by Wayne Ranney. The Grand Canyon is one of earth's most recognizable landscapes, yet a definitive answer for how or when it formed has proved elusive — even though geologists have studied the canyon for almost 150 years! The book is filled with color photographs by the author as well as other well-known southwestern photographers, paintings by Grand Canyon artist Bruce Aiken, numerous original illustrations and maps, and views of the canyon from space. A concise summary of the most likely set of events that gave rise to Grand Canyon is included at the end of the book. A glossary, index, and scientific and popular bibliographies are also included.
Softcover, with vibrant color photographs; 160 pages.
