5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable geyser guide, May 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Geysers of Yellowstone (Paperback)

Now in its third edition and completely revised, this geyser Bible remains the definitive guide to Yellowstone's erupting thermal features. Detailed maps of each of Yellowstone's geyser basins and colorful descriptions of every known geyser make the book both easy to read and easy to use when stalking eruptions of even the most elusive geysers. A fascinating list of all the world's other known geyser regions, many of which have suffered from geothermal development, makes the reader realize all the more what a special place Yellowstone really is.

The Geysers of Yellowstone is the most supurbly written field guide on geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone National Park. It is an invaluable resource for new and old geyser gazers alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Geyser Reference Book, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Geysers of Yellowstone (Paperback)

The Geysers of Yellowstone is best guide to Yellowstones thermal features I know of, but I wish it would include some of the non-eruptive hot spring and mud pots. Never the less, the book is packed with in-depth information on everything the ever erupted in Yellowstone at time. I am a Yellowstone visitor for 8 years running, and more than half this book, I still don't know! A MUST for any geyser lover.
