Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The American West is more than a unique piece of topography; it is a state of mind. Pete Bengeyfield, who has spent 25 years in the region in natural resource management, daydreamed about the area long before he migrated there; he has since devoted much time to studying its ecosystems, with and without camera in hand. The focus here is not on pretty pictures--despite the spectacular images that fill the book--but the physical and biological factors that make up the West, "a landscape with very definite constraints." Notes Bengeyfield: "The final image of the American West . . . will rest on the ability of its inhabitants and their economies to adapt to the region's capability."

Mountains and Mesa's,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mountains and Mesas: The Northern Rockies and the Colorado Plateau (Paperback)
I brought this as a gift. So i haven't given this to my friend yet. It is not yet open. I'm still waiting on another book by Pete that is delayed. I'm sure that both of them will be great as i had the opportunity to spend a week with Pete last month.
