The largest national park in the lower 48 states, it is a vast area preserved in its balance between nature and the early pioneers for us to enjoy today.
Seasons change the facade of the land at Joshua Tree. Spring presents carpets of yellow flowers and summer shows a shimmering landscape of rising heat waves. Winter, with its occasional sprinkling of show, can change that same landscape into a fantastic science-fiction scene, dominated by Joshua tree arms.
Joshua Tree, the Story Behind the Scenery, leads the reader through the many facets of the park's beauty, documenting the history of the area's interaction with humans, both Native Americans and the later arriving white men. You'll be fascinated by the passion of private citizens who petitioned the national leaders to preserve this vast desert.9x12, 48 pages, 85 color photos & 1 map.

YELLOWSTONE'S GEYSERS: the story behind the scenery (MT/WY/ID). by Duncan Foley.
Ancient rainfall and snowmelt seep into the earth, where the waters are heated by residual magma in a supervolcano. The waters then rise to form more than 10,000 thermal features, including hot springs, mud pots, fumaroles and the world's greatest concentration of geysers. In 1883 Henry J. Winser described " The Park is a region of wonder, terror and delight. Nature puts forth all her powers, and her moods are ever changing from "grave to gay, from lively to severe." "Here tremendous geysers shoot up their mighty fountains, causing the earth to groan and tremble by their violence; countless hot springs, indescribable in their strange beauty, show depths as translucent as the ambient air; pools of seething mud, casting up jets of colored paste, bewilder by their curious activity." 48 pages, 68 color photos, large-format.

YOSEMITE: the story behind the scenery (CA). by William R. Jones, former Chief Naturalist of Yosemite National Park.
Presents all aspects of the Yosemite story--geologic origin of the principal features, Indian history and "discovery" by early explorers plus role in conservation history as what has been called America's first national park (set aside in 1864 and before Yellowstone of 1872 but without the term "national park" in its formal establishment), scenery of the High Sierra, and ecology of the park's three giant sequoia groves. Yosemite! Its cliffs and waterfalls are so high that the first explorers to see them could not estimate their heights. Its landmark Half Dome is so distinctive in shape as to be unique in the world. Its giant sequoia trees are so old that contemplation of their ages strains our human concept of time. And its High Sierra wilderness is so remote and vast that few have ever seen it at all.
The story behind the scenery takes you through this magnificent National Park in a manner that is unique, interpreting the diversity of its wonders in a way you'll truly appreciate a tale told around Yosemite campfires: A lady visitor, who wanted to spend her time in Yosemite to the best advantage, asked a park ranger, "What would you do if you had only one day to spend in Yosemite?" "Madam," the ranger replied, " I'd weep. 9x12, 64 pages, 69 color photos & 8 maps. Revised in several new editions since release in 1971, now with over 860,000 copies in print.
