This is such a great book. I originally got it for a Park Resource Management class while pursuing my Master's degree. This is definitely one of those books that you hang on to after you finish the class.

Wildland Recreation has so many different resources. There are pictures, charts, graphs, diagrams, and my favorite- case studies and examples of research. It is a great reference to use when writing papers or doing other research, because you can go look up the study. Not only that, but at the end of each chapter, all the references are provided, making it easy to search for what you need outside of this book.

Wildland Recreation is well written and understandable. The information is clear and straightforward, easy to comprehend. The chapters and sections are nicely divided into categories. This is a great book for anyone interested in any aspect of wildland management.

I found this book to be highly informative with exactly the type of information I needed for planning skiing and snowshoeing forays into Idaho's snow country - but more than that, it is highly readable with outstanding anecdotes and historical facts liberally spread throughout. A must-have for anyone interested in winter outdoors

I read this book years ago when it was first published in hardcover. It was the best book on wolves I have ever read. The fact that it is scientifically accurate actually made it more readable, not the least bit dry or dull. The wolves are complex, intelligent creatures that you come to admire even more as you read about their elaborate social rituals. I am buying this book for the second time!

From the moment the reader begins this wonderful trip into Doris's world, the devotion of the author to Doris is immediately recognized. Doris manages to teach the reader a new lesson about life during her time, with the turn of every page. For a person who has never been "out west" the author of this book supplies a personalized tour through the beauty and spleandor of Montana using vivid imagery and helps us to see it through the eyes of Doris, a true American. I enjoyed every page and felt like I knew Doris personally by the end of the book. I believe the author shares his relationship with this remarkable woman in a touching way, sharing with the reader the way in whcih Doris personally touched his life. Doris's wit, spirit, determination, and steadfastness are an inspiration for us all!

Both a picture book and an informative book. Chapters include: Forward by Jane Goodall, History of San Diego Zoo, History of San Diego Wild Animal Park, A Gorilla Family Saga-From Albert to Jitu, Other Famous and Important Animals, Animal Acqusition, Exhibiting the Animals, Feeding the Animals, Veterinary Care, Animal Management at the Park, Research and Captive-Breeding Efforts.

This was an excellent guide to have with us as we entered Yellowstone National Park. It includes West Thumb, Old Faithful and Mammoth Junction. The tape tells fascinating stories of the people who discovered Yellowstone as well as what to look for around the bend. It made the trip more delightful and educational for us and our children.

Ever wondered how that mountain got its name? Ever wondered why a small geyser has such a magnificent name? Lee has done excellent work here in compiling stories behind many of the features you encounter when in Yellowstone National Park. It is great fun to lear more about the things you have always taken for granted in Yellowstone (Note: This is a shorter version of Wonderland Nomenclature - a guide which contains stories behind almost every Yellowstone name -....)

Yellowstone: Photographs Of A Fly-Fishing Landscape by John Juracek is a simply awe-inspiring selection of beautiful, full-color photographs of a fisherman enjoying great and memorable fly-fishing locales in the Yellowstone National Park during day, sunset, night, and throughout all the seasons of the year. Yellowstone is entirely devoted to the photographs; the only text sections are a brief introduction, and simple captions naming the locale of each photograph - from Firehole River to Henry's Fork, Idaho. A superb giftbook for fly-fishers who treasure memories of wilderness beauty, Yellowstone is a thoroughly impressive volume of the photographer's art and could well serve as an example for similar projects by other aspiring nature photographers to emulate.

A great book and a wonderful gift for anyone who loves Yosemite. Rowell's photographs are wonderful, and are set to John Muir's observations and memories of the Valley.

One of the best places on earth photographed by the best in the business. These stunning pictures will take your breath away. One sometimes wishes for larger pictures.
