to the reader of my Relocation Guide. Therefore, I’d like to acknowledge and am grateful for the Tribune, The Arizona Republic, and the Phoenix Business Journal. In addition, there are many books on the desert southwest which I have not only read, but devoured. One striking example is The Southwest, Inside Out. This is a wonderful compilation of the history of our geography and geology. It contains exquisite photographs to illustrate the various formations of our land.
Another is the Book of Answers, by the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
