Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Yellowstone country is a living entity composed of a wide variety of animals.

Vast forests, two national parks, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, thundering waterfalls, gurgling hot springs, and more than two-thirds of the world's active geysers lie within one of the most intact ecosystems in the lower 48. Author Seymour L. Fishbein and photographer Raymond Gehman delve into the controversies of the region such as swelling elk herds, grizzly bears that encroach on campsites, logging, mineral exploration, and ranchers' fears of the spread of disease from bison to livestock. Park, forest, and refuge management strive to balance multiple use and preservation in the hope that the ecosystem will remain as vital and as wild as it is today. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
