The Granite Landscape: A Natural History of America's Mountain Domes, from Acadia to Yosemite

Tom Wessels, Author, Brian D. Cohen, Illustrator Countryman Press $27.95 (216p) ISBN 978-0-88150-429-3
Since his college days in New Hampshire, Tom Wessels, now professor of ecology at Antioch New England Graduate School, has been fascinated with mountains whose smooth, bald peaks were formed by the glaciers that once spanned the northern U.S. In The Granite Landscape: A Natural History of America's Mountain Domes, from Acadia to Yosemite, Wessels takes outdoor enthusiasts to the Beartooths of Montana and the Enchantment Range of Washington State, where he reveals how their shared origins have resulted in numerous similarities, such as their nearly identical ecologies. Personal and engaging, Wessels will have readers reaching for their hiking boots in no time. Illus. ( June)
