"The Grand Canyon comes to life in more than 100 stunning photographs." From near and far they come, nearly five million each year, to see the Grand Canyon, long cherished as one of the nation's treasures. "Grand Canyon Country" explores more than the spectacular 277-mile-long gash in Arizona's red-rock country. Author Seymour L. Fishbein takes you to the remote forests of the Kaibab Plateau, the lonely reaches of the Arizona strip, and the multihued landscapes of the Painted Desert. Fishbein probes the intriguing history of canyon country, meets its people, and talks with those who ponder environmental issues and see threats to this magnificent region. The book -- like the canyon itself -- is something to treasure.
