520    "Discover a fresh perspective on America's National Parks 
       in a stunning illustrated guide featuring fascinating 
       science, fun trivia, and helpful insider travel tips for 
       all sixty parks. What caused the stone arches in Arches 
       National Park? Why are Yellowstone's geothermal pools such
       wild colors? How did the Badlands get their name? 
       America's sixty National Parks are some of the most 
       beautiful unique, and biodiverse places on earth, and are 
       visited by millions annually. Home to some of our most 
       treasured species of animals and plants, as well as some 
       of the most striking geological features--like mountains, 
       rock arches, caves, volcanoes, and geysers--the parks are 
       also scientific playgrounds, where visitors can learn 
       about botany, geology, and wildlife first hand. Scenic 
       Science of the National Parks curates and breaks down the 
       most compelling natural science highlights of each park, 
       from volcanic activity, glaciers, and coral reefs to 
       ancient redwood groves, herds of bison, giant bats, and 
       beyond. Highlighting information on the history and 
       notable features of each park, as well as cool insider 
       travel tips vetted by National Park Service park rangers, 
       this book makes a fun addition to any park lover's book 
       collection"--|cProvided by publisher.
