5.0 out of 5 stars
Mountain Journey,
By Ursus Somnolicus (Bearizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: THE ROCKIES PILLARS OF A CONTINENT (Hardcover)
Start at the Mexican border and track, chapter by chapter, the spine of North America. Visit the Southern Ramparts (New Mexico), The Heart of the Rockies (Colorado), the Mountain Frontier (Wyoming), the Crown of the Continent (Montana), and the Northern Reaches (Canada). Savor the natural and cultural variety you encounter along the way. The people you will meet in this book are memorable, the scencry captured by that National Geographic magic is unforgettable. Anyone who loves the mountains will enjoy this book.
This volume is part of the National Geographic's Special Publications Series, one of the best-kept secrets in the world of books. Since 1966 the Society had released four titles per year. The same size and shape as their iconic magazine, these hardcovers present the best that National Geographic has to offer, and without the ads! Authors have included such scientific luminaries as Isaac Asimov, Bob Ballard, Jane Goodall and Louis Leakey.

Lots of insight, too few images,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rockies: Pillars of a Continent (Hardcover)
I bought this book expecting a sort of National Geographic pictorial - and therefore a lot of landscape shots of the Rockies. I was dissapointed. Though the book is well put together and the photographs are decent, this is not a good book to get if you're looking for photographic examples of the rockies. If you're looking for the story behind the rockies, 5 stars. If you're looking for pictures, 3 stars (at most).
