Download or read book Red Rock Country written by Donald L. Baars and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the convergence of the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico lies the red rock country of the Colorado Plateau. The magnificent canyonlands of the region are the natural result of centuries of erosion by rivers, with their tools of suspended sand and gravel, and by heat and cold and rain. Relentlessly through the ages the rivers have carved the Plateau, exposing to our view the records of departed deserts and seas. Algal flats and small sea creatures rendered into stone are overlain by rock layers containing crustacea and fish, and the stony casts of dinosaur foot prints. Man himself is not neglected by the preserving stone; his drawings and pottery, the ruined houses of vanished Indians and the scratched names of John Wesley Powell and other explorers remain behind." -- Amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturalist Craig Childs's "utterly memorable and fantastic" study of the desert's dangerous beauty is based on years of adventures in the deserts of the American West (Washington Post). Like the highest mountain peaks, deserts are environments that can be inhospitable even to the most seasoned explorers. Craig Childs, who has spent years in the deserts of the American West as an adventurer, a river guide, and a field instructor in natural history, has developed a keen appreciation for these forbidding landscapes: their beauty, their wonder, and especially their paradoxes. His extraordinary treks through arid lands in search of water are an astonishing revelation of the natural world at its most extreme. "Utterly memorable and fantastic...Certainly no reader will ever see the desert in the same way again." —Suzannah Lessard, Washington Post
