If you have any interest in the Grand Canyon, this is a must buy. Dr. Hamblin has spent a lifetime studying the GC (Grand Canyon). He uses special cameras with stabalizers & airplanes to get remarkable photos. More than spectacular photos, he gives meaningful information about the geological features. As I started to look thru the pages, I kept coming across photos that literally took my breath away. Dr. Hamblin is a world renowned geologist and GC expert, & a true artist as well. He takes many photos & then sorts thru them to get just the right color & lighting. Since many of these photos are taken from the air or on the river, it has many scenes that are not generally available to the average GC visitor. This is not just a lot of pretty pictures, this is a masters hand in explaining the beauty, granduer & excitment of one of the worlds wonders. If you have been to the GC, this is a must, to see what you probably missed. If you can go, or go again, this book will help you understand what you are looking at. I highly recommend this book, I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.

I have dory-boated the entire length of the Canyon.
Here is a "Must Book" to further appreciate the experience.
