À propos de ce livre

Bryce Canyon is a forest made from stone-and weather is still cutting it down.

Sediments accumulated. Land rose. Water entered cracks. Frost widened them. Ridges became fins, windows, towers, and hoodoos. The forms that define Bryce exist because destruction never stops.

William Stanek's The Living Bryce Canyon Biography follows that process through geology, high-plateau ecology, Southern Paiute relationships, settlement, tourism, preservation, fire, night sky, and the long human fascination with a landscape of astonishing impermanence.

Bryce appears architectural, almost designed.

Its biography reveals the opposite: a landscape produced by repeated failure, fracture, freeze, thaw, erosion, and time.
