Appealing to outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife aficionados alike, this volume combines information about U.S. national parks with material on the animals that inhabit those parks... Color photos throughout make the book delightful to browse.

Considering the 212 pages of outstanding color photography and fine writing, the book is a real bargain at $24.95.

Too big to be a practical field guide, this title could nonetheless inspire many readers to head for the outdoors.
