Author: Bauer
Join Erwin and Peggy Bauer as they present this amazing region from tourists gazing at Old Faithful to serene fly fishing at Trout Creek with spectacular photos and engaging text. You’ll learn about the fascinating expeditions, trappers, and hunters in the history of the park, and about the fires of 1988 and Yellowstone's subsequent regrowth. This newly revised edition also includes details about the wolf reintroductions and the effect wolves have on the Yellowstone ecosystem, the destruction caused by non-native plants and animals, the 1996-97 slaughter of nearly one-third of the Yellowstone bison herd in an attempt to control the spread of brucellosis, the dilemma over management of wildlife, and the use of bacteria from Yellowstone's thermal pools in DNA research. Whether you've visited the park a dozen times or are one of the uninitiated, Yellowstone is a treat. Erwin and Peggy Bauer may be the most frequently-published wildlife photographers in the world today. They have been photographing and writing about animals and natural wonders of the world for more than forty years, and have won many awards both nationally and internationally for their stunning wildlife portraits.
