| Summary |
"When Yellowstone National Park was founded in 1872, it was the first such entity in the world. Over the next 140 years, additional parks have been added from coast to coast as a direct result of citizen voices demanding that special places be preserved for everyday Americans and international visitors. In this book, you'll explore all 59 parks through dynamic photos that reveal the landscapes, plants, animals, and histories that make them unique--along with the challenges scientists and rangers face in preserving these pristine spaces for generations to come"--Cover, page 4. |
