This revised and expanded guidebook contains everything park visitors need to know from seasonal opening and closing dates to securing accommodations and bringing proper equipment. The 300 photographs depict not only the natural splendor of the various regions but also details such as plants, flowers, geological formations and ancient ruins. The author, a national leader in wilderness preservation, explains what national parks are, what they are for, and focuses on the dangers threatening the parks by being degraded to the common level of resort amusement centers. He calls for endless vigilance in preserving wilderness, which to the people of America is a spiritual necessity, an antidote to the pressure of modern life. ISBN 0-87645-122-9 (pbk.) : $11.95.
