The Exploration Of The Colorado River And Its Canyons On May 24, 1869, ten men in four boats pushed off at Green River, Wyoming.  On August 30, six men in two boats down to their last ten pounds of moldy flour, fifteen pounds of dried and re-dried and re-dried apples and a few pounds of coffee, came out into open country at the mouth of the Virgin River - blackened, bearded, emaciated, in rags - and saw three Mormons and an Indian seining for fish in the shallows.  This is a griping tale of the first trip down the Colorado River.

Fire

A Force of Nature

Fire has been mankind's companion and foe since the dawn of time.  It's a fundamental element of the planet, like air, shaping the patterns of life.  Our opinion of fire has changed often, but fire itself is the same.  The real challenge of fire is to understand it and the earth we life on.

Beautiful full color photographs help 
tell the story of fire.

Wildflowers of 

Wyoming

Even with its craggy peaks and dusty plains, scorching sun and subzero temperatures, Wyoming's terrain and climate are not nearly as diverse as its wildflowers.  From the rosy purple moss campion that blankets the state's treeless tundra to the lavender-flowered beardtongue found in roadside ditches across the plains, Wyoming's wildflowers brighten the Cowboy State's rugged and forbidding landscape.

Wild Horses: 
A Spirit Unbroken
Wild Horses exist in as diverse and hostile locations as the arid deserts of India and the remote sandbanks of Sable Island off the coast of Nova Scotia.  This book traces their origins and explains how geographic history and crossbreeding have influenced their development and provided the variety of breeds that now exist worldwide.  Excellent photography catches many of the breeds and their habitats in vivid color.
