Description
"The book follows a 1500-mile route stretching from Mexico to Canada--traversing some of the most scenic country in the world, including the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Glacier national parks, and the Tetons--and in the process compares observed reality with common myth and image. The reader is the beneficiary of a close and fascinating look at a contemporary battle between growth on the one hand and preservation on the other. Numerous maps, charts, and photographs augment the show more text."--Booklist"The tone is conversational yet wise. . . . The authors have an eye for the significant. . . .
