GRAND CANYON SELF-GUIDED TOUR, Book I: (Leaving No Stone Unturned!)

Theme: An instructive tell-all 2-book compendium about all the essentials of the Grand Canyon, turning readers into know-it-all Canyon Buddhas. Thus, enlightened!Abstract: For any Grand Canyon guidebook, “interpretation” entails an exposition of facts describing the how-what-where-when-where-why aspects based on the canyon’s process of creation. The particulars also include an explanation when there was nothing here except a huge blank spot on nature’s map. The thesis in this cover-to-cover exposition fosters such a literary template and is likely the largest and most comprehensive Grand Canyon encyclopedia on the market. Moreover, edifying details herein take the reader on an educated self-guided stroll along the South Rim using key vista overlooks that explain everything about this Natural Wonder. The exchange of information is also presented in an easy-to-understand language, including the usually complicated geology academics. As a bonus to the reader, the changing subject matter is divided into graduating segments describing various science disciplines associated with the canyon’s ongoing fabrication (viz. natural and chemical erosion), a brimming summary of the canyon’s flora & fauna, human history (i.e., from the Anasazi to prospectors and pioneers), and travel and helpful tourist information (i.e., hotels, restaurants, shopping, what to see and do, etc.). What the ‘graduating segments’ reference implies is how all of the information is explained from the most basic to the more entailed aspects where the reader decides how much to read and think about. In other words, at any given vista’s tour guide sermon on the mount (in this case, the rim), the reader is never overwhelmed with too much information. Consequently, and like any encyclopedia featuring an A to Z index of topics, the reader chooses what to hear and think about, as in perusing or disregarding. With this all-inclusive digest based on the ‘“Grand Canyon Rim-To-River Exposition,” folks, THIS IS IT! Acting as the reader’s tour guide, get ready for an illuminating tour-de-force like no other. Book I is 634 pages and Book II is 208 pages, both in the 7 x 10 format)Happy, safe trails when hiking here, folks!(end) Read more
