I am very lucky to live 2.5 hours from Yellowstone. I visit on a regular basis and get to watch the seasons, wildlife, and tourists move and change.

The scope of this book includes not only Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks but the surrounding region including Billings and Bozeman in Montana, Idaho Falls, and Cody in Wyoming. The many charts, graphs, maps, and photographs illustrate the history, life, and geography of the park. These details interconnect showing how there is a whole ecosystem of political, social, economic and natural history factors which continually create and evolve the park. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the science and history of Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks. I would also recommend it to any map aficionados.

Check this book out at your local public library before you head to Yellowstone. You are likely to find it at the LC call number: G 1477 .Y4 A8 2012, or the Dewey call number: 912.09787/52
