In The Granite Landscape Tom Wessels synthesizes history, geology,
biology, and personal narrative to enhance our understanding and
appreciation of these high, wild placesthe granite summit balds of
North America. He explores the unique and fragile ecosystem that is
common to exposed granite expanses from Acadia to Yosemitehow it
evolved slowly over millennia, and how it is threatened today by
foot traffic and overuse. Wessels' wonderfully informative and
accessible text combine with his dramatic photographs and Brian
Cohen's beautifully detailed illustrations to bring the denizens of
the granite bald to life. The mountains they celebrate include:
Acadia National Park in Maine; the White Mountains of New
Hampshire; the Adirondacks of New York; the Wind River Range of
Wyoming; the Beartooths of Montana; the Enchantments of Washington;
and Yosemite National Park in California. 18 photographs, 30
illustrations, 1 map, glossary, index.
