"National Award Winner - New Enlarged Edition." "Secrets in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks is a photographic essay of scenic wilderness, wildlife and hydrothermal diversity. Varied subject matter and rare shots of species are the main focus of this National Photographic Collection. Delicate animal portraits in that moment of curious tension, mothers with newborns, raptors in flight, ungulates in combat, fire and other events of nature represent the pictorial features. This photographic composition has taken 14 men and women 130 years collectively to amass this level of photography on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Throughout the collection the photographers reveal the secrets of how their photographs were created. The two parks are separated in this book in order for the reader to easily identify the scenic multifariousness characteristic of each area. Fortunately, the animals featured are indigenous to both parks, often following ancient migration paths and completely unaware of man-made boundaries. Geological and historical sections on each park are included with sections on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the 1988 fires. It is our pleasure to present 140 photographs in this celebration of nature with the sincere desire that their beauty will stir in the reader a lasting appreciation of the area and its wildlife." - from the inner front jacket flap.
