Download or read book Dinosaur written by and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a hundred million years ago, the area that is now Dinosaur National Monument attracted the behemoth creatures of its namesake with its plentiful supply of food and water. Renowned for its world- famous fossil quarry, Dinosaur National Monument is also home to two of the WestÕs legendary whitewater rivers: the Yampa and the Green. In this new addition to the Desert Places series, river runner and author Hal Crimmel, along with photographer Steve Gaffney, invite readers to partake in the beauty of Dinosaur National MonumentÕs remote, rapids-filled canyons, and wonder at the unique ecological niches found in this high desert oasis. GaffneyÕs reflective photographs emphasize the rough perfection of the landscape; CrimmelÕs pensive meditations and his river expertise combine to create a rare point of view, one that ventures into places the guidebooks donÕt go. But this narrative is more than tributeÑit is a reminder of the fragile nature of desert places. Crimmel lyrically combines his descriptions with an examination of the complex issues relevant to managing public landsÑinvasive species, tourism, dams, endangered flora and faunaÑto address the contradictions inherent in Òmanaged wilderness.Ó Over four seasons and multiple trips, Crimmel and Gaffney have captured the riversÕ sense of place, creating a portrait of a dazzling high desert landscape that needs to be appreciated and protected.

Download or read book Lost a Desert River and Its Native Fishes written by Gordon Mueller and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado River had one of the most unique fish communities in the world. Seventy-five percent of those species were found nowhere else in the world. Settlement of the lower basin brought dramatic change to both the river and its native fish. Those changes began more than 120 years ago as settlers began stocking nonnative fishes. By 1930, nonnative fish had spread throughout the lower basin and replaced native communities. All resemblance of historic river conditions faded with the construction of Hoover Dam in 1935 and other large water development projects. Today, few remember what the Colorado River was really like. Seven of the nine mainstream fishes are now Federally-protected as endangered. Federal and state agencies are attempting to recover these fish. However, progress has been frustrated due to the severity of human impact. This report represents testimony, old descriptions, and photographs describing the changes that have taken place in hopes that it will provide managers, biologists, and the interested public a better appreciation of the environment that shaped these unique fish.
