With summer just around the corner, we spent the month of May enjoying absorbing accounts of surf culture around the world, a fascinating field guide to our hometown of Santa Fe, and a reality competition series that inspired one editor to pick up a new hobby. Here are the books, films, and shows that Outside staff couldn’t get enough of last month. What We Read Like everything under the Wildsam umbrella, the company’s new Santa Fe Field Guide is so much more than just a guidebook. Complete with striking illustrations, interviews with locals, and thoughtful passages about important issues (like water access, child hunger, the Pueblo Revolt, and Indigenous culture preservation), the book delivers a thoughtful snapshot of its subject. I’ve been reading bits of it before bed, and while it may seem odd to read a travel book about my own town, I’ve learned a ton about Santa Fe’s history—plus, I have some new restaurants I want to check out! —Abigail Wise, digital managing director
