Download or read book Glaciers of the Rockies written by Garrett Fisher and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by a love of glaciers and a need to see them before they disappear, Garrett Fisher piloted his 1949 antique airplane across the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, photographing remaining glaciers in the American Rockies. From Rocky Mountain National Park to the Wind River Range, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Park, the Rockies contain a surprising number of glaciers tucked away in wilderness areas...that is, until they are gone. Scientists predict that many of these treasures will disappear not only in our lifetimes, but in the near future. A feat of aviation, Mr. Fisher gets up close and personal with glaciers glued to the sides of rocky summits, flying as high as 15,000 feet while getting buffeted by strong winds and extreme cold, all the while hoping the propeller would keep spinning, as many of these mountain ranges were in wilderness bear country. His airplane lacks heat, weighs less than 800 pounds, and produces 100 horsepower on a good day. Containing 177 aerial images, the book is organized by mountain range, with detailed maps identifying the location of each photograph. With images ranging from scenic landscapes to detailed zooms of glacial texture, the work appeals to hikers, scientists, or anyone who loves the great outdoors.

Download or read book Winds of Change written by Garrett Fisher and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mr. Fisher first visited the Colorado Rockies in 2005, it was a verdant land of lush mountain forests. By the time he got around to moving there in 2013, sections of the place had turned into a veritable wasteland, with much of the forests having been obliterated by, of all things, a tiny beetle. Surprised but undeterred, an adventure began in an antique airplane that would later involve living near Yellowstone in Wyoming, wandering a good portion of the Intermountain West at mind-numbingly slow speeds and relatively low to the ground, camera in one hand, and aircraft controls in the other. While chasing down a long list of Western scenery, a collection of expansive photographs accumulated of Rocky Mountain forests from the Canadian border to Southern Colorado. Scenery varied from forests in complete health, total devastation, and everything in between, with the entire experience as majestic as one might expect. Containing 155 aerial images, Winds of Change is an exhibition of natural Western scenery that includes national parks, mountain ranges, wilderness areas, and national forests and is an education on the nature of our treasured public lands in the West, in both their distress and vibrant health.

Download or read book Frontiers in Colorado Paleoindian Archaeology written by Robert H. Brunswig and published by . This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Ice Age waned, Clovis hunter-gatherers began to explore and colonize the area now known as Colorado. Their descendents and later Paleoindian migrants spread throughout Colorado's plains and mountains, adapting to diverse landforms and the changing climate. In this new volume, Robert H. Brunswig and Bonnie L. Pitblado assemble experts in archaeology, paleoecology-climatology, and paleofaunal analysis to share new discoveries about these ancient people of Colorado. The editors introduce the research with scientific context. A review of seventy-five years of Paleoindian archaeology in Colorado highlights the foundation on which new work builds, and a survey of Colorado's ancient climates and ecologies helps readers understand Paleoindian settlement patterns. Eight essays discuss archaeological evidence from Plains to high Rocky Mountain sites. The book offers the most thorough analysis to date of Dent--the first Clovis site discovered. Essays on mountain sites show how advances in methodology and technology have allowed scholars to reconstruct settlement patterns and changing lifeways in this challenging environment. Colorado has been home to key moments in human settlement and in the scientific study of our ancient past. Readers interested in the peopling of the New World as well as those passionate about the methods and history of archaeology will find new material and satisfying overviews in this book. Contributors include Rosa Maria Albert, Robert H. Brunswig, Reid A. Bryson, Linda Scott Cummings, James Doerner, Daniel C. Fisher, David L. Fox, Bonnie L. Pitblado, Jeffrey L. Saunders, Todd A. Surovell, R. A. Varney, and Nicole M. Waguespack.
