To explore the Grand Canyon is to travel through time. Recorded in the layers of rock are 200 million years of earth history, encompassing the age of dinosaurs and the birth of the human species. The colors, textures and composition of the various layers all provide clues to past ecosystems: fossils of marine life contained in seas that came and went; remnants of plant life; tracks and trails from ancient deserts...and the story continues to unfold. The very forces that formed the canyon six million years ago continue to prevail today, and eventually this awesome canyon will wear away and disappear. Through the eyes of the camera we view the landscape and geology of the canyon from dawn to dusk, at every season, in revealing views from the air, the rim and the river. A glorious visual experience, to be savored--without a horde of tourists to distract the viewer! Highly recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (J. Reed)
