Reviews:
With this book, Stephen Whitney ably shows that there is much more to the story of the Grand Canyon than just spectacular geology.  It thoroughly explores the Canyon’s diversity of life, and thoughtful voyagers will want to have it close at hand. GREGORY MCNAMEE, author of A Desert Bestiary and Grand Canyon Place Names.

More than four million people visit the Grand Canyon each year, and all of them should take this book along.  By using Whitney’s well-organized and easy to use field guide, you will come away from this geologic wonder with a fuller appreciation of the complex world you have visted.
