About the Author:
Stewart Aitchison has been exploring, studying, and writing about the Grand Canyon region for almost 40 years. When not writing, he escorts natural history trips on the Coloorado Plateau, Southeast Alaska, and Mexico's Baja Peninsula. He makes his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, with his wife Ann and daughter Kte.
From Library Journal:
Naturalist author/photographer Aitchison combines a solid introduction to the Grand Canyon with a fascinating overview of the history, geology, and mystery of this national treasure. His focus is the remarkable natural and human history of the canyon and the forces that challenge it today. He successfully weaves his own views and adventures with those of early explorers, scientists, and artists while describing the flora and fauna of canyon ecology. He deftly addresses environmental issues like noise pollution from power plants and distant urban sources, the extensive impact of the Glen Canyon Dam, and the role of introduced wildlife. The number of books on the Grand Canyon is almost as vast as the canyon itself, but few present the subject so effectively for the layperson. Highly recommended.

Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Thus. "AN INFORMATIVE, ABSORBING LITERARY AND VISUALLY STUNNING PUBLICATION! "In "A Wilderness Called Grand Canyon," author, naturalist, and photographer Stewart Aitchison details the area's biology and geology, taking readers from the Sonoran-type desert at the bottom of the Grand Canyon to alpine tundra at the summit of the nearby San Francisco Peaks. Along the way Aitchison, who has explored the region for over twenty-five years, introduces readers to the variety of plant and animal communities that reside there. Throughout his trek, Aitchison recounts his own first views, adventures, and misadventures within the canyon as well as those of early explorers, scientists, and artists. The book also addresses serious environmental issues facing the Grand Canyon: noise pollution from overhead air traffic, water and air pollution from the Navajo Generating Station, and long-range effects of Glen Canyon Dam." Prolifically illustrated in full-color photography (most full and double-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. 128 pages. A VERY GOOD, BRIGHT, TIGHT COPY. *Note: Due to size/weight of book additional shipping will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment in accordance with destination. GD2. Seller Inventory # 005896
