About Rocky Mountain Natural History: Grand Teton To Jasper

Product Description Author Daniel Mathews provides in-depth scientific information on the natural world found between Grand Teton, Wyoming, and Jasper, Alberta. From conifers to lichens, grizzly bears to salamanders, and cutthroat trout to pine beetles this guidebooks provides a thorough reference for hikers, backpackers, and armchair naturalists. Beautifully illustrated with color photographs and line drawings, Mathews covers a thousand species of plants, animals, fish, birds, and insects found in the northern Rocky Mountains. Review ""This book is exacting, funny, prophetic, sometimes dark, sometimes fantastic, and as rife with narrative pull as a fine novel. And that's only from an armchair. In the high country in summer it becomes a near-bible, opening a world that grows more mysterious and beautiful even as its grandeur is defined and its intricacies known. If I could own just ten books for the rest of my life, this guide to love of nonhuman neighbors would be one of them." About the Author Daniel Mathews is a contributing author of the National Audubon Society's Field Guide to the Rocky Mountain States and Field Guide to the Pacific Northwest. He fell in love with the mountains while visiting the Rockies as a child, and he became a lifelong backpacker.
