Book Overview
The Rockies are familiar to everyone in North America, yet few appreciate the true diversity of these mountains.

Written in a lively, engaging style, the book features spectacular color photographs, elegant line drawings, and interesting sidebars.

Excellent overview of the land, climate, and ecosystems
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The many stunning photos alone would make this book a keeper. The writing is clear and engaging, so everyting would be clear even if you read the chapters out of order, say, by starting with the ecosystems rather than the geology. Books like this anchor a very useful middle ground between specialty works and the more-informative kind of travel guides like Moon and Compass American.
