The Rockies : a natural history / Richard Cannings

The Rockies: a natural history covers the entire mountain range - from its northern reaches in Alaska to the Mexican border. Rather than a detailed look at any one particular aspect of the mountain range, Cannings instead introduces the ecosystems of the entire Rocky Mountain range.

Taking into consideration that the Rockies travel through two countries, Canning carefully provides measurements in both imperial and metric and provides both the Canadian and American spelling of plant, animal and geographical names when they differ across the 49th parallel.

Beautifully illustrated with full colour photographs, maps and line drawings, The Rockies : a natural history is a beautiful tour of a most impressive and diverse geographical region.
