Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park holds the dubious distinction of having more tourists than Yellowstone. More than two and a half million visitors a year place a strain on the natural resources of this pristine section of the West. Photographer Fielder has spent more than 20 years capturing the majestic beauty of the park on film. This work is his ode to the park's fragile wilderness area. It's also the story of the conservation efforts that began shortly after visits to the park became popular and especially of the work of Enos Mills, who devoted most of his life to protecting Rocky Mountain. Fielder's work weighs in at five pounds and costs a bit more than most public libraries might be willing to pay, but if your library's patrons have even the remotest interest in the history and development of Rocky Mountain National Park, this is the definitive work for them. For medium and large libraries.?Joseph L. Carlson, Vandenberg Air Force Base Lib., Cal.
