Windows into the earth : the geologic story of Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks

"These two parks are windows into the Earth's interior, revealing the violent power of the dynamic processes within. In Windows into the Earth Robert Smith and Lee Siegel offer guidance through this terrain, bringing to life the grandeur of these geologic phenomena as they reveal the forces that have shaped - and continue to shape - the greater Yellowstone-Teton region. Over seventy illustrations - including fifty-two in full color - illuminate the beauty of the landscape, while two final chapters provide driving tours of the parks to help visitors enjoy and understand the regions' wonders."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
