Описание: The National Parks of the United States preserve our nation's iconic landscapes and some of the finest examples of geologic heritage. From glaciers to caves, volcanoes to canyons, or mountains to coral reefs, the nation's geologic features and landforms have been an important part of the American experience throughout its history. The geologic features found in our national parks are a testimony to the Earth's complexity and dynamic nature; a planet that has been in a continuous state of change since its origin 4.6 billion years ago.
The landscapes and awe inspiring geological features we observe in the national parks are merely snapshots in time as Earth continues its course of change as the result of interactions among the planet's many internal and external processes. The landforms and geologic structures within our national parks have a story to tell about an area's geologic history and tectonic setting. Geology of National Parks teaches how to recognize landforms and rock formations within a national park; thus, students will begin to read and interpret the geologic story behind the scenery which extends to scenery beyond the parks to their own backyard.
Students will also recognize that the plant and animal communities in an area along with the human history are linked to the landforms through the habitat, resources and shelter they provide. Geology of National Parks:presents the basic elements of physical geology. features two new parks in this edition: Congaree National Park and Pinnacles National Park.
Geology of National Parks features five parts:Scenery Developed by Weathering and Erosion on Flay-Lying RocksCaves and ReefsLandscapes Shaped by Continental and Alpine GlaciationVolcanic Features and Volcanic ActivityLandscapes and Structures in Areas of Complex MountainsThis edition features 59 National Parks and each has a dedicated chapter within these categories.
Описание: As majestic as they are powerful, and as timeless as they are current, bears continue to captivate. Speaking of Bears is not your average collection of stories. Rather, it is the history, compiled from interviews with more than 100 individuals, of how Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks, all in California's Sierra Nevada, created a human-bear problem so bad that there were eventually over 2,000 incidents in a single year.
It then describes the pivotal moments during which park employees used trial and error, conducted research, invented devices, collaborated with other parks, and found funding to get the crisis back under control. Speaking of Bears is for bear lovers, national park buffs, historians, wildlife managers, biologists, and anyone who wants to know the who, what, where, when, and why of what once was a serious human-bear problem, and the path these parks took to correct it. Although these Sierran parks had some of the worst black bear problems in the country, hosted much of the research, and invented the bulk of the technological solutions, they were not the only ones.
For that reason, intertwining stories from several other parks including Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Banff-Canada are included. For anyone seeking solutions to human-wildlife conflicts throughout the world, the lessons-learned are invaluable and widely applicable.
Описание: In the summer of 1962, fifteen-year-old Whit Thornton took a seven week camping trip with his parents through eleven western national parks. Among his adventures was a technical climb of the Grand Teton, 13,770 feet high. His father, Dade, was a third-generation artist-photographer. The flamboyant Dade had an out-side personality with eccentric interests. As Whit matured into adulthood he turned from the path set by his father to establish his own identity, pursuing a career as a lawyer. Over the years Whit relived the experience from 1962 through a journal he kept on the trip and through his dad's photographs. He was drawn to repeat the trip, a feeling that grew stronger with the passage of time. Strange Wonders is the story of Whit's attempt in 2012 to retrace the 1962 journey, to try to find the youth that spoke to him from the pages of his journal and stared back at him in father's black and white photographs. One of his tests would be an attempt to climb the Grand Teton again. The trip also become an unexpected opportunity to explore his relationship with his late father and reconcile feelings long repressed.
