How the Canyon Became Grand

Pyne, who spent 15 seasons as a forest firefighter on the canyon's North Rim, includes 24 pages of black-and-white photos, maps and canyon paintings. Niftier, though, is a delightful appendix of charts and graphs that plot canyon history, geology, culture, tourism, literature and art in unique and revealing detail. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
