Description
From the Rocky Mountains to the vast rain shadow of the prairies, from deeply entrenched rivers and their prairie oases, and glaciated terrain, geology has a strong impact on wildlife. The relationship between wildlife and landscape is explored and exemplified in the lives of golden eagles and the Rockies, the American pika and eroding mountains, of burrowing owls on glaciated plains, and greater short-horned lizards surviving in semi-arid badlands. In this richly written and illustrated guide, Leckie interweaves science with spectacular photos and beautiful art to take you to the most interesting places to view wildlife in these two prairie provinces.
