Praise for Wuerthner's Grand Canyon:
"The best, most useful and most attractive [book] I have seen on the canyon."--Stephen Allen, publisher of The Guide
The ecosystems within Olympic National Park are diverse--from coastline to forest--and support a variety of birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, mammals, and plants. Olympic describes and illustrates in full color each of these plant and animal species and explores the park's geological history, land use issues, native people and past explorers--at once a traveler's guide, field guide, and natural history of one of America's most popular and extraordinary national parks.
George Wuerthner has written more than 20 books including Grand Canyon: A Visitor's Companion. He lives in Livingston, Montana. Natural science illustrator Douglas W. Moore lives in Tucson, AZ.
